Haunted
Rolls-Royce will soon cut almost half of its models from the range. The last copies of both the Dawn and the Wraith will leave the factories in Goodwood next year.
The Rolls-Royce range currently includes Ghost, Phantom, Cullinan, Wraith and Dawn. The last copies of the Wraith and Dawn will leave the production line in 2023, Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös told the English Autocar.
The Dawn and Wraith are the spiritual successors of successively the Phantom Drophead Coupé and Phantom Coupé. However, unlike those cars, they don’t share their base with the flagship Phantom, but with the smaller Ghost. It’s also about the Ghost of the previous generation. After all, in 2020 a completely new generation Ghost was added to the Rolls range. The Wraith launched in 2013 and the Dawn that appeared two years later will not have direct successors, but will nevertheless find replacement in a completely different way in a new Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce will launch the Specter in the fourth quarter of 2023. Just like the Wraith, the Specter will be a coupé, but one of a completely different order. The Specter will be Rolls-Royce’s first fully electric car ever. Just like the current Ghost and Phantom, the car must have its own platform. So no BMW basis for the Specter. The Specter will certainly not be the last EV from Rolls-Royce, as from 2030 the brand will only sell electrically powered models.
