The Rolls-Royce Spectre is probably the ultimate luxury EV. One of the most opulent cars on sale, the lucky few able to buy or lease one will experience the very finest British engineering, an incredible interior and an unmatched image. Electric motoring doesn’t get finer than this.

Key highlights of the Rolls-Royce Spectre

The Spectre is the first fully electric car from Rolls-Royce, as the iconic British luxury brand joins the modern age. Founder Charles Rolls imagined electric Rolls-Royces over 120 years ago, but the company took its time getting it right.

The Spectre is a graceful four-seater coupe designed from the ground up as an electric car. Being a Rolls-Royce, fit and finish is unrivalled, with deep woollen carpets, real metal switchgear and exceptional paint quality.

The lavish attention-to-detail combines with up-to-date technology - Rolls-Royce claims the Spectre is the most intelligent car it’s ever built, with features such as four-wheel steering and active anti-roll to create an incredibly easy, stable and - above all - quiet driving experience.

Rolls-Royce Spectre performance and range

Every Rolls-Royce Spectre comes equipped with dual motors developing a combined 577bhp. Despite weighing nearly three tonnes, this means the Spectre can go from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds.

With a large 102kWh battery pack the Spectre’s quoted WLTP range is 329 miles on a charge, or about 275 miles as a real-world estimate. 200kW charging speeds allow a 10-80% charge to be completed in around 35 minutes.
