2023 Rolls-Royce Spectre (EV)

2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre gets up to 468 km of EPA range

The US EPA has just published its range ratings for the 2024 model year Rolls-Royce Spectre. Not that anyone will be buying this car for its range, but still - it's nice to know what to expect for your (loads and loads of) money.

The maximum, according to the EPA, is 468 km combined cycle, for the version with 22" wheels. The Black Badge trim shaves a few off of that and ends up at 451 km.

 
Rolls-Royce delivers record number of cars, and bespoke commissions in 2023

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars delivered a record number of luxury vehicles last year when clients also began taking possession of its first all-electric Spectre model, the German-owned British brand said Monday.

Rolls delivered 6,032 cars around the world - the largest amount in its 119-year history - "despite continuing economic uncertainties and market volatility", the company said in a statement.

But sales were largely flat over the year, with 11 more vehicles handed over to clients compared with 2022, it added.

The United States was the group's biggest market in 2023, followed by China.

Last year "was another extraordinary year for Rolls-Royce, with strong sales performances in all regions and across the full product portfolio", said new chief executive Chris Brownridge.

 
Rolls-Royce Spectre Escapism

The bold colourway of Spectre 'Escapism' recalls the tropics of South America, whence the inspiration for this motor car is drawn. The two-tone exterior is finished in celebratory Lantana Red, referencing the vivid red tones of the Lantana Flower, whose vibrant bloom is believed to bring good luck. The upper section and coachline are rendered in a more subdued Tempest Grey. The 23" seven-spoke part-polished wheels have centres painted in Lantana Red, matching the surface above. The exterior coachwork treatment concludes with a softly illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy figurine.

Want a Rolls-Royce that’s even flashier than usual? Here are three

One-off Ghost, Phantom and Spectre models are inspired by picturesque locations and take exterior and interior design up to 11

What’s better than one special edition Rolls-Royce? Three that resemble various scenic locations, obviously! And that’s exactly what we’ve been treated to by the Spirit of Ecstasy marque, which has displayed a unique colourway of its Phantom, Spectre and Ghost models at the China Autoshow. Let’s start with the one inspired by Mayfield Lavender Farm.

Dubbed the Ghost ‘Expressionism’ and finished in a shade of purple that’s… blue, or Boracay Blue to be specific, the Ghost is meant to imitate a sunset over Boracay Island in the Philippines. The main theme is then complemented by a lime green coachline which represents the island’s tropical flora and fauna.

Inside, the lime green accents continue across the black/white leather upholstery, and can also be spotted along the doors. In fact, the doors themselves are created using over 140,000 stitches, which… is a lot of stitches. The Starlight roof also mimics the door stitching patterns to create a truly gorgeous cabin. Though it’s not quite the same as being on Boracay Island itself, particularly if you exit the car and realise you’re at Cobham Services.

 
Commenters, assemble: this is Mansory’s Rolls-Royce Spectre

No more power, but a whole lot more carbon fibre and orange leather for Rolls’ first EV

This is what Mansory calls a ‘complete vehicle conversion’ of the Rolls-Royce Spectre. There’s a bit of info to get through here before you can dive into the comments, so without further ado...

Unusually for Mansory, there isn’t actually any more power. The German tuner has decided to stay well away from the Spectre’s electric powertrain, meaning you’ll be stuck with the standard 576bhp and 664lb ft of torque being sent to all four wheels.

The visual addendums more than make up for the lack of extra grunt. Mansory has given the Spectre a full carbon fibre bodykit, which includes a front lip, a carbon bonnet, a rear diffuser, side skirts, two small rear spoilers, many fake air intakes and some strange surrounds for the rear lights that make the lamps resemble the wrong end of a baboon. Lovely.
