Once skeptics of Rolls-Royce’s venture into electrification, we now bear witness to the fruition of their labor: the Spectre. This high-end grand tourer embodies the spirit of the Wraith and Dawn but with electric propulsion, marking a significant leap forward for the Goodwood luxury marque.
The Spectre, a successor to the Wraith, boasts a larger stature than a Mercedes S-Class, heftier than a Cadillac Escalade ESV, and exudes opulence befitting its lofty price tag. While its initial allure may not fascinate at first glance, the whisper-quiet nature of its electric drivetrain perfectly complements its character.
Those fortunate enough to experience its plush interior firsthand proclaim it a pinnacle of automotive excellence. Traditionally, Rolls-Royce vehicles epitomize silence despite their potent V12 engines.
The transition to electric power seemed a natural progression, further aligning the Spirit of Ecstasy with modern sensibilities. Leveraging the Architecture of Luxury from models like the Ghost and Phantom, Rolls-Royce crafted a bespoke two-door GT body, lavishly adorned with opulent features, and bestowed upon it the esteemed name of Spectre.
As expected of any Rolls-Royce, acquiring a Spectre demands substantial financial investment. With a starting price hovering around $400,000, customizations and options easily escalate the final tally beyond half a million dollars.
While Novitec’s contribution may be subtle, with minimal exterior alterations save for a fresh hue and distinct alloy wheels, it further raises the Spectre’s allure. The fusion of luxury and performance, coupled with Rolls-Royce’s renowned craftsmanship, cements the Spectre’s status as an automotive masterpiece.
