Limited to 50 vehicles, the Rolls-Royce Wraith Eagle VIII celebrates the pivotal first transatlantic flight in 1919 by Alcock and Brown, even preceding Lindbergh. That airplane was powered by twin Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines. Fittingly, this car pays homage to that historic flight and especially the nighttime aspect of it, with a two-tone Gunmetal and Selby Grey color scheme, black grille vanes, and a polished shadow wheel finish.

There are callbacks to that century-old achievement throughout the car, including a brass plaque with a famous Winston Churchill quote citing the engine’s performance, metalized gold eucalyptus wood inlays in the interior to depict the nighttime image of the Earth as seen from the sky, and a starlight headliner with 1,183 fibers that show the celestial sky arrangement in 1919. The clock has a green glow at night, a nod to the plane’s frozen instrument panel at high altitude, emitting only a similarly faint green glow. In other words, you’ll feel like you’re flying across the Atlantic at nighttime in 1919.
