Rolls-Royce Specter revealed as luxury brand’s first EV: Range, specs, performance – Times of India

Rolls-Royce has finally entered the ever-growing EV space with the introduction of its first fully electric car, the Specter. British luxury car maker says the dark shadow Rolls-Royce marks the beginning of a full-electric era for motor cars, and “shows that Rolls-Royce is fully suited for electrification”.
The marque has revealed that the Specter has run Rolls-Royce through the most detailed testing program ever to be ready for the most demanding buyers in the world. Specter is being subjected to a journey of more than 2.5 million kilometres, which will be completed in 2023.

Rolls-Royce is calling the Specter an ‘ultra-luxury electric super coupe,’ and promises it’s as good as an EV can get. The electric car will serve as the successor to the Phantom Coupe. Talking about the design of the Specter, BMW’s influence is clearly visible on the front-end with its split headlamp design, which takes inspiration from the latest 7-series as well as the i7.
The manufacturer has decided to retain its signature grille, which features a dual-tone design – the unmistakable Rolls-Royce in the car. The rear is no different, and if we go design-wise, it’s pretty hard to tell that the Specter is actually an EV. However, the 23-inch alloy wheel design, which is the biggest ever offered on a Rolls-Royce car, gives it away.
