Rolls-Royce is definitely the star when it comes to the automotive world. The brand is strict, disciplined and goes to the last detail. With the presentation of the Rolls-Royce Specter, the British brand has completely opened the door to 100% electric vehicles, adding value to this new model of motors. The first test photos show what the heyday of luxury cars is.
Rolls-Royce Specter: Tram Take off your hat
No, there is definitely no turning back. Tram conquered, from beginning to end, from the cheapest to the most luxurious vehicles that meander the roads of the planet. Proof of this is the majestic display of the 100% electric Rolls-Royce Specter.
The Specter, the company's first electric car, took a long time to arrive. Not because it suffered from the Elon Cybertruck's many delays and setbacks, but because of the lesser-known fact that both Henry Royce and Charles Rolls had a documented passion for all things electric years before they started their automobile business in 1906.
Royce's first company, incorporated in 1884, invented dynamos and electric motors for cranes and patented the installation of harpoon lights. Rolls, after experiencing the first electric car called Colombiain April 1900, he declared his electric motor to be “quite silent and clean. There is no smell or vibration, and it should become very useful when stationary charging stations can be arranged.”
After 123 years, we may not yet have solved the problem of having enough stationary charging stations, but Rolls-Royce, having experimented with electric motors since 2011, is finally ready to launch its first electric vehicle. It's important to note that this isn't an early 20th century Rolls-Royce, of course. This company declared bankruptcy in 1971. This BMW.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW AG in 1998 after BMW licensed the rights to the Rolls-Royce name and logo to the airline Rolls-Royce Holdings and acquired the rights to the decoration of the cap. Ecstasy spirit and trademarks of the Rolls-Royce network of Volkswagen.
the group BMW has been manufacturing cars under the Rolls-Royce brand since 2003but this Specter, a giant four-seater super coupe, is without a doubt the finest Rolls-Royce the company has made since taking over.

This car became the brand's most aerodynamic product ever, with An impressively low drag coefficient of 0.25This is thanks in part to its tapering tail, although it is about 5.5 meters long and 2 meters wide.
a Specter is also heavy, weighing in at about 3 metric tons. With a driver on board. A 102 kWh battery paired with two motors delivers 430 kW (584 hp) and 900 Nm of torque, resulting in a 0-100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds. Range 530 km according to the WLTP standard (actual 455 km). Basically, despite its massive size and weight, the Specter is pretty fast, but more on that later.
Is the design worthy of Rolls-Royce, and the price?
The design itself is very rooted in the history of the brand. It looks like a Rolls-Royce, inside and out. In fact, only the absence of tailpipes would reveal its status as an electric car.
Exchanging information with the media, CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said that the Specter should be "a Rolls-Royce first and an electric vehicle second". Rolls-Royce wisely does not want to intimidate its loyal customer base, which the company insists is the average age of people, mostly men, in their 40s. Smaller than many might expect, but still for people who can afford it Starting price: €400,000 in Europe (excluding taxes).
Of course, these prices will always be hostage to many factors, including the already huge demand for this car. As we've mentioned in the past, Rolls-Royce's first electric car already has a waiting list until 2025.
