News Synopsis

The Spectre is the first Electric Car produced by the ultra-luxury automaker Rolls-Royce. The new vehicle will have a range of more than 500 kilometres and be fully equipped with luxury amenities. Rolls Royce previously declared that by 2030, the entirety of its lineup will be electric. This is the initial step in carrying out that resolution.

Rolls-Royce is putting the new electric automobile through rigorous testing. A journey covering more than 2.5 million kilometres is being conducted upon Spectre. By 2023, the project will be completed.

The biggest grille ever given to a Rolls-Royce is in the middle of the split headlights on the Rolls-Royce Spectre. The absence of air vents at the front allowed for this to happen.

To improve aerodynamics, the Pantheon grille's vanes have been redesigned to have a smoother section and a flusher fit.

The grille of the car is finished in stainless steel and has a Spirit of Ecstasy figurine with aerodynamic improvements. According to the company, this design was the result of 830 hours' worth of design modelling and wind tunnel testing. The grille improves the car's drag coefficient, which makes Spectre Rolls-most Royce's aerodynamic vehicle ever with a drag coefficient of under 0.25cd.

The upward sweep toward the front of this "waft line," which serves as a symbol of the "magic carpet ride," is inspired by the bow of an accelerating power boat.

The most remarkable feature of the silhouette is Spectre's fastback, which is reminiscent of some of history's most iconic cars and watercraft. The biggest single-body panel ever created for a Rolls-Royce, which stretches from the A-pillar to the luggage compartment, is where the tail lamps are placed, following the roofline back. The jewel-like vertical tail lamps are colourless on their own to be neutral in preparation for the plethora of colourways that the customer would choose during the commissioning phase.

According to Rolls-Royce, the Spectre is the first two-door coupé in production to have 23-inch wheels in almost a decade.
