  • Today, courtesy of @Challengetheroad I am driving this incredible rare Rolls Royce Wraith "Inspired by Music" Edition car - one of just nine, and built to celebrate the connection between Rolls Royce and the world of music.
    It claims to have the world's greatest stereo - but does it, and is the rest of the package good enough to really be as sporty as Rolls Royce claim?

    Now we NEED a full GHOST review!…the 1st gen kind Sir. I own an F02 750 and it would be great to hear you find some comparisons. My F02 is HORRENDOUS when it comes to ANY maintenance! Absolutely terrible, maybe because it shares so much with RR. The wing/bumper cam got lost on the highway…the camera was almost $600.00 as its the same as the RR!
    Keep up the good work my friend! So many YT reviewers out there?.., but us subscribers all love YOU and how you do it!, so keep being you and your success will continue its growth at “its” own pace. You’re yourself, no gimmicks, and no crazy thumbnail/clickbait…us TRUE car folks appreciate that in this day and age fyi.
    Be safe Jay! ❤️

    The sense of girth and terror is this car you described is accurate because that left camera I felt all the B-roll from that I was waiting for hedge to knock the mirror off.

    @JayEmm on Cars .. Excellent review. Whilst no car audio system will match a proper audiophile set up at home, how does the Wraiths audio compare with the Bentley Continental GT 'Naim' set-up you tested in August 2020? As far as car audio goes .. that Naim system is one the most impressive I've experienced in a moving vehicle.

    All factory car audio is pants it’s quite easy to outdo factory audio even b&o Bose meridian etc by using a decent head unit high quality amps crossovers and focal or equivalent speakers. Then finely tuning the crossovers and amp filters / gains you can actually get some pretty phenomenal sound from a vehicle.

    Such a menacing looking thing, looks more like something that was designed for a movie villain than a production car and has huge presence. You make a great case for it but I would take a Conti GT instead as I think it has more depth and I prefer my GT’s a bit more sport than comfort biased. Thanks for bringing this to the channel, great review.

    A car inspired by music but with a stereo system that is found lacking and at a prices most of us can only dream of.
    So i won't be adding this one to my lottery win wish list.
    I have driven older Roll Royces and despite their claims, they were not the best cars in the world.
    You can't get it right everytime, but this one reminds me of a Jaguar X type that i owned for a few weeks
    before all the faults forced me to reject it.
    I can count on one hand the number of cars that i have owned since the mid 70's that i was sad to see go.
    There were so many that failed to live up to the hype that surrounded them.
    An expensive car does not guarantee anything, least of all live up to your expectations.
