Palm Springs is an out of place green patch surrounded by brown mountainous desert. Two million some odd people visit Palm Springs annually. I\u2019ve driven by on the I-10 more times than I can count, but never actually stopped to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it\u2019s the nice weather. Perhaps it\u2019s the people to palm tree ratio. My reason for visiting is much cooler. I\u2019m one of the lucky few to be invited to the Rolls-Royce \u201cPower of Perfection\u2019 driving experience at the Thermal Club race track. Car to be featured\u2026 well, it is a race track, so what else but the newest addition to the family, the formidable Wraith. How much comfort and luxury has Rolls-Royce compromised in the pursuit of performance? Never mind the trees and pleasant weather. I\u2019ve come to Palm Springs to answer that very question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My trip begins on the curb outside the airport. A glistening white Phantom with the rare extended wheelbase rolls up. I sit shotgun and curse myself the entire 25 miles to the track for not sitting in the back and being properly chauffeured. Arriving in extreme style, I step out onto the hot tarmac, the yellow sun beating down overhead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thethermalclub.com\/\">Thermal Club<\/a> is a private motorsports facility with 4.5 miles of members-only racetrack. Well, it will have 4.5 miles of track when they\u2019re done with it. Right now it\u2019s still largely under construction, but Rolls-Royce had a little section ready for us to lay nice expensive skid marks on. The course consisted of a couple long straights, tight hairpins and medium speed sweepers. So how does a car with the same weight and length of a full sized pickup truck perform on a short circuit racetrack? Getting to the bottom of that was as fun as you\u2019d imagine it to be. I promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After a quick debriefing on the car and track, I jumped behind the wheel. Let me begin by saying that the Wraith is not a race car. Nor is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.738636576156814.1073741885.139372626083215&amp;type=3\">Rolls-Royce<\/a> claiming it to be. Nor are the laws of physics really allowing it to be. Instead of a triple-plated clutch, it has a dynamic, satellite guided transmission. In place of a jungle-gym like roll cage it has a roof liner filled with 1,340 hand cut fiber optic lights creating your very own star-filled sky. There are no rock hard racing buckets squeezing every drop of blood from your thighs. Instead, the seats are wrapped in soft leather sourced from cattle raised in a high altitude part of Europe where there\u2019s no barbed wire in sight and far fewer hungry mosquitos to scratch and bite the cows precious hide. You\u2019ll even find two seats in the back with enough space to comfortably fit two adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Powering the Wraith is the most powerful engine ever to make its way into a Rolls-Royce. It\u2019s a massaged version of the twin turbo V12 found in the Ghost, and it churns out an incredible 624 hp. That\u2019s enough to propel you from 0-60 in a mere 4.6 seconds! Punch it and this classy coupes exhaust clears its throat with a dignified \u2018ahem\u2019 before throwing you back into your seat. Power comes on silky smooth. The nose predictably and surprisingly tucks into corners with very little body roll or understeer. Steering feedback is just heavy enough and allows you to sense when you\u2019re reaching the cars limits. Given the size of the Wraith, the brakes are necessarily enormous. Thankfully, they do an excellent job of consistently slowing the heavy-weight track champion from high speeds in order to maneuver the tight corners that always followed the long straights. Even the tire squeal was perfectly polite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As impressive as the Wraith performed on the track, it was always a proper Rolls-Royce first. Wind noise was minimal, even at speeds in excess of 100 mph (which I saw plenty of). The cabin is lavish and unsparing in every way. The ride remains soft and cloud-like despite how planted it was through the corners. After an hour of track abuse I pitted the car to give the brakes a chance to cool down and the tires time to stop smelling like melted rubber.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After my time with the Wraith, it\u2019s clear what Rolls-Royce has tried to create with this newest addition to the family. With the Wraith you really can have the best of both worlds. You get stellar acceleration and truly impressive maneuverability without compromising the extreme comfort and luxury that have practically become synonyms of Rolls-Royce. It won\u2019t circle a track like a 911, but it\u2019s not meant too. The Wraith is calming and quite in stop and go traffic. It\u2019s the undisputed king cruising along a stretch of open highway. It\u2019s right at home lazily exploring around town, and as I recently discovered, is an absolute blast to drive on a race track! Maybe you can never completely have it all, but the Wraith will get you pretty damn close. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4528\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"size-full wp-image-4528 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-80x80.jpg\"  alt=\"Image via Rolls-Royce\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"640\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-620x620.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/18170253\/10258781_738713772815761_3649436986757824027_n-200x200.jpg 200w\" ><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Rolls-Royce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; By: Brandon Randall From 20,000 ft.
