You continue to make the best automotive reviews on KZbin. Summed up this car brilliantly as I’m sure you’ll continue to do in the future with others. All the best Sam.

Well done sir. The RR definitely suits your style, sophistication and elegance.

i never saw the spectre’s new bmw x7 / i7 design language until now. those headlights are screaming bmw. . good review btw

[@allensaunders449]

You just want to see that Most things about the car are bespoke to rolls

[@nikatan001]

Headlights = BMW, absolutely

[@stevemurrell6167]

Nah. BMW just own Rolls, they don't design them.

[@Maurice_Moss]

Disagree, Rolls have had a spilt headlight design since the Phantom. The Spectres headlights are just an evolution.

[@quintongrand]

@@Maurice_Moss which phantom?

[@Simon_PieMan]

Wow, that hotel sure is RR prices - lovely though. Great car and video.

[@Lou-f]

Excellent video Sam, more to this car than just a power train swap clearly. So will this type of driving tune come to the i5?

Hi Sam, just purchased one of your black STG t shirts. My first bit of Merch from you coming. Keep up the great videos as always 👍🏼👏🏼

[@conner.9262]

Great video Sam, car is sensational, obviously there are glimpses of the Wraith due to its coup styling, the vertical rear lights are sheer class, the whole car is class…. My lottery winning car also…. Yes please.

[@stevemurrell6167]

A very calming video....what a car!

[@theseb1979]

My ioniq 5 also has a functional grill (at the bottom). It opens and closes depending on whether it wants cooling. Basically the same car as this one.

[@kieranscrutton6037]

There’s an exact spec’d one in Monaco I saw couple weeks ago, same interior as well, only difference I saw was it being left hand drive

[@truckatadders]

I've seen a couple out on the road, and i love the proportions compared to the wraith, in that colour/spec i think it's a stunning car ❤😍

[@jkldeer]

Hey Sam, lovely video as always. Is that a Breguet Type 20 on the wrist?

[@TomOKelly-he5js]

Great video as always To the car, dream stuff unless you have an enormous bank balance. For daily use. at leas tin London. Size will likely be an issue - its longer and wider than the parking bays. So, even perfectly parked your going to get tickets by the bucket load...... Yup if one can buy the car, one can afford the fines but the hassle involved is likely too much for someone busy enough to be able to afford one.....

[@chrishewson40]

absolutely love it, perfect, exactly how I'd have it. I'd happily buy the one your driving as it is.

[@UnaStamus91]

Seen one of these in person on the expressway. The sheer size and presence was unreal. It is insanely beautiful

[@Alex_Fung]

Does this have rear wheel steering to make turning easier in the city? Does Sam actually message back? Just curious.

[@iantovey7132]

Great review yet again Sam. What a car!

[@Lucan-ve6zc]

Great video. Sam is one of the best. Whatever the situation, the content's brilliant. Apologies to those who like it. I thought that the car was, at best, described as ghastly. No doubt the drive is good. Which it should be for the money. It had all the style of a Greggs sausage roll. Vegan or otherwise.

[@suspiciousafternoon]

Great video man! Not really a fan of the white with purple combo, but white with tan would've just been gorgeous. Overall really handsome car though. I wonder what Bentley's response to this will be?

[@zzhughesd]

Amazing to get this STG !!!! On trial. Seen one in Alderley riding past. Does look like old Phantom Coupe in form factor. Aha. Watching video. You mentioned it. That and the fact listened POD other day and probably said it there too. What a chunk of car. Purple really suits it. Brightens up the UK a little

[@robt8620]

I enjoyed driving my 2010 Phantom Coupe which was compared to the spectre about 13cm longer but 3 cm narrower... the size would shrink around you

[@Alex42069420athered]

I love the car love the colors inside and out, but one this I think they missed was the color of the seatbelts. If your going to be bold with other elements having them purple change the belts as well

[@erezyoal]

From the 72h how much Time the car spant on Charging ?

[@jeremybetts5287]

Nice thumbnail! ....I drove right past you as you were setting up the camera. I'm lucky enough to live on the private estate. Tbh, I was full of mock and scorn as I drove by. A purple roller?! Now I know....makes more sense for a press car. I can appreciate the colour but it's pretty lairy. Couldn't believe it when I saw the thumbnail! I would have stopped briefly to say hi. Been watching for years. FYI, there are some even better thumbnails to be had on the other side of the lake. If you're down this way again, feel free to reach out. But anyway, great review. Air suspension was defo the way forward on the roads around here!

[@colinpeters3809]

Sam, love the review but where did you get your jacket please.

[@GT380man]

I would also like to know that. It’s a good look. Not only the colour but the cut.

[@hudsonspecialistcarsltd]

Looks perfect as a EV - only negative I could throw would be the interior, very little change from a 2010 Ghost.. would have thought RR might have updated / been slightly braver.. perhaps look at the Bentley Continental interior as a comparison, far more tech, details & design flare.

[@EhabAboud]

perfect car to record a podcast in :)

[@GM-fh5jp]

It's a fabulous machine and worthy of the R/R name. Wouldn't mind seeing it with dark blue paint replacing the purple livery, the interior is sheer car pr0n :) Thanks for posting!

[@thomasleworthy5613]

I sat in one of these at Salon Prive last year and I was shocked they left the indicator stalk and gear selector finished in plastic. Every other review of this car, including this one, has shown it is like this in all the cars. Rolls Royce even managed to wrap and stitch leather around them except for the part you actually touch. I'm probably not in any position to complain as I am in no position to buy one but you cant help but feel disappointed that they missed a detail.

[@tonymoreton7166]

I assume there is the other plus of spending £420k on one of these. It's 'free' to amble around central London?

[@sllc1081]

Long form STG video yes please

[@lloydbellis7360]

Probably the only EV I would buy if I had the money. Great content Thank you 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@towerdave4836]

Never thought I’d want a Roller. ……Until now. I’ve watched loads of videos about the Spectre. This is the best and now I’ve finally decided I want one. However, in common with other “ I want” cars, I’ll never have enough to justify the cost and my life style wouldn’t know what to do with it. Maybe just looking at I and sitting in it would be enough!

starting up the car sounds like starting up a windows on PC lol

[@donoconnor4204]

Question I have is, if the battery is worth 80% of the value of the vehicle as in most electric cars! How much would it cost for the new battery replacement after the 100,000 miles on the rolls?

[@simonsauter3229]

It’s the Rolls Royce for Miami. I like it 👍

[@Bmontepeque11]

Ah yes, the most unbelievable, most spectacular EV released to this day. 🧐💜 This car is a masterclass in how to make the transition to EV. No futuristic or techy nonsense, just do what you have been doing to this day just with batteries instead of with petrol :)

[@don911donny9]

That’s the wonderful thing about a modern day Rolls, it suits all people from all backgrounds; remarkably a car of the people if you will.

[@GT380man]

[@matthewgodwin3050]

That purple leather! Wonder if it was specked by Elton John.

Break pedal is a steal from Tesla, not sure how much additional thought was added.

[@jansen1975]

Give it an extra set of front wheels and it could be Lady Penelope’s Fab1 car…

[@edkingofnarnia]

Wish Tony took it for a spin around the block😅

[@gavinsullivan9015]

One pedal driving is the best thing about EV’s otherwise the power trains are exceedingly well suited to town driving and are otherwise completely characterless in whatever application they’re used. Although the Hyundai N jobby is apparently doing a good job of trying to fix that

[@alanzyoutube]

That's a great car, the purple is a great colour also, what was under the bonnet though, you didn't show that.

[@Speednote10]

There's just a big cover directly under the bonnet which hides electric components etc, so no storage or anything like that.

[@MM-xr6tz]

One chefs tandoori special please, a fish amritsari accompanied by pilau rice and a naan bread. Excuse me, this is a Rolls Royce dealership sir! Apologies, for a second I thought was in my local up market takeaway.

[@roblogan6703]

The really nice thing about EV's is that they don't require the kind of maintenance that an ICE car does, and I remember a lot of people saying that's why they don't like the other RR cars. No oil change, no transmission to deal with. I think that's its biggest selling point over the others.

[@gregorygant4242]

Um ,yeah ,ok until that battery gives up then that's 100 K to replace thank you very much !

[@roblogan6703]

@@gregorygant4242 $100k? Yeah, I mean this is RR. I was talking about EV's in general. I have a Tesla Model Y and it's only like $12k at most, which I don't ever anticipate having to replace mine unless I keep it for 20 years.
