Those that know their ancient Greek will remember that “adamas” means indestructible or unconquerable and is related to the etymology of the word diamond. There’s a reason for that. Apart from ‘SE18 ZRK’ being as rare as diamonds – only 40 Adamas Collection Wraiths were produced – it also features 88 laboratory grown diamonds in the cabin’s clock. In short, a very special example of an already incredibly exclusive Rolls-Royce. ‘SE18 ZRK’ is still in the ownership of the original buyer making this a single keeper car and one which could have well cost close to £350,000 in 2018. Just when you thought this sublime Wraith Black Badge couldn’t get any more desirable, we can report it has covered just 13,500 miles to date. ‘SE18 ZRK’ comes with a full service history with six services to date (plus the PDI) despite the miniscule mileage and is offered here with an advisory free MOT until June 2025 and the full, original book pack.

Other notable attributes of ‘SE18 ZRK’s’ Adamas status is the very special spirit of ecstasy mascot. In this model it is crafted from 294 layers of aerospace-grade carbon with a weave angle of precisely 25 degrees. The iconic figure takes 68 hours to produce and sits on a special, titanium base. Inside the unimaginably luxurious cabin, the roof lining is studded with 1,340 fibre optic lights in the form of the “molecular structure of carbon as it becomes a diamond” instead of the “usual” Wraith starry sky arrangement.

Mechanically, ‘SE18 ZRK’ is the usual, incredible Wraith Black Badge specification. This means a twin-turbocharged 6. 6-litre V12 engine, delivering an eye-widening 624 bhp and 643 lb-ft of torque. This is not a light car, but this is sufficient for a 0-60 mph time of just 4. 3 seconds. A seven speed, imperceptibly changing seven speed automatic transmission takes care of translating this physics defying power into forward momentum.

Externally ‘SE18 ZRK’ is finished in pristine and stealthy looking, two tone Black and Morpheus Blue. Even the iconic Rolls-Royce radiator shell and vanes are finished in gloss black. That exclusive spirit of ecstasy proudly sits atop this feature reminding the lucky driver of the exclusivity of their steed. The rear hinged doors just add to the theatre and drama of this Wraith as do the 21-inch, black finished, carbon fibre composite wheels complete with 'R-R' gravity spinners. The lavish cabin is finished in black leather with distinctive accents of Cobalt Blue leather and matching stitching. Aside from the dramatic headlining treatment and that amazing diamond encrusted clock, there is a raft of exclusive and desirable attributes to relish in here. These include a multi-function steering wheel, folding infotainment screen, satellite navigation, parking sensors and cameras, and heated and ventilated electrically adjustable front seats with memory function plus much more than we can do justice to here. An incredible opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most desirable Rolls-Royce, V12 coupes it is possible to imagine.

Summary:

  • One of just 40 Wraiths ever produced in ultra-exclusive Adamas guise
  • Boasting just one owner and a mere 13,500 miles to date
  • Compete with a full Rolls-Royce service history despite the miniscule mileage
