This is a revolution. Rolls Royce today unveils the Spectre coupe, its first 100% electric model. A real change in direction, without compromising luxury and performance. Or at least on paper.
Even the “untouchable” brands are compelled to adapt to the evolution of the automotive market and the customer’s desire to better respect the environment. Take Rolls Royce, for instance. The iconic 90° V8 of 6750 cc was discontinued in 2020 and is now considered a national treasure in England, but the Crewe firm continues to offer high-performance thermal engines (and with high CO2 emissions). The Rolls Royce Spectre is built on an aluminum Architecture of Luxury platform, designed from the outset to accommodate electric motors.
Electric Armament
The new Rolls Royce Spectre switches software and adopts an electric motor of 430 kW (577 hp nonetheless), with a peak torque of 900 Nm. The minimum according to Rolls Royce, especially considering its curb weight of 2,975 kg! The integrated battery weighs about 700 kg and has a capacity close to 120 kWh. The Rolls Royce Spectre could thus travel up to 520 km under WLTP standards, with a mixed consumption of 21.5 kWh/100 km. Lastly, pure performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
To recharge their Rolls, lucky customers will be able to benefit from charging up to 195 kW of power.
Luxury, but Showy
The interior is worth its weight in gold. Starting with its accessibility, made easier thanks to “suicide” doors. Of course, customers will have the full freedom to customize the dashboard according to their preferences. For the launch model, Rolls Royce has chosen a unique color combination that mixes white, yellow, and fuchsia. With the certainty that the assembly and finish will be top-notch!
The Rolls Royce Spectre is expected to be available in late 2023 at a price slightly above €300,000. Of course, no ecological bonus is planned at this luxury level, but at least it will not suffer from any eco-tax!
