Rolls-Royce Wraith Kryptos and the cipher within
Through one of the spookiest car reveals car reveals we have ever witnessed, Rolls-Royce has revealed a new limited edition Wraith Kryptos. There will only be 50 units of the British marque’s coupe that each has a cryptic message hidden within the cars design details. It’s very much for the car collector who enjoys as Rolls-Royce would put it, “a labyrinth of complex ciphers in (the car’s) beguiling façade.”
The cryptic design of the Rolls-Royce Wraith Kryptos.
What originally appears to be just a cyber inspired design actually hides “an experience that leads to an enlightening conclusion” says Rolls-Royce which has already peaked all of our interests. The message stars on the outside, hidden under the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine.
On the outside, there are some other non-cryptic details we enjoy. The new Kryptos Green colour details the bumpers, side skirts and the alloy wheels, making this an even more stunning car to look at.
Inside we are met with the dual-tone colour scheme of their Selby Grey or Anthracite with the bespoke Kyrptos Green trim. More of the cipher is hidden here, mostly on the black metal fascia. Elements of the cipher are embroidered onto the headrest too.
Looking up from inside this Rolls-Royce Wraith Kryptos and you will see the stunning data-stream inspired overhead lights, further adding to the Matrix feel of this car. Every part of it feels like a wonder and makes you think, “what does that mean.”
The answer to the cipher is locked away.
As of right now, only 2 people know the answer to the Wraith Kryptos code. They are the Bespoke designer, Katrin Lehmann, who is responsible for all of this mystery, and chief executive Torsten Müller-Ötvös. Apparently, they keep the answer hidden in a safe located at the Goodwood headquarters.
All Rolls-Royce Wraith Kryptos owners are able to submit their answers to the code through the members-only app called Whispers. It’s all very secret and cryptic while maintaining a very attractive design.
