Rolls-Royce Wraith Regetta
An ex-Disney executive and imaginative
designer has rendered a bespoke variant of the Rolls-Royce Wraith which will
soon hit the market.
Penned by Eddie Sotto, the Wraith
'Regatta' has been inspired by an US$ 83 million private jet Sotto is planning to
have built, dubbed the Skyacht One. The Wraith Regetta has been designed as a
road-going extension of that jet, promising to transfer many of its luxuries
onto the street.
According to Sotto himself, “I wanted to
bring a car up to the level of the Skyacht aircraft. It’s not a reproduction of
a Rolls-Royce, but it’s a return to that handmade finish and Old World
craftsmanship you’d expect in a car like that. Exposed joinery and
craftsmanship like this are so rare in today’s world.”
From the outside, the Wraith Regetta can
be differentiated from a run-of-the-mill example thanks to the installation of
mahogany across the hood, roof and the rear decklid. Complementing the mahogany
is satin-finished aluminum trim and a set of silver wheels with subtle red and
gold accents.
The interior continues the opulent theme
with brass inlays, a host of additional wooden elements and even a number of
controls with various jewels within.
Sotto has enlisted the help of Aria
Group to bring the Regetta to the street. Customers will hand over their Wraith
to the fabrication firm who will charge over US$ 700,000 for the modifications.
