Rolls-Royce is about to discontinue the Wraith and Dawn models.

These are the two remaining two-door luxury models in the Rolls-Royce product range.

On March 25th, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, confirmed the suspension of orders for the Wraith and Dawn in all markets worldwide.

Previously, at the end of 2021, the British automaker's two-door models were discontinued in the US market because they did not meet certain regulations.

According to the magazine CoachThe production lines for these two models at the Goodwood plant in England will continue operating until early 2023 to fulfill customer orders.

According to Rolls-Royce, the Wraith and Dawn will not have direct replacements after production is discontinued. Torsten Müller-Ötvös acknowledged that the all-electric Spectre, expected to launch in late 2023, will take on the role of a two-door model in the company's future product range. However, Rolls-Royce views the Spectre as a replacement for the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe rather than the Wraith.

First launched in 2013, the Rolls-Royce Wraith was developed based on the chassis of its "older brother," the Ghost. It was also the fastest model from the Rolls-Royce brand at the time.
