In 1938, Rolls-Royce introduced an entirely new and smaller design named the Wraith. Some consider it to be the quietest Rolls-Royce ever built. Not many were built as the gathering clouds of war cast a somber note of its future. The Wraith was only built for two years and today is one of the rarest of all Rolls-Royces.
