Check out the new "Wraith Inspired By Music"

Music is about youth, vibrancy and rebellion and that's something that seems at odds with Rolls-Royce cars which are normally the province of stuffed shirts the world over.

Regardless, the company feels that it needs to reach out to music-loving billionaires, which is why it's launching the Rolls-Royce Wraith Inspired By Music edition.

Basically, the existing Wraith has been given a custom stereo that, it's claimed, will turn your car into "the most exclusive music venue" on the highway. Considering that a base model Wraith can cost more than $360,000, I'd say that's a fair claim to make.

According to Engadget, Rolls-Royce is boasting that its bespoke audio setup has been in development for two years and was crafted by a team of "the world's very best automotive audio engineers."

The result is a 1,300W, 18 channel system with two big bass speakers, seven tweeters and seven mid-rangers around the cabin. In addition, two speakers are placed at ear level, so that you can avoid hearing your chatty chauffeur on the way to the airport.

If that wasn't geeky enough, microphones inside and outside the car monitor the ambient audio, constantly modifying the sound settings to ensure that you can't hear the screams of the poor.
