Inside Rolls-Royce’s new electric Spectre

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Spectre, the luxury brand’s first electric vehicle. First orders of the vehicle are scheduled to be delivered in 2023.

The Spectre is the most expensive electric coupe on the market with a starting price of $413,000, though the figure can climb dramatically based on add-ons Rolls-Royce offers.

While the company has more testing and optimization to do before the Spectre launches on the market next year, preliminary data shows the two-door coupe can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds and has an all-electric range of about 320 miles. The first orders will be delivered in late 2023, Rolls-Royce said.

The Spectre is the company’s first electric vehicle, but Rolls-Royce plans for the entire fleet to be fully electric by 2030. In 2021, Rolls-Royce had a record year in terms of sales and production and sold 5,586 cars, a 49% increase compared to the previous year, the company said in January.
