Coming in fourth quarter 2023
Rolls-Royce is working on an electric coupé with electric inspiration. His name is not Wraith but Specter and it is that apparently gigantic plug-in coupe that has been re-imagined by the British.
Rolls-Royce has released an extensive series of new photos of the Spectre, a luxury electric coupé that will go down in the history books as the brand’s first electric production model. However, it is not the first EV that Rolls-Royce has ever made. As early as 2011, the brand came up with the 102EX, an electric Phantom that led to the much more conceptual 103EX a year later. Neither of them went into production, but the Specter will. The first copies should be delivered in the last quarter of 2023.

The Specter will be on a completely new platform that, according to the brand, will not be used by other brands by parent company BMW Group. That basis must be the stiffest Rolls ever built for the Specter. The coupé probably mainly owes this to its battery pack, which makes the car 30 percent stiffer. In addition, the Specter zooms through the air very efficiently. The drag coefficient would be 0.25 (Cw), lower than any other Rolls-Royce. In addition, the Specter gets a roll stabilization system that should keep leaning in bends to a minimum. However, if the Specter is driving straight ahead, smart hardware and software are able to decouple the anti-roll bars so that the wheels on each side of the car move forward without movement in the body if a wheel hits an unevenness.
Rolls-Royce does not describe the Specter as an Electric Super Coupé for nothing. For example, the Specter gets the largest single piece of sheet metal the brand has ever pressed. It starts at the A-pillar and continues past the taillights and measures almost 4 meters. The Specter also gets frameless doors that open ‘inverted’. On to 2023.
