THE NEW AGE OF ELECTRIC

Rolls-Royce embarks on a new chapter with its first fully electric model, Spectre

IN 1900, British motoring pioneer Charles Rolls shared his predictions and perspectives on electric cars. In a magazine, he declared that an electric car would be: “Perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration. They should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged.”

Fast forward to the 2020s, over a century since that statement, Rolls’ vision finally turned into reality with the help of Rolls-Royce, the luxury carmaker founded by himself and Henry Royce.

Spectre is the first fully electric car by Rolls-Royce, representing an entirely new range of vehicles. With its fully electric power train and Decentralised Intelligence System, the electric marque excels in providing an all-rounded experience in terms of functionality, luxury and style. Spectre is also the first by Rolls-Royce to be equipped with a new engine, the Rolls-Royce 3.0.

To ensure that the car embodies the Rolls-Royce experience, Spectre features several marvels in engineering including instant torque, silent running and the sense of imperceptible gear shifts.
