Rolls-Royce has always been synonymous with luxury and refinement, and the brand's upcoming all-electric vehicle, the Spectre, is set to take this to a whole new level. Charles Stewart Rolls, one of the founders of the company, recognized the potential of electric cars as early as 1900 when he said, "The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration." However, it has taken over 120 years for the company to develop an electric powertrain that is as smooth and silent as that of a modern electric car such as a Nissan Leaf or Tesla Model X.
The Spectre is the first all-electric vehicle from Rolls-Royce, and it is set to be a game-changer for the company. The car is a full-size luxury coupe that will feature a range of up to 320 miles on a single charge, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. The car will also feature a massive 23-inch diameter wheels, and an unladen weight of 2,975 kilograms.
One of the key features of the Spectre is its design, which is heavily influenced by the Greek temple grille and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot that has become synonymous with Rolls-Royce. The grille is the widest ever on a Rolls-Royce, and is largely impervious to air, as there is no V12 to cool. The priority is reducing turbulent drag, and the grille is downlit at night for extra rolling theatre. The car's headlights have also been redesigned, and feature split blades that are permanently lit.
The Spectre is set to be a celebration of the beginning of a new era for Rolls-Royce, and the company has not compromised on any aspect of the car. The car is built using the latest technology and features, and is designed to be easy to use and interactive. The car also features a new interpretation of the image of Eleanor Thornton, leaning more forward into the breeze.
In conclusion, the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre is set to be a game-changer for the company, and will be a true testament to Charles Stewart Rolls's vision from more than a century ago. The car is set to be a celebration of the beginning of a new era for Rolls-Royce, and will feature the latest technology and features, as well as a design that is heavily influenced by the Greek temple grille and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot that has become synonymous with Rolls-Royce. The Spectre is set to be a fabulously decadent thing, and we can't wait to see it on the road.
