After Rolls-Royce announced the Spectre electric vehicle (EV) about a year ago, the company has continued to test early versions of the vehicle and it is now sharing pertinent details about the car.
Rolls-Royce unveiled the Spectre EV in a press release today, expecting the vehicle to have a 320-mile WLTP range in early testing and calling it a spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe. The estimated EPA range is 260 miles (418 km). The upcoming EV also supports Rolls-Royce’s plans to make its lineup fully electric by 2030.

“This is the start of a bold new chapter for our marque, our extraordinary clients and the luxury industry. For this reason, I believe Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls-Royce has ever produced,” said Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös.

The details included in the release are pre-production testing figures and the company says they could be subject to change.
The EV is set to launch in Q4 2023, and although the automaker has not yet set a price for any of the coming markets, it plans for the EV to be priced between its Cullinan and Phantom models in the U.S., but according to Engadget pricing starts at $413,500 USD.
