2024 ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Rolls-Royce Spectre marks a significant, yet seamless, transition for the iconic luxury brand into the electric era. The reviewer highlights its unparalleled quietness and decadent interior, featuring exquisite craftsmanship and high-end materials, such as the unique Alpine cattle leather and intricate timber veneers. While the Spectre retains the brand's signature opulent feel, it replaces the V12 engine with a powerful dual-motor electric powertrain delivering instant torque and brisk acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds). The claimed range is 530 km, though real-world testing yielded closer to 450 km. Despite its immense weight, the Spectre offers a serene and surprisingly capable driving experience, thanks to its advanced air suspension and adaptive dampers. The reviewer praises its seamless integration of technology without compromising its classic Rolls-Royce character, concluding it sets a new benchmark for luxury EVs and is highly recommended.
