When it comes to making a statement about how successful you are, there is no brand that shouts “I’ve made it!” more emphatically than Rolls-Royce.

If that’s all you want from your car, look no further. The firm has expanded its range in recent years, with the top-of-the-range Phantom saloon being joined by the Cullinan SUV, and other models including the Wraith and Ghost.

Whichever way you go, if you have to ask how much it costs, the chances are you can’t afford it. And, even then, the base price is unlikely to be what you end up spending, such is the list of alluring options on offer.

It’s also a moot point whether the cars themselves – rather than the image they portray – represents the very best way to spend your money. What Car?’s testers rate all of them positively but reckon that – if you’re buying with your head rather than your heart – there are other cars that you should also consider.

WRAITH

Another teaser image of the Rolls-Royce Wraith has been revealed ahead of the car's unveiling at the Geneva motor show next month. This second image is in heavy shadow and shows the rear of the hand-built luxury coupe. The Wraiths wide wheelarches and muscular flank can be seen, as can chrome detailing on the boot and the twin exhausts.

The first image, released last month, showed that the Wraith has a more sloping roofline than the Ghost saloon and thick chrome detailing around the windows. Rolls-Royce's two-door version of the Ghost saloon is expected to be powered by a 600bhp 6.6-litre V12 engine. The Wraith will be a rival to Bentleys Continental GT and is likely to cost in excess of 220,000 when it goes on sale at the end of the year. <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/make/rolls-royce"></a> <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/make/rolls-royce">Rolls-Royce reviews &gt;&gt;</a><a href="https://plus.google.com/114627735511442155300?rel=">By Matthew Burrow</a>
