The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized luxury electric grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The Spectre was formally launched in Napa Valley, California in 2023.[6][7] 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.[8][9]
The Rolls-Royce Spectre has an EPA range of 264 miles (425 km),[5] and WLTP range of 321 miles (517 km).[10] It has a drag coefficient of 0.25,[10] making it the most aerodynamic production model Rolls-Royce has ever built.
The Spectre has a redesigned version of Rolls-Royce's signature bonnet ornament, the Spirit of Ecstasy. Rolls Royces says the flowing robes of the ornament were reshaped to be more realistic and are lower, making the ornament more aerodynamic. The new ornament stands 83 mm (3.3 in) tall, compared to the predecessor's 100 mm (3.9 in),[11] and bringing it closer to the earlier examples.[12] The redesigned ornament will appear on future Rolls Royce models.[13]
