The first electric Rolls Royce, a silent two door coupe with the widest doors the marque builds.
The Rolls Royce Spectre is the first electric Rolls Royce, a four seat two door coupe that is silent because it has no engine to hide rather than one it has muffled, on doors spanning 4.6 meters when open. Renters choose it over the V12 Wraith for an evening arrival or a date night, when the silent departure from a valet stand is itself the moment.
The silence is the whole story, with the HVAC system louder than anything the drivetrain makes, and the pull is instant and smooth rather than a shove. That suits content built around doors that open at a touch far more than a road trip taken without a charging plan.
Early adopters and tech industry renters who already know electric cars and want to feel what Rolls Royce did with the idea book the Rolls Royce Spectre most often. Evening arrivals and date nights suit it too, where a silent departure from a valet stand is the moment itself. Photo and video work built around the door opening sequence favors the Spectre, since the illuminated door panels available on this car are unique to it. It is not built for a road trip without a charging plan, and its rear seats suit shorter trips more than a long one, since two doors and a coupe roofline limit rear seat access.
The Rolls Royce Spectre is the marque's first electric car and the range is short. Rolls Royce builds it as the standard Spectre and as the Black Badge Spectre. Our fleet runs the standard car.
The Spectre we run is the standard car, with 577 hp and 663 lb-ft from dual motors, all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering. A 102 kWh battery sits under the floor and carries an EPA range rating of 260 miles. The doors span 4.6 meters when fully open, the widest Rolls Royce builds, and close under power from a button. Chauffeur service is available.
The Black Badge Spectre is the darkened and more powerful version of the same car. Output rises to 650 hp, the brightwork is finished in dark chrome, 23 inch wheels are standard, and carbon fiber trim replaces the wood and metal. It is also the only Spectre with a full torque mode, which Rolls Royce calls Infinity. We do not run one.
