Rolls-Royce unveils bespoke 'Wraith - History of Rugby'

Inspired by two Great British insitutions - Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and the game of rugby - the company is celebrating the illustrious history of rugby wth the introduction of the Rolls-Royce 'Wraith - History of Rugby', a unique creation from the company's Bespoke Design Studio.

Drawing inspiration from the rich history of the quintessentially English sport to create a unique car, the Rolls-Royce 'Wraith - History of Rugby' celebrates England's fundamental attachment to the game, through an expression of individuality in keeping with the pioneering inspiration behind the game of rugby and Rolls-Royce.

Many of the design features which run throughout the 'Wraith - History of Rugby' will be familiar to followers of English rugby, such as the English White, which pays homage to the white rugby shirt worn at Rugby School, a tradition continued today by the England rugby team.

Another evocative feature of English rugby is the red rose, which features on the Wraith's signature shoulder-line, accentuated by a hand-applied coachline in deep green. It has also been suitably crafted into the interior of the Rolls-Royce 'Wraith - History of Rugby'. Each headrest features an embroidered red rose, with Hotspur Red continuing the theme onto the dashboard accent panel, seat and door piping. Piano Black veneer has been selected for the dashboard, the centre panel of which is delicately inlaid with the English rose.
