2024 RollsRoyce Spectre
Starting at $422.750

Highs: Absolutely silent inside, highest level of fit and finish, makes the same highend statement as gaspowered RollsRoyces.
Lows: Less driving range than other highdollar EVs, road manners a bit on the floaty side, sharp impacts aren't entirely erased by the suspension.
Verdict: RollsRoyce's first EV is a spectacular one, and proof that even the worlds most luxurious cars are capable of ecofriendly motoring.

Overview

RollsRoyce is taking its ultimateluxury ethos to a new realm with the allelectric 2024 Spectre coupe. James Bond probably wouldn't toast the new model with one of his shakennotstirred signature martinis given his history of battling the international crime organization known as Spectre. But he might want to drive the regal new coupe nonetheless. The Spectre rides on the same platform as the Phantom sedan and Cullinan SUV but is propelled by a fully electric powertrain consisting of two electric motors that pump out a combined 577 horsepower. The driving range is estimated to be as high as 291 miles per charge, which does not place the Spectre among the longrange EV cohort with lessexpensive rivals such as the Tesla Model S and the Lucid Motors Air. But buyers with the $450,000 or so available to buy a Spectre aren't likely to road trip when their private jet is always standing ready at a nearby airfield. The Spectre is RollsRoyce's first in a series of EVs, and the company says that its gasolinepowered models will be phased out of the lineup and replaced entirely with EVs by 2030.

What's New for 2024?
The Spectre is a new addition to the RollsRoyce lineup and its first customers can expect to take delivery by the end of 2023.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 RollsRoyce Spectre starts at $422.750.
Spectre: $422,750

RollsRoyce will let you customize a Spectre pretty much any way you want. And that's a good thing, because, with a price tag this high, we expect buyers will want something truly personalized.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
All Spectres will come with a dualmotor electric powertrain with 577 horsepower and 664 lbft of torque. After taking the Spectre on a test drive, we estimate that the electric powertrain will move the 6559pound coupe to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. You may scoff at that estimate and point to the Tesla Model S Plaid that hit 60 mph in 2.1 seconds in our testing, but we'd be quick to remind you that RollsRoyce's brand ethos is more about quiet cruising than mindbending performance. Although sharp impacts will still make themselves known, RollsRoyce has installed adaptive suspension to ensure an appropriately isolated ride over all but the biggest bumps, and the engineers also made room for a massive amount of sounddeadening material to maintain a whisperquiet cabin. And oh how quiet it is. On the road, the Spectre is so silent inside that your ears pick up almost no sounds until you get up to 80 mph and the wind starts to only slightly penetrate into the tomblike cabin.
