Luxury automaker Rolls-Royce has unveiled its first all-electric car, the Specter. Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, reminded once again that they will gradually say goodbye to gasoline models and that they will produce only electric cars after 2030.
Specter, which is expected to be positioned between Cullinan and Phantom in terms of pricing, will be delivered to its first owners at the end of 2023.
Rolls-Royce Specter features
- Number of doors / seats: 2 doors / 4 seats
- Vehicle length: 5453 mm / 214,685 inches
- Vehicle width: 2080 mm / 81,889 inches
- Vehicle height: (unladen) 1559 mm / 61,377 inches
- Wheelbase: 3210 mm / 126,378 inches
- Turning diameter: 12.7 m
- Curb weight: 2975 kg
Why doesn’t range and performance write? Because as we enter the final test phase, which will be completed in the second quarter of 2023, the power, acceleration and range figures are still being developed. According to preliminary data, Specter is expected to have a range of 520 kilometers.
It offers 900Nm of torque from the WLTP and 430kW powertrain. The vehicle is expected to reach 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds.
Standing out with 830 hours of design modeling and the largest Pantheon grille ever produced in a Rolls-Royce, the vehicle has a drag coefficient of 0.25. In this context, Specter seems to be Rolls-Royce’s most aerodynamically efficient car.
Being the first production two-door coupé to be equipped with 23-inch wheels in almost 100 years, the interior of the vehicle is presented with 5,876 stars, elegantly illuminated star doors called Starlight Doors. The night theme continues with Specter’s illuminated dashboard called Illuminated Fascia.
Rolls-Royce engineers have made the architecture 30 percent stiffer than any previous Rolls-Royce, thanks to aluminum sections and the integration of the battery into the automobile structure. The battery was placed on the vehicle floor, creating a conduit for the electrical and air conditioning installation.
The infrastructure created not only creates a flat floor profile, but also provides a low seating position and 700-pound sound insulation. Rolls-Royce has also made great strides in digital engineering, and with Specter, it has benefited from an extraordinary ‘Decentralized Intelligence’ system that can continuously receive and process information from the car’s signal that manages an unprecedented number of functions.
These new signals are tuned and studied by the most experienced Rolls-Royce engineers during a test program spanning 2.5 million kilometers. Rolls-Royce engineers use this huge volume of data to process and take advantage of the accuracy of direct engine-to-wheel power distribution.
Engineers refer to the experience offered by Specter as “High-definition Rolls-Royce” because of the speed.
