Rolls-Royce Wraith Edition is coming out this 2017. Four designs have just been revealed while there are still five more designs to look forward to in the coming days.

Rolls-Royce has launched a project dubbed "Inspired by British Music." The project is a collaboration of the luxurious brand with legendary British artists to create designs of the upcoming nine Wraith models.

The nine new models of the Rolls-Royce Wraith will boast of the unique designs to be done by the brand's bespoke design experts together with popular musicians in Britain. Aside from the special design, the project also aims to donate to the chosen charities of the artists involved.

The first four Rolls-Royce Wraiths have just been revealed at the Sanderson Hotel in London. Two Wraith designs were done in partnership with The Who frontman and lead vocalist Roger Daltrey. Whereas, The Kinks' Sir Ray Davies created the third design and the fourth unveiled design was developed by Producer, songwriter Giles Martin.

Roger Daltrey's Wraith designs are no ordinary concepts. The lead vocalist got its inspiration from its band's iconography for the first design, while the other design reflects their 1969 album "Tommy."

The "Tommy" inspired Wraith design depicts the vinyl sleeve cover of the band's 1969 album. The design was especially made which features a painted bonnet hand.

Moreover, fans of the hit "Tommy" album will reminisce their special moments associated with the album as the Wraith version is a complete representation of the album. The "Tommy" Wraith also contains designs symbolizing several songs of the album which were distributed throughout the car.

On the other hand, Giles Martin's design on the Wraith car honors his father Sir George Martin who is known as the "fifth Beatle" for his participation on the first hits of the famous band. In fact, the headrests carry the signature of Sir George Martin.

Meanwhile, the cars designed by Sir Ray Davies also include inspirations representing the songs of his band. Lyrics of the popular "Sunny Afternoon" were engraved on the doors' umbrellas while the hit songs "Shangri-la" and "Drivin" can be spotted on the door-flights.

Watch out for our next report when the remaining designs for the upcoming Rolls-Royce Wraith collection are unveiled.
