I absolutely LOVED your review. You were very detailed oriented and took your time showing every aspect of the car and its functions whereas most other car reviews on TH-cam the reviewer speeds through it and that isn't a good review. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thanks so much, recommend us!
Love the Royce!
Thomas, it's always very pleasing to see how you remain objective even when reviewing a car like this
+Vasiliy Kulev thank you vasiliy!
the best car review channel I've ever know, great job Thomas for your review!
I think your reviews are now the best around- honestly! You take your time to guide the viewer through all the pros and cons of a car and then allow me to make up my own mind. I appreciate that kind of objectivity. Most reviewers stay subjective and either drool about a car- or take it apart completely. Keep up the good work!
thanks man, keep supporting us !!
Thank you for climbing into the back seats for us, unlike a certain “6’3”/ 6’4” “ reviewer.
He wears two shirts and shorts, doesn't he? 😂
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII whahaha
Excellent review - detailed but not boring, objective and with the pro/cons highlighted. Too many people think every RR is great but the reality is not the case. Great cars for driving in a straight line but going round corners is like a driving a boat. Very old school. This car is more for Middle Eastern oil guys with more money than sense!
+The Cat thanks for the support !
Any other Stargate fan that always has to think about something else when you hear 'Wraith' ? ;-)
+Autogefühl
Yes indeed!
-_^
Nice review!
What a superb car, I'm not into driving pillows usually but if the circumstances made me uber rich I'd get one.
This thing imposes itself when you're a billionaire you need this! lol
+Autogefühl Hello. I have noticed that when you searching something into the screen of any cars, you use german tounge. But it would be better to set english. English review and another language on the screen it is not so cool. I'm sure that many of your viewers will be agree with this thing.
Thanks for attention.
iminvisibleman skywalker
Yeah I must admit it would be logical, I support that suggestion lol
;)
;))
hi im from madeira island
@Autogefuhl(Thomas),you are simply the best in-depth reviewer ever on youtube and Internet.
I wish I could give you a million thumbs up,this is how to review a Rolls-royce.
+Mekkenergyen EZEMONYE 👍👍👍
Die Tiefgaragenaufnahme des Sternenhimmels schön! Endlich hat es jemand mit Qualität gemacht :)
I really love long detailed reviews...... Good job Thomas!
+Andres Rivers thanks Andres!
Yes, the long-format review reveals a lot about a car's personality. But the camera work is mediocre. And why film it in an ugly office park?
I love this video! The star ceiling is wonderful as are the interior appointments.Side note; the man hosting the video is super cute and I could listen to him all day. ;)
+wilbready thanks =)
Your channel gets better and better :) I was watchin your 428i convertible video while my 428i cabrio was on order now im driving it and you were so right about the car im loving it so much :)
+Edd Martin =) great to hear that! Which colour did you pick? keep following us!
Its white with red leather inside, full on options and m sport package :) hope to see you review more bmw cars soon :)
+Edd Martin Next BMW in stock will be 6series facelift convertible ! I am sure you ll like that :)
someone said the interior looks cheap, please do NOT confuse with American made cars that are made by robots. RR are all hand crafted. that's not cheap, that's personal.
The look of something has nothing to do with the cost of its production, look is all about perception not value.
All American-made products look cheap, unfortunately. They ruin everything, as oppose to when it is built somewhere else.
Fred Jackson I own a wraith. It is the finest car I’ve ever driven, Ahhhhh Comfort,👌👌👌🇬🇧👍👍
Thanks Thomas. That was fun to watch!
So far, this video is a work of art. 👍👍👍
+Ahmad Astriandi Ihsan thanks ! =)
Drove it as but only as passenger though with one of my clients. It is absolutely fantastic, going over speed bumps is an experience, it just swims over, highway cruising is so majestic with the long front and the spirit of ectasy reaching out like a "mile ahead of you". With the starlight roof trim and those massively thick carpets, being in this car is just such an occasion. This car and RR in general are in class of their own and it is pointless when people start to make any comparrisons. Do not compare to any Bentlys (drove them), high end Merc's (drove the new s class), Range Rover (also drove the new one) - RR just delivers completely different experience, forget sportiness or anything else that other cars do. This would be the same as going to classical opera and then complaining that the music didnt have enough drums and base. Enjoy whoever can afford it !!
+Janis Fedorovskis thanks for the interesting feedback!
Thomas, you are the best at what you do... keep it going ....
Cheers
😊
+Nebras Ayoub (Nibz) thanks man !
Great review !! One of the best car reviews I've seen on any channel. Well done !
+Evrard Beya thanks and spread the word for us!
The steering is not loose. Its just very light for better maneuvering. All the other car reviews say the Wraith has very good cornering.
Balanced and well oriented review. Absolutely loved it.
+Hassan Shahid thanks! Hope u keep supporting us
Thomas, you are dressed so well for this car! 😎 Wow! Finally someone dressing the part for this car, lol! 😎
Great review Thomas!
thanks buddy!
Very nice car. The star field ceiling is a nice touch. Thanks for reviewing it and posting!
+mthwsnd01 thanks!
I definitely want a CD-player in my car!
+qkhuve thanks for the feedback :) Seems like ppl are split in that!
+qkhuve I agree, CD's are the combination of price, quality, and portability when it comes to music
+qkhuve usb is way better, get a 32gb one. and you can make different folders for your music. Way convenient than CDs
Another great review Thomas. Really like the interior of the the Wraith over that of the Bentley's it's a little more classic and although I didn't like the exterior of the new Rolls at first, after your review I think they made the right choice keeping to the more classic lines of bygone RR's as opposed to Bentley's more modern take on a similar heritage. The interior of the demonstration car was beautiful. Had my heart set on a Silver Spur but the Wraith is worth a second look. Cheers.
+John Mackay thak you John for sharing your opinion :)
haha the umbrella. thanks thomas again a great review. You prefer the s coupe?
yeah i do
well done sir i said well done indeed
an outstanding review
You re welcome!
+Autogefühl thank you very much for the Reply
i have just one question can you please tell me about the Rolls Royce steering wheel is it made from wood and leather like the Bentley steering wheel or something else because in the Bentley it's very clear that it's made from very nice leather
Autogefühl, you haven't replied.
Please consider following information considering the use of leather.
At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We strongly believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, but what you decide in the future and what you decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself.
Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production:
th-cam.com/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/w-d-xo.html
List of practical reasons against animal skin seats:
1. animal skin seats are often an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it)
2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat
3. they are cold in winter
4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling
5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like granny’s old sofa
6. if you want leather look (because visually it sure can look very nice!) or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review th-cam.com/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/w-d-xo.html) So Tesla shows that the discussion, whether you need animal skin is basically done.
7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather)
To the environmental reasons:
1. The way the cows are held are catastrophic (see videos below)
2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for 50 % of climate emissions and thus is the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf
3. So it is not only cows that are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage.
4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body.
5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy.
6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/
More special video episodes:
1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: th-cam.com/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/w-d-xo.html
2. And another one right here: th-cam.com/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/w-d-xo.html
3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: th-cam.com/video/JipYvuDsI6s/w-d-xo.html
timecode starting 27:46
4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: th-cam.com/video/OgHs239bAnE/w-d-xo.html
5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway.
Manufacturers reactions:
We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury.
So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change!
Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!
Good review. So the bottom line is that it's not as sporty to drive as it looks.
dat interior just blew me away... lol!
Wow! Great review as always! Was it nervous to drive such a huge and EXPENSIVE car..? ☺ If I had all the money in the world, I would still go for something more discrete like a top spec M-B E-class. What about you Thomas?
+Angus MacGyver Thanks! Yeah indeed driving it in Germany, you always have to watch out left and right that you dont touch anything :) My top pick atm is still a Mercedes SL caus its comfortable, can open the top and has sporty abilities. Indeed it is that above the upper-middle class segment, you dont have advantages anymore but rather disadvantages because of the size
Rolls has incredible paint in their autos!
Thomas I'm really looking forward to when you can do a review of the new Megane and also the new Astra. I saw them at the IAA and they both looked very interesting 👍
+Angus MacGyver thanks we ll try to get those in a couple of month
The rear of the Wraith us elegant and befits the luxury elements of the car!!!!
You made my Sunday, but now, i don't want to clean my car ;-)
+lukasz rutecki haha =)
Now this is cool ! I'm not that combustion-engine-car fan anymore, but I have a weak spot for RR.
Well done review !
+Geomanb thank u!
Good review Thomas. Was there a problem with the sound or is the Wraith so big you thought you were in a cathederal and spoke quietly? As this is a car for drivng, the biggest question for UK drivers' is where to park it. Our supermarket and car park spaces are so narrow and short I have problems parking my 5 series at times. As to your question: no, I would not buy a Rolls. If money were no object, but I could only have one car, I bleive I would choose a Porsche Panamera 4S Turismo. But I do like the Range Rover Velar.
Great review and I think a Rolls-Royce suits you Thomas you will have to get a blue one!
Favourite review. Going to order one tomorrow.
+Pvulture b thanks! Heh really ? ;)
***** I bought one but then I woke up :P
Ever Since History's Got Him Dude My Boy 😘😘
My Mercedes suv weighs the same as the wraith and I feel that the weight and soft vague steering has relaxed me and my whole mood when I leave the car. I would want more responsive steering only in a sportier automobile but if you are in the market for a Rolls you might also have a sports cars for sunny Saturdays.
I Thank You For The Review Man 😊
thanks for joining!
i like that Škoda style umbrella
=)
such a beautiful machine
The car is a dream come true.
Love this channel.
thanks pal, feel free to recommend us!
Yes - i would buy it in a heart beat...so much attention to detail it makes and Audi and Mercedes (which are great cars) look simple cheap. Wow!
excelent review, neat, objective.
we really appreciate that!
Mindblowing car!
I think the Black Badge is a little more sporty. That maybe the one I will go with.
the most informative review i have ever seen :)
+Shantanu Adkar thx m8!
I love wraith because it's too much fun while driving one 😀😀😀
great for pulling caravans
Ehmmm.... NO!
Very nice review. Cheers
True to it's form. A car with the essence of luxury at every key point. No other car matches that. The 20" alloys are the best solution, as the 19" and 21" have less non-summer tires to choose from.
While I appreciate how much effort went into this car, Bentley (in my mind) is the better choice (if I had the money to buy one). While borrowing from VW Group, the Bentley is fully assembled in Britain. You can get similar upgrades to the Rolls, but pay less. And as I've always been told, "You buy a Bentley to drive and a Rolls to be driven in."
Those were the olden days and they created these convertibles/coupes specifically to break down that image.
Excellent review as always.
Thanks keep joining us!
This one sexy car, not to meantion the city is beautiful. What Country are you in @Autogefuhl?
Have a pleasant weekend, everyone and be blessed!
Wow, how did you pull this off? -Getting one of these to review..? Seems they are just throwing high class automobiles at you. One of these pulled up beside our "Uber" ride in Miami a few months ago--Very Nice.
+DeanBrandon Oh, to the car--I have a big complaint against companies such as Mercedes. Technology should be under the hood (safety systems, etc). Other than a navigation system, the interior, what the driver sees and touches, should be wood, leather, brushed metal. The controls should be more analog, not iPads. For comparison, high class watches? They are mechanical, analog wonders--high class--not a digital 1984 technological mess. Ok off the soap box:
+++ ride, interior, controls, style, class.
--- Handling, driver input, visibility, sportiness.
+DeanBrandon heh thanks - well its all about trust! :) So was that you who owned the golden Lambo?
Thomas, Thanks for all the great videos. What's the most comfortable seat of any car you have driven?
+Paul Anthony Iglesias Mercedes SUV with a suspension
+Paul Anthony Iglesias Air suspension I meant
Shocking at 11:28 Nice Lambskin Floormats but BMW Plastic Pedals???? C'mon Rolls surely you could have put some aluminum ones in there!
Great review man...
+zukisa debesha 👏
Thomas, compliment on your glasses, really cool looking. What brand and model are they?
+Robert California thanks Robert! That model was called "Skagen"
Great Videos!!!!
Welcome!
A very comprehensive review as always. Personally I prefer Bentley's. Rolls Royce's have not been the same since BMW parts were introduced so they don't seem as classy now. The star lights are amazing. Meat is murder.
+mikeymarmalade Thank you very much for the feedback my friend!
What do you think about VW Golf infotainment system in Bentley's then?
+Vasiliy Kulev Well, the Rolls as I said profits from the BMW infotainment system. With the Bentley, its the problem that it is using an old version of it and so it is very slow.
My point exactly
Thomas does his usual very professional review, always fair and objective,but i must put him straight about his ' Mary Poppins ' moment with regard to London rain.Thomas in the last 100yrs London has experienced slightly less annual rainfall than Paris,something that seems to have escaped the notice of most of you on the mainland.Regards from Blighty.
ye I think the truth was that London has less volume of rainfall but is it more spread so people have the impression it would be worse
Wow Thomas,that is almost an existential reply,but don't worry you are still my favourite car reviewer.
?
Some interesting stats here: www.quora.com/Why-does-it-rain-so-often-in-London
Yes most interesting and informative.I love rain,it adds so much character to a country and is so romantic,although at my age that is,sadly,now the least of considerations,it's the cold that i detest.
Forget the CD player, I'm surprised this thing doesn't have an 8 track player. That's the age of the customer buying this thing. If they are younger, they probably need a gun holster...errr multiple gun holsters and bullet proof glass, not an umbrella holder. ;)
Another excellent review, enjoyed it. If I had all the money etc etc? I think I'd prefer a Mercedes S 65 AMG coupe. Every bit as comfortable as the Wraith, if not more so and a lot more usable day to day.
+TheMister Mann seen our S class coupe vid ?
+Autogefühl I searched your entire list of Mercedes videos but could only find one of the S63amg. No sign of an S65amg coupe. If there is one, perhaps you'd send me a link to it. It remains my favourite " if I had the money " car. :-))
What a great video nice review keep it up
thanks join us for more!
Old school is awesome
The Spirit of Ecstacy is also known as Eleanor (not Emily).
Emily works too.
nice review..!! btw, what camera do you use?
+Andre H.K thanks! Thats Pana GH4
Nice review. Any chance you could do a hybrid cars comparison?
Cheers
+Szilágyi Gergő Thanks! Oh indeed its very hard to get several hybrid cars at once
It's such a bespoke automobile I wonder if you could specify tighter steering
Nice! It fits 3 dead body is the trunk.
Thomas.............. This IS your car. It fits YOU perfectly.
+death2pc u think so? =)
Looks like it was designed by the Forensics department for purposes of fingerprint collection..
that's funny as shit
I would think the colour Madeira refers to the Fortified Wine produced on the island rather than the island itself.
I'm only 16 years old but I can live in this car for a live
you know you're in germany when people on the street don't stare at your rolls royce at 6:35
+Elliot silva LOL
+Autogefühl its more at 6:20 for what i meant
A rolls Royce is a car that I would not want to drive where I live it makes too much attention.
Jonathan Finley Move to Arab man, drive Rollers and Ferraris for a living.
S-class AMG- =from the 2017 review seemed to be a better car and better value for your money, but the Rolls Royce is the supreme automobile status symbol ..
As a British doctor, I don't earn anything close to afford that kind of car. But if you did have that much money, how boring would life become?
As a Portuguese Doctor I couldn't even afford its wheels... :/
As a Canadian Dentist I could afford it, but I would have to live in it...
What have you specialised into?
Just a few questions: how tall are you and how long are your legs overall? What´s your shoe size? I can´t really figure out how spacious the rear of the Wraith is without those numbers...
+IkerAndoni89 1,86 m height, EU shoe size 47
So...do you think somebody over 1,9 metres would fit comfotably in the back row?
Stunning.
those matts r nuts!!! forbidden to wear shoes in such a car!!! 😀
+Fadi Lafi =)
great and conclusive review
thank you
Thx!
The "personally disturbed at how you always stop the car so that the RR cap in wheels is always turned upwards" comment
+Rudolfo Lange Neto Hehe ok let's solve the riddle now ;-) Look at 7:18 driving for example, they always keep being upright - very cool feature btw. Especially when the car is driving. Best look at it is when you are car-to-car next to a RR
Guten Tag main freund.This car is perfection.Like he comes from the new age.everything on him is perfect!!!And my freund this i telling you and all what waching this video.Listen to the feeling and buy that car and make the difference because i whont it!!!
Thomas, I found that Wraith's unladen EU weight is 2435kg, while the now previous-fen F01 BMW 760Li, on which it's based, is only 2035kg. They are about the same size - where do you think those extra 400 kilos went in the Rolls?
Anyway, with the new 7-series out, the 750 has same 4,5 0-100, yet it weighs a whopping 600kg less... And now Wraith seems plain inferior.
+ycnexu Very good question. 760? I just know of a 750Li. First of all, V8 vs V12. Then, for the chassis they used carbon fibre which saves some 130 kg or smth. Those should be the main aspects
Rolls-Royce Wraith is probably the most difficult name to say, if you're german ;)
I love the wraith
I like the exterior design but not keen on the interior with the exception of the lights in the ceiling, I much prefer the interior of the Range Rover Autobiography or S-Class Merc.
Thomas main freund.i canot bolive what i whatching.I work in germany two years and i drive old ford focus.May i tell you i dreaming that auto and i will drive that my old ford focus more than 10 years just to feel it in person what i feell whem i look at those cars.Thanks man for doing that komercial because that car need it
The color of the steering wheel doesn't seem to feet in the interior.
Ciao Thomas!
My first thought on the rear: "Bangle butt!!".
I never liked that broken lines design personally.
Do you see many Rolls' in Deutschland?
+Mario Dalla Riva Not at all. Maybe seen one car driving in Germany in my life so far or smth
If you've a got a problem with the engine and you've got to open de capó and work to repair the engine while the car is activated, can you deactivate the frontal brand figure for non bothering the work?,...
Great review - but clearly the car in no where nearly as good as the Mercedes S500 coupe
Thank you for this video
Driving that would be intoxicating too the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car is really on a whole other level, to acquire this would mean a whole different status to you, like it or not. But even if i had the money, i dont think id go for one of these, im not really a fan of a kings car :p, but hey, its incredibly gorgeous!
Where do you get these amazing luxury cars from?
