The Rolls-Royce Spectre has been a long time coming. In fact, it has been in the works since Mr Rolls and Mr Royce started the company. In 1900, Charles Rolls prophesied that the future of cars was with an electric engine, and now in 2023 it really is.
The brand is planning to be completely electric by 2030 but the Spectre is the first full production model to be fully electric. There have been electric concepts produced of the Phantom (102EX) and the Vision Next 100 (103EX), but these were not for sale. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Spectre name has been used on concept ‘EX’ cars for Rolls-Royce as far back as the 1930s, but never on a production model.
