Rolls-Royce has announced that its latest product, the Spectre, will be a two-door coupe that is fully electric. The Rolls-Royce Spectre sits on the same Rolls Architecture of Luxury as the existing range. The automaker says it will be on sale by the end of 2023—and that all Rolls-Royce vehicles will be electric by the decade's end.
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized electric luxury car manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The first deliveries of the car will arrive in Q4 2023. It will be Rolls-Royce's first EV and will ride on the same platform as the Phantom and Cullinan.
Intuitive, perceptive, and sharp, Spectre is the most intelligent Rolls-Royce the marque has ever envisioned. With 141,200 sender-receiver functions, 7 kilometers of cabling, and over 25,000 sub-functions, it has a brain of its own able to process complex data and exchange detailed information with unparalleled ease.
The spiritual successor to the out-of-production Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, the Spectre's scale compares more to a Lincoln Navigator than a Porsche Taycan. It will ride on 23-inch wheels. The coupe features a very high beltline with a thin and sleek greenhouse, a raked-back windshield, and a fastback profile, similar to the Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Arrow.
As has been standard in all Rolls-Royce since 2007, the Rolls-Royce Spectre features the 'Starlight headliner,' thousands of LEDs built into the roof of the car that look like a sea of stars above you when inside the vehicle – all placed by hand and programmed to include a random display of shooting stars amongst the astral display.
Despite its size and weight (6559 pounds), it does 0–60 mph in 4.4 seconds and has a limited top speed of 155 mph.
Rolls-Royce Spectre positions Rolls-Royce's entrance into the electric world as a stamp of leadership — and the beginning of an era that will see the entire model portfolio electrified by 2030. Its visionary design reinvents timeless iconography, setting a clear path toward the marque's first all-electric decade.
