Rolls-Royce Spectre 120kWh Auto 4WD 2dr
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The standard Spectre comes with a dual-motor electric powertrain with 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The Black Badge variant gets a sharp increase in power and torque to 650 horsepower and 793 pound-feet. Although sharp impacts still make themselves known, Rolls-Royce has installed adaptive suspension to ensure an appropriately isolated ride over all but the biggest bumps, and the engineers also made room for a massive amount of sound-deadening material to maintain a whisper-quiet cabin. And oh how quiet it is. On the road, the Spectre is so silent inside that your ears pick up almost no sounds.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The Spectre sports a 102.0-kWh battery borrowed from the BMW i7 which is estimated to provide a driving range of up to 266 miles per charge when paired with 23-inch wheels. Going with the smaller 22-inch wheels increases the range estimate to as much as 291 miles per charge. DC fast-charging is standard.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Spectre’s cabin offers space for four with bucket seats in both rows. Rear-hinged coach doors take some getting used to, but they open wide to make accessing the rear seat easy. Anyone familiar with Rolls-Royce’s current interior design will find a similarly sybaritic one here, although the company has added several design features that are unique to Spectre. For example, in addition to the brand’s signature starry-night headliner, the Spectre’s door panels rock a similar twinkle with tiny LED lights sparkling in the area surrounding the armrests. There is also a seemingly endless array of personalization options and material choices.
Infotainment and Connectivity
All Spectres come with a touchscreen infotainment system nestled into its well-trimmed dashboard. A digital gauge cluster is standard too. The technology is well-integrated into the Spectre’s interior design and doesn’t distract from the ambiance. A Bespoke Audio stereo system is available and includes attractive aluminum speaker grilles.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Rolls-Royce offers several driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
