We get behind the wheel of the new Spectre at a first drive event in California
Rolls-Royce first, electric car second. It’s a sound bite which crops up time and time again from the brand’s top brass, all in attendance at the Spectre’s first drive event in Napa Valley, California. At first glance, there is little that gives away its full EV credentials. Familiar features such as Pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy, coach doors and sweeping lines familiar from the drop top Phantom coupé reassure that the marque hasn’t made any drastic departures from its 123 year heritage. It comes as no surprise, then, that some 60% of pre-orders are from existing Rolls-Royce owners.
