Luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled its first ever electric car, named Spectre.
According to the company, Spectre “demonstrates how perfectly Rolls-Royce is suited to electrification”.
The car manufacturer suggests that Spectre heralds the beginning of all-electric era for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, with this model using new Spirit software architecture.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce, said: “Spectre possesses all the qualities that have secured the Rolls-Royce legend.
“This incredible motor car, conceived from the very beginning as our first fully-electric model, is silent, powerful and demonstrates how perfectly Rolls-Royce is suited to electrification.
“Spectre’s all-electric powertrain will assure the marque’s sustained success and relevance while dramatically increasing the definition of each characteristic that makes a Rolls-Royce a Rolls-Royce.”
The manufacturer describes it as the ‘world’s first ultra-luxury electric super Coupé’ and that it is a spiritual successor to Phantom Coupé.
What’s more, the company claims to have put the vehicle through the most exhaustive testing programme it has ever conceived. Spectre has reportedly been subjected to a journey of more than 2.5 million kilometres (1.55 million miles), which should simulate more than 400 years of use for a Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce hopes to deliver its first Spectre cars to customers in Q4 of 2023.
