rolls royce spectre ev 2024

The 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Coupe is an ambitious addition to the luxury automaker's lineup, marking the company's return to the production coupe market and the first-ever all-electric model for the brand. Dubbed as a spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe, the Spectre has been built on the "Architecture of Luxury" platform shared by models like the Phantom, Cullinan, and Ghost. This new model also previews "Rolls-Royce 3.0" as the company moves towards an all-electric portfolio by 2030.
Under the hood, the Spectre is powered by a dual-motor electric powertrain that delivers a formidable 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. With this much power on tap, the 6559-pound coupe can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. While this may not match the lightning-fast acceleration of a Tesla Model S Plaid, it's important to remember that Spectre's brand ethos is centered around a refined and quiet cruising experience. To ensure a smooth ride, the Spectre has an adaptive suspension system and ample sound-deadening material to keep the cabin whisper-quiet.
While Rolls-Royce has yet to reveal the specifics of the Spectre's battery, the company estimates a driving range of around 260 miles on a single charge. Fast-charging capability is also likely to be included. Still, many Spectre owners will probably opt to install a charging system at their residence, eliminating the need to wait at public charging stations.
The Spectre's interior is designed to accommodate four passengers, with bucket seats in both rows. The cabin is lavish and opulent, reminiscent of the current Rolls-Royce interiors, but with several unique design elements specific to the Spectre. For instance, the door panels are adorned with tiny LED lights that sparkle in the area surrounding the armrests. The Spectre is also expected to be available with a wide range of customization options and material choices.
The Spectre is set to debut by the end of 2023, with deliveries to the first customers expected soon after. It represents a bold move for the automaker, ushering in a new era of electrified luxury vehicles.
