The latest creation as part of Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Collections might as well have come from the Fox-body-loving garage of our own Sanjeev Sajeev Mehta. Showered in a svelte shade of heavy-metal brown, this Wraith ‘Inspired by Music’ model is just as inspired by the Brown Car Appreciation Society as it is Rock & Roll.
Starting with Rolls-Royce’s 1300 watt Bespoke Audio system — a feature the company has made available since the Wraith came to being in 2013 — the ‘Inspired by Music’ model is filled with copper accents, leather floor mats, and slathered in “Lyrical Copper” paint. In the real world, we call that brown.
While Rolls says the new car harkens back to its association with Rock & Roll greats such as Keith Moon, John Lennon and Elvis Presley, this Wraith is as close as you can get to a BCAS Approved Holy Roller™.
Brown? It needs a manual transmission and a diesel engine too.
…and we mustn’t forget to demand an available station-wagon body style, as well. :)
Too bad Brown still can’t overcome the whole “being a wraith” thing:

Maybe they’re trying to impress you?
Cool Chrysler.
Haha, yeah, I was going to say – it’s a money-is-no-object Chrysler 300!
“Gimme one of them beer bottle metallic Rollers…”
This thing is wretched. I can’t WAIT until an owner takes one out on the highway in the late afternoon and get’s a sun glint behind them – blinding them with reflected copper.
The paint is too metallic.
The “Inspired By Music” plaque is gross.
The “Bespoke Audio” is just rubbish, and the speaker grilles are too baroque.
I do like the little luggage inserts in copper on the seats. And there’s a way to do copper trim in a Rolls/Bentley, but this isn’t it.
This is it:

The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 was the way to do copper on a luxury car. be careful with the link Corey, you may need new pants…

I imagine that they did not consider the sun glare problem because the sun so rarely shines in Old Blimey.
It’s smoggy in China too.
Inspired by Sanjaya from American Idol. Rock and Rolls.
So if it’s inspired by Moon, Lennon, and Elvis why isn’t it amphibious, psychedelic, and full of willing virgins?
