Un-Finished Business

You have seen the TV, had the experiences that take you to other worlds at the cinema, have watched the stars cruising the red carpet to the Oscars, beautifully dressed and showered by flashing lights from cameras. Getting to the Oscar’s will have been an experience. Wonderful luxury cars will stop at that red carpet but can you imagine the experience and feelings of all this glamour yourself.  Rolls-Royce remaining foremost in its field for more than one hundred years has been looking at this and has put their classic style and expertise into a car that draws on all the elements of luxury, style and glamour.  Rolls-Royce has created a limited edition that will draw you into the world of the movies. No matter the role you play in life you will always feel like a star, with this enchanting interpretation of The Rolls-Royce Wraith-Inspired by Film.  As with any Rolls-Royce, they carry so true the reason ghosts, wraiths and Phantoms roam this earth.  They have un-finished business…The business to ever surpass luxury motoring.

Dabo & Co have with Rolls-Royce of Dubai supported ChronEVO in the loan of the Rolls-Royce Wraith Inspired by Film.  The adventure starting from one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks Emirates Towers, an adventure that started at first sight.

I had been introduced to the car, then left to absorb and immerse myself into the atmosphere and presence that this wonder shares. This classically styled car maintains without doubt the philosophy of Rolls-Royce. “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”  And you can feel it throughout.  Sat in the seat or should I say throne of soft fine leather and cushioning, I am already dramatically entering another world, anticipating those paparazzi launching an attack from around the corner.  It evokes a confidence and power in your feelings and senses. A feeling that is delivered in a very positive and calm manner and all comes as standard with Rolls-Royce.

The leading lady stands proud at the front of the car, hand cast from fine silver and visible to all that reside in the car.  She leads a car painted under inspiration of the silver screen in dashing two-tone silver.  Modern tones that suit so well the classic chrome elements such as the signature grille and the bespoke suit that will enter. Once in, there will be a myriad of elements crafted to inspire your imagination into endless possibilities. The dashboard has been covered with a veneer of crafted ebony, the signature Rolls-Royce clock placed at the centre.  Ebony drifts into the centre console and on to the centre rear console of the car.  Doors see elements of ebony travelling from the dashboard. A steering wheel reminiscent of old; slim with hand stitched leather, controls following the curvature of the central boss. Chrome elements catch the eye throughout and the ceiling of the car sparkles with its fibre optic constellation. Rolls-Royce has you travelling without moving.

Driving is an occasion every minute of the drive.  Start the engine and there will be no obvious movement or noise in the car as the 6.6 V12 powers up in Rolls-Royce’s most powerful car to date. The only evidence that the car may be running, will be the rev counter in front of you.    Using the pencil thin and precise moving side shift to select drive you move off and the spotlight lights up. Though the outer world maybe watching and taking in the grace, wonder and powerful nature of Rolls-Royce as you cruise, you are sat oblivious travelling in times past and caught up in the emotion of driving.  Your mind thinks ambitiously, you’re thinking of the next big project, with the imagination running wild.  Directions you need to pass through the business are coming to mind, with all this going on in the mind you are calm and relaxed, with feelings as though you have just left the spa.

Mind and body feeling pampered, there may come an occasion you need to be a little progressive. Almost forgetting that meeting you should be attending. Ok owning this you can be late but let’s not be flippant.  Press the accelerator and the 624bhp propels the car like a silver screen space ship. Hitting warp speed it will push into the realms of many a flashing light within seconds.  The car refuses to jerk at take-off or between gear changes, allowing that champagne your passenger may be drinking to stay in the flute, even if to enter a corner with a little enthusiasm.

Rolls-Royce has some of the most sophisticated tech hiding behind the elegance of classic looks and they hide it so well.  The info-tainment system is probably the most obvious sign of tech in the car and this comes with a closing ebony panel to hide the screen.  With that hidden, you drift nicely back in time, while cruising on the magic carpet suspension to your destination.

The experience is second to non.  This is a luxury car that you want to drive.  There is no need to hire a driver with the wraith, you will be missing taking your senses through their paces.
