Rolls Royce Spectre EV
New Delhi: Rolls-Royce debuts its inaugural all-electric model, the Spectre, in India, priced at Rs 7.50 crore, marking it as the nation’s priciest privately available electric four-wheeler.
Featuring a 102kWh battery pack, the Spectre promises a WLTP cycle range of 530km. Charging from 10 to 80 percent can be accomplished in 34 minutes with a 195kW charger, or in 95 minutes with a 50kW DC charger. Powered by two electric motors—one on each axle—the Spectre generates a combined output of 585hp and 900Nm, propelling the 2,890kg vehicle to 100kph in just 4.5 seconds.
Built on Rolls-Royce’s Aluminium Spaceframe Architecture, known as the Architecture of Luxury, the Spectre shares its foundation with current models like the Phantom, Cullinan, and Ghost, having been engineered for electric capabilities from its inception. The vehicle boasts a 30 percent increase in stiffness compared to previous Rolls-Royce iterations, featuring active suspension and four-wheel steering.
Inspired by contemporary yacht concepts, the Spectre showcases a striking design, highlighted by its widest-ever grille with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, boasting 22 LEDs for soft nighttime illumination. The Spirit of Ecstasy emblem has also been aerodynamically optimized, contributing to the Spectre’s remarkable drag coefficient of 0.25, making it the most aerodynamic Rolls-Royce to date.
The introduction of the Spectre marks a significant milestone in Rolls-Royce’s ambition to transition to an all-electric brand by 2030. Serving as the sole coupe in the lineup following the conclusion of Dawn production, the Spectre represents a pivotal step in the luxury automaker’s electrification journey.
