Spectre [Hot!] Rolls-Royce 'Spectre' EV

[Centurion]

I think the spectre will be a hit, especially amongst urban owners that park in underground car park. Not having to visit a gas station is luxury and so is access to EV only parking bays.

Looks Phantom coupe-ish in size. It looks considerably bigger than a Wraith in these pics?

That reminds me of the Stereotype of Germans on holiday when they steal all the sun loungers.
Now they will be stealing all the charging points. Or all the hot water.

It is closer to the Phantom Coupe than the Wraith in proportion. It is huge. It goes back to being the tender to the Phantom
Which is that super yacht.

This car will likely cost a fortune.

I am surprised that RR continued to heavily invest in sound deadening and engineering artificial sound to minimise nausea for occupant.

Why not use active noise cancelling to achieve both? The new full fat Range Rover is impeccably quiet thanks to active noise cancelling.

Range Rover will sound like a VW Golf next to this.

Yupp. It will be dissapointing if it still resembles a reskinned 7series cabin from 2009. Not to say that there should be screens everywhere but some new ideas in the cabin would be refreshing.

Isn't it the dashboard of the Ghost?

I think this car will be epic and be the first "traditionally good looking" luxury EV. Price will be stratospheric but worth it to those who want the very best.

Price will be stratospheric

Why do you think so? The EV drivetrain is cheaper than a V12 with a gearbox.

Early adopter price. I presume the battery and drivetrain will be unique to the car.

I'm assuming it's going to pretty much be the same as the i7 M70.

Interesting. Isn't BMW taking RR in the direction of not being reskinned bimmers?

They periodically mention that the V12 engine and Ghost platform aren't BMW derived.

Who are they? The V12 is made in Germany and there is no RR R&D in it. How can it be bespoke?

The platform is unique; modular aluminium space frame - they are not reskinned BMW's. The V12, is unique to Rolls-Royce, it's a BMW N74 engine, but in a configuration that isn't featured in a BMW. They still use BMW parts in the chassis, but you've got to trace part numbers to see that.

They're clearly not reskinned BMW's, but there is BMW DNA in them.
