Rolls-Royce Spectre

The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized luxury electric grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The first deliveries of the car were made in the last quarter of 2023.

It is Rolls-Royce's first electric vehicle (EV) and rides on the same platform as the Phantom and Cullinan.

Overview
The Rolls-Royce Spectre has an EPA range from 264 mi, and WLTP range of 321 mi. It has a drag coefficient of 0.25, making it the most aerodynamic shape Rolls-Royce ever created.

The Spectre has a redesigned Spirit of Ecstasy; the flowing robes were reshaped for a realistic look, with a lower and more dynamic stance, which makes her more aerodynamic. The new Spirit of Ecstasy stands 83 mm tall, compared to her predecessor's 100 mm. This brings her much closer to the original drawings made in the early years of the 20th century. This iteration of the Spirit of Ecstasy will appear on all future models succeeding the Spectre.

History
In September 2021, Rolls-Royce announced the Spectre and confirmed that testing had commenced. On 18 October 2022, the marque unveiled the Spectre through its social media channels. The Spectre follows a longtime tradition at Rolls-Royce of giving their models supernatural monikers.

The Spectre was formally launched at Napa Valley, California in 2023. Emma Begley, Rolls-Royce Director of Global Communications explained that the reasoning for the location was California's status as a luxury hub, and the U.S. being the largest market for Rolls Royce. She notes that Napa was also a symbolic choice: "This is the place where history and the old order of the wine world have been rewritten... you can make a fabulous Rolls-Royce without our V12 in front of it.
