Despite an overall shape and profile akin to the now-dead Wraith, Rolls-Royce describes the Spectre as the spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe of the 2000s in terms of market positioning, and it's certainly imposing in size. Its 214.6-inch overall length and 126.3-inch wheelbase are 7.2 and 3.8 inches longer than a Wraith, respectively, while the Phantom Drophead measures 6.2 and 4.4 inches longer in each respect than the Spectre. The Spectre's fastback roofline is similar to the Wraith's, but the EV has much more dramatic proportions with a longer hood and rear overhang, with the rear trunklid coming to a sharper point. The Spectre also features the crispest lines and surfacing of any Rolls, with fender lines coming to sharply lit peaks and more drastic shadows falling on the bodywork.
The Spectre has the sleekest interpretation of Rolls-Royce's Pantheon grille yet, made from a single piece of aluminum and fit nearly flush into the front end. It's also the widest grille ever on a Rolls, and the inner vanes have a flusher fit that aids with airflow. The hood is topped by a redesigned Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament that helps make the Spectre the most aerodynamic Rolls ever made, with a drag coefficent of 0.26 equalling the radical BMW i8. Rolls-Royce is the latest automaker to go with a split headlight design, but I think it's extremely effective on the Spectre. A super-thin LED running light is aligned with the top of the grille and fender cutlines, while the main beams are inset below in a sculpted panel. And remember, the 2003 Phantom and its spin-offs had double headlight arrays you thought were weird at first, too. Best of all, the sandblasted vanes of the grille are backlit by 22 LEDs.
Blocky lower air intakes in the front bumper, a streamlined rear diffuser and gloss black lower cladding aid the Spectre's futuristic look. The taillights are relatively tiny rectangular pods with dual vertical LED stripes that protrude from the bodywork like vintage tail fins -- I love basically any car with tail fins -- and the Spectre even has a bit of a Bangle butt in the way the trunk is more upright than the fenders that house the taillights. Rolls-Royce also picked a pretty wild spec in which to launch the Spectre, with sparkling mustard yellow bodywork paired with a metallic black finish on the hood, roof and upper trunk. The two-tone look really aids the Spectre's in looking sleeker and, dare I say, more sci-fi.
The Spectre is built on the same modular Architecture of Luxury platform that has underpinned everything since 2017 from the Cullinan and Ghost to the Phantom and the insane coachbuilt Boat Tail. Rolls-Royce designed the all-aluminum Architecture of Luxury to be ready for fully electric powertrains from the start. The battery is integrated into the structure itself, which makes the Spectre 30% stiffer than any Rolls before it, and the car's floor is between the sills instead of below or on top. There's a channel between the battery and floor for wiring and climate control piping, allowing for a lower seating position and a smooth underfloor. The battery also conveniently acts as 1,543 pounds of sound deadening.
Where other marques are locked into a battle of who can achieve the lowest 0-to-60 time or the highest EPA range figure, the Spectre is harking back to the days when Rolls-Royce would simply describe its cars' power figures as "adequate." While the brand isn't saying yet, the Spectre likely uses a pair of electric motors, with one at each axle for all-wheel drive. According to Rolls' current testing, the unknown electric motors provide a total of 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque -- conveniently the same torque output as the twin-turbo V12 used in the Ghost Black Badge, with only 14 fewer hp. The Spectre has an anticipated 0-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds, which is a tenth quicker than the Ghost, and it will reach a limited top speed of 155 mph. (A more powerful Black Badge model will come later.) We don't know the exact battery size yet, but Rolls-Royce says the Spectre is aiming for an EPA-estimated range of up to 260 miles, 14 miles better than a Porsche Taycan GTS. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

In a Rolls Royce EV makes sense!👍 It's quiet and powerful! In a Rolls Royce you don't care about a cool engine sound anyway... So...😎👌
EV for rolls Royce makes a lot of sense, and I think they’ve done a good job of making their EV feel like all their other cars, instead of making it radically different. I would love to see other manufacturers follow their lead and make more cars that feel like their existing cars instead of making things too revolutionary. Although with this said I think the rear is ugly, I think it looks like the Chrysler crossfire lol
the rear end is very similar to the ghost
Rolls Royce: Makes first EV
Carfection: I wear 2 watches
10 Years of Perfection! (I'm gonna hurl.)
I bet this fashion will catch on!
He is ahead of his time.
Great to see another Carfection film! That is quite a Rolls Royce, but it's the bonnet length that really impresses me. I keep thinking they're getting closer and closer to the Thunderbirds cars with every new model they release, but I can't argue that it looks terrific. Yes, unmistakable that it's a Rolls Royce, but it's also absolutely modern looking without shouting that it is. Exceptionally well designed.
A non-car related question - What's with the 2 wristwatches ? (One on each) 😅
generally when people do this, each watch is set to a different timezone. still a flex, don't get me wrong, but usually a timezone thing.
@@seanhallissey4796 i think the apple watch that he's wearing can mitigate that ? 😄 Just saying..
I believe one is a mechanical watch for style and the other an Apple watch to track fitness, get phone notifications, etc. Personally I think it's weird but it's more common than you'd think
@@ThatRosco458 yep Apple Watch. ignore me.
I wear two ‘watches’ one an elegant conventional mechanical watch, the other apple device, a purely functional, for health, fitness and communication rather than a time piece - as already stated a more common thing. Think of it as an analog clock, in a car with a digital dash 🙂
It’s a very well executed variation on post opulence. The only things I don’t get are the headlights, why on earth did Rolls Royce dabble in 7series leftover’s? Oh and the booger greenish color just emphasizes money doesn’t buy taste.
I would have never picked that color combo but wow it really REALLY works.
Holy smokes!
the ending almost gave me a heart attack, thought carfection was gonna end or something ,
thats not how you do a 10 year celebratory graphic.
btw cheer's to both RR for the specter and you guys for 10 years of automotive journalism excellence.
it did btw. That really was the end. We just didn't know it then😢
@@thehumanoid6543 Just saw the JayEmm video ,
sad it had to end this way .
The grill now will channel the air around the car! Dude, explain that bit for me please. How is that even possible? 😅
Hahaha he’s trying so hard to say big arty words lol. As for the car it’s actually looks better than the wrath .also see a lot new BMW styling thinking especially at the front .
Proud to be watching this video in 4K in my university wifi for the very first time in my life.
RR should revive the Phantom coupe
I don't know how I feel about the split headlight design, because it reminds of the new 7 series. And if I was a buyer of a RR, I wouldn't like that resemblance.
It is a rebranded i7. What do you expect?
Amazing review!!
Wow you can change the wallpaper on the screen!
LOL
It's a mutated BMW i7 or X7
I like this guy. He's measured and articulate. 👍
RR - the epitome of luxury, elegance, and class ✨️
Awesome!
Love this new roller
Wow this is just awesome 👏
Why does Drew look like he just woke up and put on whatever clothes he could find in the dark?
He was probably feeling depressed because this was his last Carfection video, as the channel is no more.
Very impressive
Finally; an EV that I don't mind being silent. Have reservations about the styling - the front looks a little less RR and a bit more BMW and you can leave the Spirit of Ecstasy alone. It's not meant to be dramatic or aggressive - it's meant to be beautifully representing momentum - just like the car...
It's like a modern Rolls-Royce Camargue, even the color looks inspired by one of those avialable on this model.
On screen it doesn't look as good as a wraith, but I'm sure it's impressive "in the flesh".
I have enjoyed watching lots of content over the years. This was one of the best Video Previews I have watched 😊
That grille looks like a painters brush moustache. I can't unsee it now.
😂 brah I saw the thumbnail and thought.... that guy looks like me... started playing the vid wife enters and say: did you make a video 😂😂😂😂😂 was hilarious.... not only we look a like, the clothing style is sooo close😂😂😂😂
All that car and we get the first 3mins on the grill !!
Beautiful and sensuous review.
The review was as thoughtful and elegant as the new ev from RR. Way beyond my wallet but good to see what is available when human art and tech at best, peace ✌️
Seriously, how can you believe the figures Rolls Royce gives out?! If the manufacturer says it drives over 500 km (WLTP), in reality it maybe does 400 km at best..
"Incredibly minimalist" is an oxymoron.
And yet RR still can't figure out how to make a sunroof.
She's certainly sophisticated as she is beautiful... always sooo beautiful 😍
I don't know they say that it doesn't function for air intake or to cool an engine, but batteries need to stay cool too and I think it does have a function.
I hate how they didn’t even try to hide the actual headlights
I hate even more how they skipped talking about the headlights in the video
Reminds me of the last Jeep Cherokee. They tried to hide the lights in the face lift later on.
BMW influence
@@harshsonawane6076 Rolls Royce has had split headlights (with the real headlights below the daytime running lights and indicators) like this since the 2003 -> Phantom. This is not new for them.
That’s literally the 2023 X7 design. Lmao
Wow both Cadillac and Rolls-Royce dropping top of the line luxury EV's at the same time.
Is Henry doing a video in the Valkyrie for hagerty or carfection !? Because I’m hyped
I think the Spirit of Ecstasy is leaning forward because, unlike the Phantom, it's on the curved front of the bonnet rather than the top of the grille. I quite like the profile, but the rear lights look like an afterthought and the double front lights need to be more cohesive IMO.
Rolls Royce said they put in 860hrs redesigning and fine tuning it in a wind tunnel to make it slippery through the air. Sounds like overkill but that's the RR way!
The spirit of Ecstasy had been redesigned, but other cars have smaller grills with it on the bonnet.
9.29 nice looking booster seat
I’m so sad that Carfection is ending :(
Whaaaaat?!
Where did you hear this? I can't find anything online regarding it
@@vxyz5219 Alex Goy, Johnny Smith and Harry Metcalfe all tweeted about it.
@@bend1483 Gotcha, thanks.
This is the type of vehicle that perfectly fits being an EV, can't tell if I like the design or not
This is the most important car for Roll Royce.
You'll never fit that car in a conventional parking space @6:38.. call the police, I'm trapped in my half million dollar car!
With the electrical issues rolls have, imagine replacing a battery on this out of warranty.
Not a problem the uber-rich will worry about, I suppose.
@@sergiosaunier you’d be surprised how little money rich people like parting with
@@Kurlach That’s one of the reasons why they’re rich, I suppose as well!
Before anybody compares the headlight design to the new 7-series BMW. This may share internals with the electric i7 however I would like to remind you all that Rolls Royce has had split headlights with the real headlight under the running light since 2003. That is way before BMW ever had it.
Be that as it may, the way the split headlights are styled here look almost identical to the i7. In fact a lot of this car is recycled parts from different BMWs and Rolls-Royce.
This isn't Rolls Royce electrifying their car, this is how they're reducing cost for make interior more quiet.
I do wish people would stop saying things like ‘position of the batteries as opposed to an engine’. The battery is the replacement for the fuel tank - the motor is the replacement for the engine! Also - I would be amazed if there is no cooling system for the motor - there’s one in the E-tron for instance.
Exactly, all electric cars have one form of battery cooling or another involving air-water or air-air heat exchange
“7-series coupe with RR badge”
I remember when the Rolls-Royce symbolized luxury and richness.
Rolls-Royce, who used to set trend, is jumping on the band wagon called Split Headlight Design…why?
Just need v12 powerplanted Wraith and Dawn with proper “RR” look
Some say that EV RR makes a sense but that opinion is incorrect real owners of RR want to feel richness that comes from 12-cylinder high displacement engine feeling
Huh? Split headlights have been all over RR design since the Phantom 7 dropped in '03.
@@MadDaCube We all know that starting with ‘03 phantom, has angular forms and distinct split headlights family looks.
But starting with the 8th gen. Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan had an all-in-one headlight family look. And it was part of the "boldness in design" that they were proud of, and it was a new design language. (I didn't like it though)
It's out of the blue that Rolls-Royce Spector suddenly went back to split headlight design
How Abt u tell ur editor to show rear colors
Grey Poupon has come full circle.
That's going to very dignified for the elite to clamber into the back of their Rolls only to have zero legroom in a car the size of a ship.
The interior needs updating!!!
I love this car. I’ve got into EV’s over the past year and have ordered a Skoda Enyaq Sportline. But this would now be my dream car. I do wish they’d done a bit more with the dashboard though. I think the vents are looking a bit old now. It looks like a ten year old Ghost too. Why do a fat steering wheel too? Well, I can dream and do the lottery. But £50k on a Skoda is enough.
I’m surprised the luggage space wasn’t discussed?
Well there's the new dream car...
Named after a bloody Bond movie? Bond even never drove a Rolls. In the first books he is driving a Bentley 4.5 litre. Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, nice marketing campaign coming up I presume. Some guy living under a bridge with a gun held to his head is convincingly going to tell is its a jolly good car.
how long does it take to get from London to Monte Carlo or St.Moritz?
Wow
EV's to cars is what quartz was to watches. Experience and workmanship is not the same.
looks too messy on the front end
The looks work for me. Very stylish.
Imagine spending $500k on a new Rolls Royce and finding out it has the same headlights as a $90k BMW 7 series sedan or X7 SUV as well as probably a lot of other components underneath.
pagani uses mercedes engines, aston martin uses mercedes components too, do you still look at those as a lesser cars? there are other expensive cars that share things with cheaper ones, also rolls royce been doing the split headlights since 2003, the bloody new bugatti has the secondary key like a damn vw golf
Last carfection video? You’ll be missed. 😢
Where did it say “last Carfection video”?
Ah. So Carfection uses the word "perfection" to build its name. I thought it came from the word "affection". This is my least favorite Rolls Royce so far. I think it doesn't have the flowy lines the other ones have, especially around the C pillar and the trunk lines, and that two tone splitting that makes the trunk line more obvious. Still, a magnificent, gorgeous car. One day, I'll be able to afford it and I'll start with the Phantom.
If I could afford one, I'd start with the Wraith.
Wow, this is ugly from the front, hideous from the rear
LOL Supercombo.
The car is gorgeous but maybe not in those colors
and the review is total perfection!
Did you actually say that the door is one and a half meters long;
where the hell do you park this car to be able to get in and out of it.
Those wheels! Super retro-future art Deco vibes.
It’s UGLY
Another video where TH-cam sticks all the “negative” comments at the bottom of the comments list. have been seeing this trend alot lately. hope this comment doesnt get deleted
Beautiful as a R.R. should be.
Distracted by the way to tight shirt.
Why hasn't this guy been scooped up to be involved with a different channel? He's so good...
Did carfection just die after Henry left? 😢
Very very nice 😎👌
nice gut
So now that the parent company dabbled in EVs it's time for RR to follow suit again with its series of models... since they're all pretty huge, pretty heavy and rarely driven outside of routes with charging stations nearby, it's a good option for proper silent and comfy and cosy vehicle from the brand.
“Its like you are passing through a universe” - righto mate. You actually are.
Luckily they didn't make the cost cutting all touchscreen mistakes so many other legacy car builders are making.
A CARBON-PRODUCING NIGHTMARE
POSITIVELY SATANIC
This model should be called RR Majesta
Nice enough car, but the quiet thoughtful awed comments from the presenter do make me smile. I mean, they haven’t cured cancer or landed on Mars. It’s a car for people with more money than they know what to do with, that’s it.
Let me channel some inner Jeremy Clarkson here. Launch cars should never be brown. The launch spec is hideous, even inside. Aside from that, it looks great.
You have bought something new though well done ,i guess you ,ve felt my first comment and are trying to do something about it
color chosen by Mansory
Gypsy edition limited, lol
If you want to show off your wealth, you'd buy it. If you want to show off your taste, you'd look elsewhere for your mobility.
I feel like the guy really did not have anything meaningful to say.
drew doesn't sound convinced by it at all
Those wheels look like recent Volvo wheels.
So is Henry gone from this channel or?
what a half-assed attempt by rr
Too bad if this is the end of Carfection. Somewaht fitting video for it. If only you could've driven it.
End? What's happened?
I love the idea of a RR EV, but this redesign looks like a Wraith and a Dodge Challenger had a giant baby.
looks like an old Buick from the 1950's

Please use imperial as well as metric measures when talking about range etc.
I had the opportunity to drive the 102 EX Prototype back a decade ago and at the time, i couldn't understand why Rolls Royce wasn't jumping straight into EV's. It INSTANTLY made sense that a Roller would have an electric powertrain. Keep in mind that this was nearly 2 years before the Model S even launched so perhaps they were worried it wouldn't sell? Not sure, but the EV powertrain even in that development car was highly polished and very much suited the car. I mean, what's more luxurious than a Rolls Royce with MORE silence and LESS powertrain NVH and no shifts?
I'm sure this will be fantastic.
But not with that interior....
Putting the front camera there infront of the grill is just sloppy
Will bodywork tuners get to work on this faster then they did with recent BMW grills?
Rolls Royce EV makes sense, the modern BMW hideous designs elements; doesn’t make any sense .. just like what happened to Ferrari under FCA management in term of design. Loved the “swiped tail” inspiration at the rear end though. Wish if we can see an EV Phantom coupe
Makes you look like a hobbit
