Rolls-Royce Spectre Review – Living with £330k of Ultimate EV Luxury
The first fully electric Rolls-Royce, the Spectre. A true turning point in automotive history. And this isn’t just a new model — it’s the start of an all-electric future for the world’s most iconic luxury brand. But is it the right decision? And can an EV truly be called the “best car in the world”?
Welcome back to RBR guys! In this full review, we’ll dive deep into every detail of the Rolls-Royce Spectre — from its all-new electric powertrain to its groundbreaking design and legendary interior craftsmanship. We’ll explore how it carries forward the legacy of V12 masterpieces like the Phantom, Ghost and Wraith, while fully embracing Rolls-Royce’s bold plan to go 100% electric by 2030.
This is a new chapter not just for Rolls, but for luxury cars entirely — and today, we’ll unpack what it all means.
Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:
• Full walkaround of the exterior, including the new grille, subtle aero upgrades, and 23-inch wheels
• Technical breakdown of the dual-motor AWD system, 584HP, 900Nm of torque and 329-mile claimed range
• Under the skin: battery tech, weight, and chassis development on the bespoke aluminium spaceframe
• A full suspension and dynamics breakdown, including the Planar Magic Carpet Ride and 4-wheel steering
• Full interior tour with Starlight Doors, SPIRIT digital interface, and classic Rolls-Royce luxury cues
• And most importantly, a full driving review: does the Spectre still feel like a proper Rolls-Royce on the road?
Charles Rolls once predicted:
“The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean... They should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged.”
From the Phantom to the Ghost and Wraith, Rolls-Royce’s V12s weren’t just engines — they were the heart of the ‘magic carpet’ experience. So how do you recreate that without any engine at all?
Rolls-Royce isn’t dipping its toe in EVs — Spectre is the first step in a full transition. Every new model going forward will be electric, meaning this car has the weight of the entire brand’s future on its shoulders.
The Spectre runs a 102kWh battery with 584BHP through two motors — one on each axle — and weighs in at just under 3 tonnes. Yet, it still delivers 0–60 in 4.4 seconds. But more than numbers, it’s the feel that matters: the silence, the suspension, and that “magic carpet ride.”
With 4-wheel steering, predictive suspension, active anti-roll, and a bespoke EV platform, the Spectre has all the tools to deliver the signature Rolls experience. But is it enough to make you forget the beloved V12s?
Step inside, and you’d never guess this was electric. There’s no EV minimalism or gimmicks here — just pure Rolls-Royce luxury, from the Starlight headliner to the impossibly thick lambswool carpets.
While other EVs chase speed and range figures, the Spectre takes a different approach — focusing on isolation, grace and effortless wafting.
Let’s find out in today’s full review of the first electric Rolls-Royce — the Spectre.
