A black 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith with a screaming orange interior is currently crossing the block in a no-reserve auction on Cars & Bids, and bidding has already sailed past six figures with two days still left on the clock. The coupe pairs Rolls-Royce's signature rear-hinged doors with a full custom treatment inside and out, making it one of the more attention-grabbing Wraiths to hit the auction site this year.
Introduced in 2013 and built through 2023, the Wraith was Rolls-Royce's answer to buyers who wanted opulence without giving up outright speed. Under that long hood sits a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 rated at 624 horsepower and 642 lb-ft of torque, enough to send a car weighing close to three tons through the 0-60 sprint in the low four-second range, numbers that still hold up against plenty of modern performance coupes.
This particular example shows roughly 16,500 miles and comes loaded with air suspension featuring variable damping, soft-close coach doors, heated and massaging front seats, an aerial-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, and night vision. The seller also added a set of 22-inch Forgiato wheels, orange-painted brake calipers and Rolls-Royce emblems, a starlight headliner, and matching starlight door panels to play off that orange leather. One sharp-eyed commenter on the listing pointed out that the speaker grilles suggest the upgraded Bespoke audio system, though the car actually carries the standard setup, a reminder that options on modified cars are always worth double-checking before bidding.
The bigger story here is the paper trail. According to the Carfax attached to the listing, this Wraith was sideswiped in June 2024 and, separately, was later flagged with recorded water damage; an insurer subsequently totaled the car, and it received a junk title in Florida before being issued a salvage and flood-damage title in Kentucky. It is now being sold on a rebuilt title out of New Jersey. None of that shows up in photos of that glowing orange cabin, which is exactly why branded-title history matters so much on auctions like this one. For a broader rundown of what to check before placing a bid on any listing, our guide on how to read a car auction listing is worth a look.
It is also worth remembering that insuring a branded-title car is not as simple as insuring a clean-title one; our breakdown of collector car insurance basics covers how that coverage differs and why it matters for a car like this.
Rolls-Royce values are a study in contrasts. Hagerty's valuation tools track the brand's classic era closely, with published price guides for cars like the Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow, and Corniche, but the modern, BMW-era Wraith has not yet entered that price guide the way older Rolls-Royces have. That is typical for a car still working through its ordinary depreciation curve rather than an established collectible, and a rebuilt title only accelerates that slide. Motorious has tracked similar swings elsewhere in the market, including Hagerty's recent double-digit drop in Demon 170 values and a broader look at why some muscle car values climbed while others stalled, both useful context for anyone trying to figure out what a modified, branded-title car like this Wraith is really worth.
This is not the only eye-catching no-reserve build making noise on Cars & Bids recently; an 850-horsepower Hennessey Mustang Dark Horse drew plenty of attention on the platform as well, part of a growing trend of heavily personalized modern performance cars finding their way into no-reserve auctions.
Bidding on this Wraith stood at $100,500 across 14 bids at the time of writing, with the no-reserve auction set to end August 28 at 1:33 p.m. ET. Given the car's history, anyone considering a bid should read through the full vehicle history report and equipment list on the listing page before getting swept up in that orange interior.
