Rolls-Royce Spectre
In the changing automotive world, even the most traditional of luxury brands is taking the step into the electric future. The Rolls-Royce Spectre, the first fully electric model from the British luxury brand, heralds a new era – while remaining remarkably true to its roots.
The electric revolution in Goodwood
Charles Rolls would have been delighted: As early as 1900, the co-founder of the brand predicted that electric drives would be the future. 123 years later, his vision becomes reality. The Spectre combines classic Rolls-Royce virtues with forward-looking technology.
Majestic presence
With a length of 5.45 meters and a width of 2.02 meters, the Spectre is an imposing sight. The characteristic Pantheon grille has been aerodynamically optimized and elegantly illuminated. It is wider than ever before and symbolizes the dawn of a new era without breaking with tradition.
Power of a king
Two electric motors mobilize an impressive 585 hp (430 kW) and a maximum torque of 900 Newton meters. Despite weighing nearly 3 tons, the Spectre accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds – majestically and almost silently.
Range and charging
With a battery capacity of 102 kWh, the Spectre enables a WLTP range of up to 520 kilometers. At fast charging stations, it charges at up to 195 kW, allowing for about 320 kilometers of range to be replenished in 30 minutes.
Luxury of the highest class
In the interior, the Spectre combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. The “Starlight” headlining has been expanded to include illuminated door panels, consisting of 4,796 gently glowing “stars”. The digital cockpit integrates seamlessly into the luxurious ambiance.
Conclusion
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is more than just an automobile – it’s a statement. It proves that the transition to electric mobility can succeed even in the absolute luxury class, without compromising on comfort, performance, or prestige. With a base price of about 400,000 euros, it remains reserved for its exclusive clientele.
The Spectre marks the beginning of a new era for Rolls-Royce. By 2030, the brand aims to completely switch to electric drives. If the upcoming models follow the example of the Spectre, this transition should be accomplished elegantly and befittingly.
The electrified future of luxury has begun – and it drives quieter than ever.
