The Wraith launched as the most powerful and driver-focused Rolls-Royce, featuring a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 producing 624bhp. These early cars are the most affordable but carry the highest risk of air suspension strut and compressor wear.
The Wraith is heavy and relies on air suspension for its trademark ride quality. Ageing struts or a tired compressor can leave the car sitting low or riding far more harshly than it should.
Derived from BMW architecture, the N74 V12 can develop leaks from turbo oil feed lines and the main cooling radiator or expansion tank as seals age.
Like other modern Rolls-Royces, the Wraith is highly sensitive to low voltage. Cars that sit unused can produce multiple warning messages or strange behaviour until the battery issue is corrected.
