Rolls-Royces are always imposing, and the Spectre has a majestic presence despite its plentiful curves. Both are exciting to drive, but the Spectre wins hands down in styling, and is a quieter performance statement. The two models are quite distinct, though. and US$495,600 in Canada.Ĭomparisons to the BMW I7 electric are perhaps inevitable-the battery, for instance, is a modified version of the unit in that car. The Spectre’s dash to 60 miles per hour takes 4.4 seconds. The big nearly five-feet long “coach” doors are lightweight aluminum, too. The weight would have been higher if not for the all-aluminum “Architecture of Luxury” space frame platform (shared with Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan). The coupe produces 584 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque, which is helpful in moving the 6,371 pounds.
The Spectre has a pair of electric motors, one for each axle (190 kilowatts front 360 kilowatts rear), and a 102-kilowatt-hour battery, made with ethically sourced cobalt and lithium. The Spectre’s interior is still traditional, but with bright, youthful colors. There are sensors monitoring “almost 20 different steering, braking, power delivery, and suspension parameters.” There is all-wheel drive, of course, and active air that is constantly scanning the road ahead. Stability is achieved by managing torque delivery to the wheels, and constantly adjusting the anti-roll bars and shock absorbers for maximum passenger protection. The Spectre doesn’t feel like a big car on the road, thanks in part to the four-wheel steering that aids cornering.

The regen is there if the driver wants it (via the column-mounted “B” button) but in the default position the effect is quite mild. Instead, there’s stately progress, but plenty of passing power. The company was at pains to avoid some of the more jarring aspects of the average EV-the rocket-ship acceleration, the abrupt dive from regenerative braking. On the uncrowded, winding roads of vineyard country around Napa, the Spectre was very much in its element-wafting gently along. It’s ultra-quiet, with a hushed luxury interior that if anything is above the company’s usual standards. The Spectre drives just like a Rolls-Royce.
