Rolls-Royce Wraith vs Bentley GT Speed Continental Coupe

One of the prime competitors to the 2017 Rolls-Royce is the new Bentley Continental GT Speed. The ride flaunts a 6.0L 12-cylinder engine, capable of generating 633 hp of power and 620 lb.-ft. of torque. Both feats are slightly better than those offered by the Rolls-Royce Wraith. Speed has a smaller wheelbase as well as lesser ground clearance than the Wraith.

Just like the Wraith, Speed Continental Coupe flaunts an 8-speed automatic transmission mode. The ride offers slightly better performance than the Rolls-Royce Wraith. However, it takes 2 feet more than its rival for stopping during emergency braking scenarios. Both grand tourers have the same combined fuel economy of 15 mpg.

Rolls-Royce Wraith vs Mercedes-Benz AMG S 65

The opening bid for the Mercedes Benz AMG S 65 starts from $236,250. This is about $79k less than that of the Rolls-Royce Wraith.

AMG S 65 outshines the competition in terms of performance. The ride takes a mere 3.9 seconds for hitting 60 MPH and covers a quarter-mile in just 12 seconds. Moreover, it has a slightly better-combined fuel economy of 16 mpg than its rivals. However, neither the ride has the same spaciousness as that of the 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith and nor the same level of opulence.

The 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith is all about luxury, comfort, and a smooth driving experience. This car might not be the best sports coupe available but is the most luxurious ride to venture onto a grand tour.

To take the Rolls-Royce impact even to the next level, Wraith comes with a diverse range of options to choose from. These are available for the insides as well as the outsides of the grand tourer. However, the price climbs just as quickly as the appeal of the supercar with every new addition.
