Spectre, set for 2023 launch, will be the first Rolls-Royce EV

MANILA: Rolls-Royce announced that its own EV will hit the market in 2023. Called the Spectre, it will be underpinned by Rolls-Royce’s own "Spaceframe" architecture, upon which the Phantom, Ghost, and Cullinan are based. 

Before it goes on sale, however, the Spectre will undergo prototype testing spanning 2.5 million kilometers across the world. 

Meanwhile, based on the press photos of the camouflaged Spectre, it appears that the car could come as a two-door coupe like the current Wraith. The carmaker did not provide specific details about the Spectre's specs, such as battery size and range.

By 2030, all Rolls-Royce products will be fully electric, which "fulfills the 1900 prophecy" of the marque’s founder, Charles Rolls. Rolls apparently experienced an EV in 1900, then "declared its electric drive to be ideal," Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said. 

“Spectre is a name given to otherworldly beings synonymous with great power and apparition, Müller-Ötvös added. The CEO also expressed that the Spectre will be built upon previous concept EVs.

“At Rolls-Royce, we have been experimenting with an electric powertrain for some time. In 2011 we revealed 102EX, a fully operational all-electric Phantom. We followed this in 2016 with our fully electric 103EX, which represented our vision for the marque several decades into the future.”
