Rolls-Royce Spectre review
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“The first ever electric Rolls is a lesson to the entire car world in how to execute the ultimate luxury car”
The Spectre ruddy well ought to be nigh-on perfect for such titanic money. And yet we suspected that we’d miss being dimly aware of twelve perfectly balanced cylinders whirring away in the middle-distance. Or that we'd struggle to see why you wouldn't save a few hundred grand and just buy a BMW i7. Perhaps an e-Roller would be sterilised, or an anachronism.
But if anything, they’ve done the impossible here. Electric has enriched the Rolls-Royce. It’s still a galloping, ocean-going, 24-carat indulgence, but with a tasteful specification it’s just about possible to swerve absolute vulgarity.
It’s rich in the decadence of the so-called glory days but gratifyingly simple to operate for a product of 2023. While other manufacturers wrestle with the conundrum of transposing their family heirloom values into an electric future, the age of electric propulsion will suit Rolls-Royce very well indeed.

The electric future’s looking very bright for Rolls-Royce. Very probably the finest car in the world

Rolls Royce Has Had It With Buyers Flipping Its Cars
The British luxury carmaker has threatened to blacklist for life buyers who flip its first electric model, the Spectre
By now, I’m sure you’re as tired as I am of reading reports about those lucky few who get their hands on a shiny new electric vehicle in the first wave of deliveries, only to sell them at an inflated price on platforms like Bring A Trailerand Cars & Bids. It’s a bizarre way to make a buck, and it turns out Rolls Royce is fed up with it, too. Rolls is looking into ways to make sure that its first EV gets into the hands of people who want to keep them.
According to a new report from Automotive News, the luxury carmaker is hoping to stamp out flippers when deliveries of its new Spectre EV begin later this year. In fact, the site says Rolls Royce has gone so far as to suggest that anyone that sells their Spectre for profit will be “banned for life.”
In an interview with Car Dealer Magazine, Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said that any attempt to “cash in” on Rolls’ first EV will result in the buyers “being blacklisted.” The site reports:

The unforgiving Rolls-Royce resale ban
So, you've finally gotten your hands on the all-new, all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre. You're feeling pretty good about yourself, right? But don't let the euphoria sweep you off your feet just yet. You might want to pump the brakes on those high-roller antics if you've got any dreams of flipping this hotshot vehicle for a cool profit.
At the recent California launch of the Spectre, Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos made it clear that anyone who tries to turn a quick profit by selling their Spectre soon after buying it would be put onto the company's blacklist. No more Rollers for you, period. A kind of vehicular version of a one-strike-and-you're-out rule.
Rolls-Royce, it appears, isn't keen on playing games with its prestigious customer base. The company wants to ensure the just-launched Spectre is appreciated by true connoisseurs of luxury, not seen as a quick profit scheme for opportunistic buyers. Muller-Otvos emphasized, "We are really sanitizing the need to prove who you are, and what you want to do with the car." Just because you have a fat wallet doesn't automatically qualify you for a ride in a Rolls-Royce.

Once a 'Roller' reseller, always a blacklisted customer.
