Rolls-Royce Spectre

Price: Rolls-Royce Spectre (2023) from around 390,000 euros
The first electric car with the “Spirit of Ecstasy” on the front is called Rolls-Royce Spectre (2023). Technically closely related to the Phantom on the one hand and the BMW i7 on the other and positioned as the successor to the previous Phantom Coupé, the price of the ultimate luxury coupé with a wheelbase of a proud 3.21 meters is around 389,000 euros (as of July 2023). With the launch of e-mobility, the manufacturer is linking the vision of brand founder Charles Rolls, who saw the electric motor as the ideal drive for luxury vehicles as early as 1900, as it is quiet, clean and vibration-free. According to the car manufacturer, interest in electrically powered vehicles is also very high among Rolls-Royce customers. “Spectre” is a ghost that floats silently across the boundaries of this world and the hereafter.

Drive: 430 kW & 520 km range
What an apt image for the electric drive, which consists of two electric motors – one for each axle. They produce almost 430 kW (585 hp) and deliver up to 900 Newton meters of maximum torque, so that the Spectre, despite its kerb weight of just under three tons, accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and is only likely to slow down again at 250 km/h. The energy for this is supplied by a battery with an estimated 105.2 kWh, which will give the Rolls-Royce Spectre (2023) a range of up to 520 kilometers.

Exterior: 830 hours wind tunnel for cW value 0.25
Because lightweight construction was not a serious option with all this luxury, the British luxury brand smoothed out the design of the Rolls-Royce Spectre (2023) in the wind tunnel: The radiator figure alone had to endure 830 hours of flow tests and was smoothed so that its billowing cape now has even fewer wrinkles. With a no less elaborately optimized radiator grille and a flowing rear end, the approximately 5.50-metre-long two-door model achieves a drag coefficient of 0.25 – the most streamlined Rolls-Royce in the company’s history to date.
