Luxury brands are also facing the energy transition, and among them is Rolls-Roycewhich in 2021 announced the production of a new car, 100% electric, called Specter. Now, a few months later, and with still a few months before deliveries, we discover several more details about a model destined to make history. Rolls-Royce, in fact, will become an exclusively electric brand.

The Specter shares the platform with another model of the house, the Phantom, with a length of 5,453 meters, a width of 2,080 and a height of 1,559, but with a aerodynamic coefficient of 0.25unprecedented for Rolls-Royce.

The powertrain for now credited with 430 kW of power, 900 Nm of torqueand enough battery for 520 km of autonomy. However, the car is still being tested, and some value may undergo changes. Speaking of tests, the house particularly emphasizes this aspect, communicating that the pre-production cars are facing the most severe program ever implemented, for a total of 2.5 million km, equivalent to 400 years of useand on real roads.

The battery pack provided by Samsungwhile the powerplant could be a derivation of the electric BMW 7 series. Despite the external supply of key components, Rolls-Royce is confident that the Specter will be an incredibly original product, and that “will set a precedent for the ultra-luxury sector“The first deliveries are scheduled for the last quarter of 2023, with a price that oscillates around 400,000 eurosfor no more than 3,000-5,000 specimens per year.
