5:02Now PlayingRolls-Royce Motor Cars produces some of the most desirable ultra-luxury cars, and the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Coupe is the newest addition to their lineup. The 2024 Spectre is the prestigious British brand’s first EV that moves the ultra-luxury automaker towards a new era.
Although it is built on the same platform as the flagship Phantom sedan and Cullinan SUV, unlike its siblings, the Spectre doesn’t house a massive V12 under its hood. It’s motivated by a dual-motor electric powertrain, capable of generating up to 577 horsepower and providing a maximum range of up to 291 miles. As evident from the specs, it is neither the most powerful nor the most efficient EV in the market. However, electric or not, it is a Rolls-Royce, and that quality and level of opulence can’t be matched by any other luxury competitor.
Get inside the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre and you are treated to an uber-luxurious cabin strongly reminiscent of the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The only main differentiating factor is the upgraded, more modern-looking touchscreen, which also features an updated operating system and infotainment interface. The driver’s cockpit also feels familiar, with the ultra-comfy seats with lots of support and the large, rounded-off Rolls-Royce steering wheel.
The 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre is propelled by a dual-motor all-electric all-wheel-drive powertrain capable of generating 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. The car weighs a massive 6,559 lbs and is endowed with a 102.0-kWh battery pack borrowed from the BMW i7.
