₹7-9 crore, ex-showroom. Distinguishing itself from other Rolls-Royce models, the Spectre will abandon the traditional 6 ¾ V12 engine in favor of an electric motor on each wheel, making it a formidable 4WD vehicle. The EV coupe boasts a powerful 430 kW and 900 Nm drivetrain, propelling it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.

With a range of 323 miles (520 km) and a power consumption of 2.9 mi/kWh (21.5 kWh/100 km), thanks to a robust 102 kWh battery pack, the Spectre showcases impressive electric capabilities. The exterior design of the Spectre is a sight to behold, featuring the broadest Rolls-Royce grille ever seen. Illuminated by 22 LEDs, the iconic "Pantheon grille" serves as a reminder of the Spectre's electric nature.

The modified 'Spirit Of Ecstacy' contributes to aerodynamics with its narrower wingspan, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.25cd – making it the most aerodynamic Rolls-Royce to date. Rolls-Royce has embraced customization with the Spectre, offering a myriad of Bespoke options for the interior. The front seat design, influenced by British tailoring, allows for personalized touches like lapel parts in contrasting or complementary colors.

The Spectre can also be equipped with Starlight Doors, featuring 4,796 gently illuminated 'stars,' a first for a series production Rolls-Royce. In terms of technology, the Spectre introduces SPIRIT, the system handling vehicle functions and integrating with the Whispers application. This allows clients to engage with their vehicle remotely and access real-time information provided by luxury intelligence professionals.
