Launched in 2013, the Wraith is Rolls-Royce’s first two-door coupe that’s less than 18 feet long since the Camargue, which was discontinued in 1986. Designed by Pavle Trpinac on the BMW BMW F01 platform that underpinned the previous-generation 7 Series, the Wraith was named after a model that the company produced in 1938 and 1939 as a rolling chassis. Powered by a twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter V-12 rated at 623 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, the Wraith was the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history at launch. A convertible version named Dawn was introduced in 2015.
Having spawned numerous special-edition models, the Wraith has received yet another makeover from Bespoke, this time in the form or a unique, one-of-one example. Part of a pair of new Bespoke cars themed "Dusk until Dawn," the unique Wraith was unveiled at Rolls-Royce's ultra-exclusive Summer Studio event in Porto Cervo, Italy.
Created to “reflect the atmosphere and vibrancy of one of the world’s most exclusive and glamorous enclaves," the Emerald Embellished Wraith will be on display alongside a Porto Cervo edition of the Dawn, also a unique model.

What Makes the Rolls-Royce Porto Cervo Wraith Special
Representing "Dusk," the Wraith is finished in a two-tone silver exterior. The hue combination is quite subtle, with the engine hood and the roof being just a tad darker than the rest of the car. While far from impressive compared to other models crafted by Bespoke, the Wraith was designed to "reflects the dimming of the day's light." The exterior is rounded off by a "Spirit of Ecstasy" emblem that casts a soft light upon the Wraith's imposing front grille.
The unique Wraith is definitely far more spectacular on the inside. This is visible as soon as you open the door and make eye contact with the "Porto Cervo Wraith - One of One" insert in the door sill. Nearly everything is finished in shades of blue, purple, slate and black. There's acres of ostrich leather, large chunks of fine wood veneer, and great attention to detail. All four seats are wrapped in purple leather with white stitching and silver "RR" logos on the headrests. The cabin's main highlight lies on the infotainment screen cover, where Bespoke mounted the emblem of Porto Cervo made from emerald stones and mother of pearl, all set in white gold. The upper dashboard has a matching finish with an emerald-like green top and a white lower section.
The owner will also receive a leather headrest tattooed by London-based artist Mo Coppoletta. "The colors and atmosphere of Porto Cervo are truly inspiring. The designs I have created for Rolls-Royce evoke the emotion experienced by observing this magical place from the harbor of Promenade du Port," Coppoletta commented.
Under the hood, the unique coupe is equipped with the Wraith’s standard engine and transmission. The massive 6.6-liter V-12 cranks out 623 turbocharged horses and 590 pound-feet of torque, which are enough to send the coupe flying from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.4 seconds and up to a top speed of 186 mph. That's darn impressive for a vehicle that tips the scales at around 5,400 pounds.
There’s no info on pricing, but this car should cost way more than a standard Wraith, priced from around $300,000. Given the fact that it is unique, it could fetch as much as $500,000.
