The Fully Electric Spectre by Rolls Royce Sets a New Standard for Automobile Greatness

Fully Electric Spectre by Rolls Royce 

Charles Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce, predicted an electric future for the automobile in 1900. Having obtained an electric vehicle dubbed The Columbia Electric Carriage, he sensed its potential as a clean, quiet alternative to the internal combustion engine — provided there was the infrastructure to support it. Today, more than 120 years after its establishment, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars must fulfil the vision of its founder.

Rolls-Royce introduces Spectre, the brand's first fully-electric automobile.

Spectre is a fulfilled prophesy, a promise upheld, and a mission accomplished.

Spectre "proves how well-suited Rolls-Royce is to electrification."

Spectre marks the beginning of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars' all-electric era.

Built on Rolls-all-aluminum Royce's Architecture of Luxury, Spectre employs the latest SPIRIT software architecture with complete Whispers integration.

More details

Rolls-all-electric Royce's supercar Spectre continues its 2.5 million kilometre testing programme — the most stringent testing programme ever developed by the 118-year-old brand. The car is presently undertaking severe hot weather testing in two places in South Africa: Augrabies in the Northern Cape; and Franschhoek, the ‘French Corner’ in the Western Cape winelands. Temperatures may exceed 50°C, and the southern area has a wide diversity of surfaces and terrains, such as winding rural roads covered in gravel, dust, and dirt.

Engineers at Rolls-Royce enhance every system, hardware component, and software protocol that has been built over almost two million kilometres of continuous testing. Each of the automobile's 25,000 distinct performance-related tasks has been designed to provide the greatest Rolls-Royce experience possible. The current modifications adhere to the concepts of'marginal gains,' according to which individual tweaks yield a substantial overall improvement.

“This is the start of a bold new chapter for our marque, our extraordinary clients and the luxury industry. For this reason, I believe Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls-Royce has ever produced.”

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

“The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration. They should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged.”

The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, Co-Founder, Rolls-Royce, 1900

Over 1500 hours have already been committed to perfecting the car’s regenerative braking. Data-logging technology evaluates sensor inputs provided by this braking force, to assure that modifications do not damage the overall tranquilly of Spectre under any driving situations. Anti-roll stabilisation is being tweaked to represent the dynamic promise of Spectre's dramatic super-coupé design while maintaining the brand's 'Magic Carpet Ride' characteristics. High temperatures may modify the hardness of rubber suspension components, resulting in a parameter that is bookended by severe cold weather testing results.

This method was also utilised to ensure the optimal colour quality and brightness for the light show triggered by the opening of Spectre's coach door. To ensure harmony inside the cabin, all interior illuminations, including the renowned Bespoke Starlight Headliner, instrument cluster, and SPIRIT interface, must be properly synchronised. This necessitates a comprehensive investigation of a worldwide spectrum of sunshine exposure and kinds to guarantee that Spectre's colour quality is consistent no matter where it is in the globe.

Conclusion

As the last stages of testing for Rolls-all-electric Royce's super coupé approach, more modifications will be made to the sealing materials in order to achieve Rolls-renowned Royce's aero-acoustic performance. The audio system will be fine-tuned to achieve minute improvements in the sound quality provided by Spectre's 17 speakers. Following early laboratory testing and calibration, the system is currently undergoing thorough testing under real-world circumstances. A specifically prepared playlist including a broad variety of musical genres is used to reflect the whole gamut of auditory needs.

Lifestyle Analysis will account for the last 500,000 kilometres of testing for Spectre. This testing procedure will subject the vehicle to ultra-luxurious settings and Rolls-Royce client-specific use-cases to guarantee that Spectre works as expected in the heart of major cities.

Availability

Spectre is now ready for commission, with first customer deliveries beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023. Spectre prices will fall between those of Cullinan and Phantom.
