In 1900 Charles Rolls stated that electric power was very well suited to his company’s cars. Fast-forward over a century and that prediction is coming true with this, the Rolls-Royce Spectre, the first ever fully-electric production ready Rolls-Royce.

[@leonlinton634]

I was worried considering BMW's recent design choices but this is really stunning!

[@brrrrr9999]

You can see a touch of BMW here with the split headlights and the size of the grille increasing, but that's it. RR was more conservative about it, thank god

[@Jaz-qn5tb]

@@brrrrr9999 but RR cars always had huge grilles

[@THESLlCK]

@@brrrrr9999 still looks terrible if you look at the current car

[@brrrrr9999]

@@Jaz-qn5tb I'll emphasize "increasing" in what I originally said.

[@DanA-pm2hl]

Same family, distant cousins

[@gradientO]

This already looks better than any luxury EVs

[@kcmia7774]

Well, it's a RR so yeah that's kinda the point. Lol

[@ridgefrost]

It better be, most other luxury EVs cost abt half or less what rolls royces cost

[@theoneaboveall6768]

By farrrrr

[@usemymalekarenvideo4983]

Rolls Royce needs to evolve to make something full size Suv like the Escalade

[@rahimi4762]

Cadillac Celestique?

[@iamadityaahir]

Can we just talk about the 'Quality Test' he did on the air vents!? That was too good!

[@Ollie2846]

Man what a amazing looking car. It has to be the ultimate in luxury. Plush interior,smooth ride,and no engine noise. I bet who ever is lucky enough to get one won't be disappointed.

[@The_journeyy]

*This is unreal how beautiful this car is* 😍

[@yissibiiyte]

Pretty much every single modern car: has the ability to change the colour of the dials as you please. Rolls Royce: never heard of it

[@NOXStellans]

The artistically illiterate masses can't be trusted to find the appropriate hue?

[@shogunero3.6]

U cant change them in any car ‘as you please’. In all those cars it changes depending on drive modes. RR does not come with drive modes so you have to stick with one color.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@shogunero3.6 alright "as you please" wasn't the right thing to say, but my point is they're still capable of changing colour. A 300k Rolls Royce not being able to is pathetic. And of course Rolls Royce have driving modes.

[@carloduroni5629]

In exchange, you get super-kitsch milky-way trim.

[@realtv101]

$375,000 car and you worried about some useless dial colors lol

[@shroomyesc]

Before anybody compares the headlight design to the new 7-series BMW. This may share internals with the electric i7 however I would like to remind you all that Rolls Royce has had split headlights with the real headlight under the running light since 2003. That is way before BMW ever had it.

[@TD1237]

This looks incredible. After seeing spy shots, I didn't have the highest expectations. Surprisingly, this looks great.

[@alvolante4164]

I liked it. Does it look to you a bit like a mustang. .. tail light?? 🤔 area…

[@TD1237]

@@alvolante4164 Yeah I suppose so. The vertical lights too. But this is more slopy than a Mustang. Still looks very Rolls-like to my eyes. :-)

[@hewitc]

Interior is garish. Back seats have no headroom. When you own a Rolls and invite your guests to sit in the back you don't want to remind them to scoot forward so their heads don't hit the ceiling.

[@jackbullock2580]

It looks stunning but I just can’t imagine how expensive it would be…

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

$375,000£

[@TD1237]

I don't think it matters since it's a Rolls Royce

[@ResevoirGod]

About 8 and a half Freddos in 2023

[@chamaldealwis9]

And how heavy it would be

[@phuketexplorer]

Watch the video. He says it's £375,000

[@ElectedNickNation]

One of the most beautiful vehicles I have ever seen

[@williamhuigens3192]

Oh man that looks bloody epic! Can't wait for the first hands on from you guys

[@DanielDuedu]

This might be the most economical Rolls Royce considering the running cost.

[@sephiroth533]

uhhfff...the audacity to put economical next to Rolls Royce

[@AshikJonathan]

@@sephiroth533 😂

[@stormwindchampion3992]

The actual Rolls Royce build jet engines, marine engines and nuclear reactors. Economical is very much part of their ethos. It very much makes sense RR Motors should follow their biological parent

[@hewitc]

@@stormwindchampion3992 That's a different company with the same name. Rolls is owned by BMW.

[@barryemery16]

Stunning car and once again brilliantly presented by Rory

[@alexanderlouie4134]

Makes sense for Roll Royce to go electric, you don’t drive a roll Royce because of the noise it’s engine makes, electrification may actually take Roll Royce to a new level of refinement, love it.

[@conner.9262]

Sensational… beautiful interior, quality of the highest level and design looks sleek hiding all that weight ! Gets my vote !

[@1010thechamp]

Yeah no doubt it is, BUT just looking at the video I doubt we get the full s ope.of the quality on offer.

[@etjulien]

So, basically, this is the new ev replacement for the Wraith, IMHO. If you didn't tell me it was an ev, I would not have known. Very well executed, Rolls!

[@sprezzatura8755]

Yes it has a lot of Wraith influence. It's as if they took The Wraith and sent it to Pininfarina to make it truly beautiful.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

The first genuinely good-looking Rolls in a long time!

[@hewitc]

This car is a Wraith with a cheaper looking interior.

[@brandywell44]

Jay Leno did a video on KZbin on early cars where he stated that in cars earlier days there was no set motive power for cars. There were gasoline, oil, electric and steam with no one car showing the future way, all had their merits. It is my belief the Rockefellers had a hand in forcing Gasoline as the prime choice. A sort of situation like VHS or Betamax of the 1990s.

[@curlsalot91]

BMW/Royce Designer made an astonishing design. Timeless

[@nelsonhollins]

Absolutely beautiful! Outstanding review! Very informative and much appreciated!

[@sompisiphinda1417]

[@mithilgarg6789]

It looks sensational. Best looking EV ever. I am out on words literally.

[@ah9337]

Taycan looks cool aswell

[@MrFatknacker]

Oh wow - that is frigging gorgeous! Electric power for a Roller makes perfect sense, but hope they have got the max charge rate to match that battery size…

[@7ludi]

Charging speed/rate will be similar to the i7 so around 200kW

[@reubs91]

I still don’t get why it makes sense to people. If you can afford one, you can afford the fuel. If you can afford one and the fuel, you can afford to put in zero emission fuel. If you can afford one and afford the zero emission fuel, you can probably afford to buy a couple of hundred acres to offset Co2 emissions it took to build the car. For all the superficial people it will go like this; ‘I’ll just hop out of my private jet I just took to holiday in Monaco, and I’ll just jump in my electric Rolls to make me feel better about the emissions I just made.’

[@MrFatknacker]

@@reubs91 - you assumption here seems to be that the motivation to drive an electric car is purely some sort of environmental statement - having both an EV and Petrol car, the EV gets driven more just because it is generally more convenient and certainly far more relaxing to drive.

[@reubs91]

@@MrFatknacker It is. Because a V12 is bliss to drive.

[@makisekurisu4674]

​@@reubs91why buys rolls royce to drive it though?

[@originalGFLEX]

It's an absolute beauty. The intricate detailing and craftsmanship is second to none. This car animates and projects it's superiority in the most serene graceful elegant way, with the presence assured to deliver on all counts, in firm keeping with the Rolls Royce tradition.

[@Car_Fanatic]

Love you man, I hope you do all the car reviews always. Beautiful bespoke art piece, only con was I wish the interior cluster and feel was more modern and not so stuck in RR history. Adding a new infotainment system is nice but the entire interior should have be updated to showcase a new direction

[@stevewarui92]

Oh the video is on another level. You do a great job Rory👍

[@Sum_Guy]

Everyone is trying to cut down on weight Rolls Royce - "we're going to use metal for the air vents"

[@A_S12042]

Lights remind me of the new 7 series. Probs not a surprise considering BMW own Rolls but would've thought they should have gone in a different direction...

[@BungoPls]

Why in the ever-loving HECK would they not let you change the dial colours from within the car?!?! The ENTIRE POINT of a digital driver’s display is that you’re not locked into a fixed set of dials!

[@nr5494]

Very imperious. I’m not convinced by the Henry Royce preferred electric, or that Rolls has retained the tunnel because people expect it though. That’s marketing spin. It’s there because it’s an ICE/EV platform.

[@markoluwamomi2007]

Absolute beauty this is!!!!

[@kiwi335d]

It’s a beautiful automobile Rory. Some of the panel gaps are a bit iffy, but I imagine RR will get that sorted for the production version.

[@michaelmontagu3979]

Panel gaps aren't that unusual in modern Rolls Royces. The Phantom often has some pretty wide ones. My old Silver Cloud III, 57 years old, has very narrow ones. Don't think I'll be swapping it for one of these. Absolutely hate the starlight roof and all the twinkling bits.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

This might make a good looking shooting brake with a bit more styling.

[@alko_xo]

And the interface of the infotainment system is just primitive.

[@talktorobi]

Fitting for our King Charles 👑

[@DanMosqueda]

I think a new State Coach based on this would be amazing to replace HM’s Bentley. I think electrifying the Mews should be a goal.

[@xtlmad]

great video and the most appropriated soundtrack to suit a rolls

[@AEKerr]

It's quite a Breath taking Stunning vehicle 🍾🍾🍾🍾🤯

[@paulmorris5866]

Such a long and rich history as Rolls Royce enters in to the electrification era it looks like the their future is well amd truly in good hands, of the modern rollers this has to be the best looking 👌🏻

Surely this is now the longest range Rolls Royce? Will have to go down to Mayfair to see and hear how it drives next year

[@nightman8612]

Thanks for the video. Car looks great. Outside is very distinctive, inside, not so much (plus, color and trim is reminiscent of the German football t-shirt)

[@petersmith5832]

As always, outstanding review.

[@francis5279]

The back tail is just right. I think the infotainment screen should be 30% bigger. It's a nicely designed car except the infotainment screen which should be bigger.

[@SuccessMalefa]

The audio is impeccable.

[@S.Madman]

It looks awesome, and the quietness of it will further elevate it. My only concern is weight. All Rolls are inherently heavy, so hopefully this is not heavier still.

[@P.M_M]

if they can fit batteries anywhere near like the new electric hummer they are sorted, and that thing can be classified as a lorry due to its weight

I'd really expect that after spending 375k on a car that I would be able to customise my instrument cluster colours whenever I wanted rather than choosing at time of ordering and then being stuck with it.

[@shoharasurahim4132]

Please make the headlights much larger... They are suitable for large behemoth like this...

[@smetljesm2276]

It's exxxcellent! I spot a cheap element though.😊 Black seatbelt on those white/brown seats 😅

[@JiPappaJi]

I can't seem to shrug off that RR picked the new BMW 7 Series and did a nip and tuck job to make it have a RR face. I'm talking only about the front of the car. Somehow, it doesn't wow me enough like Wraith or Ghost did, Phantom was in a different league altogether!
