What to know about the Rolls-Royce Spectre
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a two-door, four-seat luxury grand tourer built around the British marque’s ultra-luxury philosophy.
It uses a 102 kWh battery and a dual-motor electric powertrain capable of producing about 577 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque, giving the large luxury coupe considerable performance despite its focus on comfort.
The electric coupe can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Its electric range varies depending on specification and testing conditions, with the earlier Spectre capable of up to about 530 kilometres under WLTP testing.
The car uses all-wheel drive and measures more than 5.4 metres in length, underscoring its imposing road presence despite its two-door coupe configuration.
The Spectre also carries several design cues associated with Rolls-Royce, including the Spirit of Ecstasy, its imposing grille and an interior that can be heavily personalised through the marque’s bespoke programme.
