bowed out of the U.S. after 2021, but the car remains on sale elsewhere. Now its production is coming to an end, and Rolls-Royce has a special version to close the chapter on the stunning coupe.
The automaker this week presented the Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow as the final Wraith, limited to just 12 examples and confirmed to be the last V-12-powered coupe in the history of Rolls-Royce. The automaker's future is electric, and that future starts later this year with theThe Black Arrow name comes from the black arrows that were painted on the Thunderbolt land speed record car of the 1930s, which ran a Rolls-Royce V-12 engine designed for aircraft.
The Black Badge Wraith Black Arrow stands out with its exterior paint fade which is a first for Rolls-Royce. It starts with silver at the front and flows into black at the rear. Applying the paint is a complicated process, not least due to the glass-infused layer that is applied to the black section to help create the blur effect. Rolls-Royce said it spent around 18 months of research time to arrive at the correct look.
The yellow accents carry into the cabin, where an illuminated element resembling the shape of the Thunderbolt is also mounted in the center console. A drawing of the Wraith's twin-turbo 6.6-liter V-12 also features on the dash above the glovebox.
