The Rolls Royce Wraith is a car that is never quite sat well with me. I get that Rolls Royce cars look ostentatious and pricey, because that’s precisely what they are. But the Wraith’s back end looked like they were trying to combine a Bentley Continental with their own old-school Phantom V. The results looked, well, like they didn’t fit the rest of the car.

And then today I s aw !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet constructing a series of Wraith shooting brakes. And this, yes, this I like.

“ coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet”

You know with a name like that, it’s going to cost a pretty penny. Unlike, say, a name like “Hank’s Panel Beating and Sawzall” or “MacGuffin’s Machine Works and Sewage Removal”.

Those last two solely make any car have a pickup bed.

Nah that thing is ugly, rear is all sorts of fucky.

That looks more like a hearse than anything. Not enough rear side window, needs 2 more doors, and you can't convince me that rear hatch and set up isn't for a casket.

To be honest, I wouldn’t mind having my casket transported in this car.

Although, I’d be dead in that scenario , so I guess it wouldn’t matter.

My immediate reaction too. How much better could you do than having that carry your loved one to the cemetery?

I dunno, the proportions are pretty close to the P1800ES , and tbh a Rolls Royce is just a hearse sedan to begin with so I don’t think there’s much to make it less hearse-like.

As for me, I say not hearse- like enough! I want the ultimate wagon:
