Rolls-Royce Wraith value and depreciation
Known for the most powerful pre-ev rolls-royce.
Depreciation curve
We class the Rolls-Royce Wraith as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 52% after three years and 35% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

The Wraith fastback coupe sold in South Africa from 2014 until the nameplate was retired around 2023. Its V12 made it the most powerful Rolls-Royce of its era and it drew a younger buyer than the sedans. Used examples appear regularly on the local exotic market.
