The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized luxury electric grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The first deliveries of the car were made in the last quarter of 2023.
It is Rolls-Royce's first electric vehicle (EV) and rides on the same platform as the Phantom and Cullinan. [3] [4]
The Rolls-Royce Spectre has an EPA range from 264 miles (425 km), [2] and WLTP range of 321 miles (517 km). [5] It has a drag coefficient of 0.25, [5] making it the most aerodynamic shape Rolls-Royce ever created.
The Spectre has a redesigned Spirit of Ecstasy; the flowing robes were reshaped for a realistic look, with a lower and more dynamic stance, which makes her more aerodynamic. The new Spirit of Ecstasy stands 83 mm (3.3 in) tall, compared to her predecessor's 100 mm (3.9 in). [6] This brings her much closer to the original drawings made in the early years of the 20th century. [7] This iteration of the Spirit of Ecstasy will appear on all future models succeeding the Spectre. [8]
In September 2021, Rolls-Royce announced the Spectre and confirmed that testing had commenced. [8] On 18 October 2022, the marque unveiled the Spectre through its social media channels. The Spectre follows a longtime tradition at Rolls-Royce of giving their models supernatural monikers. [8]
The Spectre was formally launched at Napa Valley, California in 2023. [9] [10] Emma Begley, Rolls-Royce Director of Global Communications explained that the reasoning for the location was California's status as a luxury hub, and the U.S. being the largest market for Rolls Royce. [9] She notes that Napa was also a symbolic choice: "This is the place where history and the old order of the wine world have been rewritten... you can make a fabulous Rolls-Royce without our V12 in front of it.
