The last Rolls-Royce model to be produced with a V8 engine was the Rolls-Royce Wraith. This luxury coupe, which debuted in 2013, featured a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivered impressive performance while maintaining the brand's signature refinement and smoothness.

The Wraith was powered by this V8 engine until its production ended in 2020. Following the end of the Wraith's production, Rolls-Royce transitioned to its newer models, including the Rolls-Royce Ghost and the Phantom, which feature the more powerful V12 engines.

In more recent times, Rolls-Royce has moved toward electric powertrains, with the Spectre marking the brand's first fully electric vehicle, signaling a shift away from internal combustion engines.
