Rolls Royce Wraith Rental in Orange County
The black Rolls Royce Wraith with the ivory white interior is based in Orange County. It is the 2-door Rolls, the fastback with the coach doors and 624 hp, so it is the car you drive rather than get driven in, the Newport dinner, the groom's car at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, the video that needs the Starlight lit through an open door. Chauffeur service available on request. It reaches Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
The throttle is the mechanism. The 6.6 liter twin-turbo V12 makes 624 hp and almost no noise, and the first inch of pedal does nothing much, as if the car is asking whether you mean it. Push past it and the rear sits down and 2.4 tons leaves in a single smooth motion. There are no paddles and no rev counter, just a Power Reserve gauge that drops as you ask for more. The 8-speed automatic reads the map and holds the right gear for a slip road. The steering is fingertip light on a wheel that feels enormous for the first hour. Air springs soak up Pacific Coast Highway. The coach door is too long to reach from the seat, so a button closes it. Take Newport Coast Drive at dusk with the Starlight on, in no hurry.
How It Photographs
Black over an ivory cabin is the pairing, and the ivory is the reveal. In direct sun the black goes to a mirror and the gloss black wheels disappear into the fenders, so the car reads as a long dark shape. In open shade the fastback roofline shows. After dark the Starlight headliner is the photo, so shoot it at dusk with the coach door open and the ivory lit from inside. The frame to take is the front three-quarter with the door swung open. Shoot the RR stitched into a headrest under the stars close. These photos were taken in a tree-lined office park. Put it under the porte-cochere at the Resort at Pelican Hill.
Why This One
We run 2 Wraiths and this is the only one based in Orange County, and the only one with the ivory cabin. The other is black over red in Los Angeles at $895 a day. This car is $795 a day, $100 less, with a $1,000 refundable deposit. Against the Ghost in Orange County at $995, the Wraith is the 2-door for the driver, the coupe with 61 more hp and the lower profile. If the photo is the open coach door with ivory inside, nothing else here does it.
What's On This One
This is the Wraith, the 2-door fastback Rolls Royce with the 6.6 liter twin-turbo V12, 624 hp, an 8-speed automatic that reads the satellite map and rear-wheel drive. Rear-hinged coach doors with power close, air suspension, the Spirit of Ecstasy and the umbrellas in the doors are standard. This car is black over an ivory white leather cabin with a black dash top and black carpets, RR stitched into all 4 headrests, and the Starlight headliner with its fibre optic stars above both rows. The grille is blacked out, and it rides on gloss black 21-inch multi-spoke wheels. 2 doors, 4 seats, and front seats that slide forward on their own for the back row.
