The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-size battery electric luxury car manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The first deliveries of the car will arrive in Q4 2023. It will be Rolls-Royce's first EV and will ride on the same platform as the Phantom and Cullinan.[1] [2] The Rolls-Royce Spectre will have a range of more than 500km/310 miles. The Spectre's design is very similar to today’s Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe, also having the suicide doors similar to the Wraiths. The earliest prototypes showed a drag coefficient of just 0.26, making it the most aerodynamic Rolls-Royce ever created. The drag coefficient is expected to improve during the product's testing protocols undertaken in 2022.[3] The Spectre will have a redesigned Spirit of Ecstasy, the flowing robes (often mistaken for outstretched wings) will be reshaped for a realistic look with a lower, more dynamic stance which make her more aerodynamic. The new Spirit of Ecstasy stands 82.73 mm (3.3 in) tall, compared to her predecessor's 100.01 mm (3.9 in).[4] This brings her much closer to the original drawings made in the early years of the 20th century.[3] This iteration of the Spirit of Ecstasy will appear on all future models succeeding Spectre.[5]
