Rolls-Royce Spectre: First Look | Carfection 4K

[@einautofan6685]

In a Rolls Royce EV makes sense!👍 It's quiet and powerful! In a Rolls Royce you don't care about a cool engine sound anyway... So...😎👌

Du laberst scheisse

[@cashmsc]

EV for rolls Royce makes a lot of sense, and I think they’ve done a good job of making their EV feel like all their other cars, instead of making it radically different. I would love to see other manufacturers follow their lead and make more cars that feel like their existing cars instead of making things too revolutionary. Although with this said I think the rear is ugly, I think it looks like the Chrysler crossfire lol

[@Fr00stee]

the rear end is very similar to the ghost

[@Kat-Kobold]

Nissan made an EV like all their other Eco-Hatches with the Leaf, as did Mercedes with the EQ line sort of mimicking their GL line. It's not a unique practice, Rolls-Royce just did it particularly well.

A non-car related question - What's with the 2 wristwatches ? (One on each) 😅

[@seanhallissey4796]

generally when people do this, each watch is set to a different timezone. still a flex, don't get me wrong, but usually a timezone thing.

[@vadgama_nikz]

@@seanhallissey4796 i think the apple watch that he's wearing can mitigate that ? 😄 Just saying..

[@ThatRosco458]

I believe one is a mechanical watch for style and the other an Apple watch to track fitness, get phone notifications, etc. Personally I think it's weird but it's more common than you'd think

[@seanhallissey4796]

[@goodfest007]

I wear two ‘watches’ one an elegant conventional mechanical watch, the other apple device, a purely functional, for health, fitness and communication rather than a time piece - as already stated a more common thing. Think of it as an analog clock, in a car with a digital dash 🙂

[@johnsim3722]

Great to see another Carfection film! That is quite a Rolls Royce, but it's the bonnet length that really impresses me. I keep thinking they're getting closer and closer to the Thunderbirds cars with every new model they release, but I can't argue that it looks terrific. Yes, unmistakable that it's a Rolls Royce, but it's also absolutely modern looking without shouting that it is. Exceptionally well designed.

[@ByronWWW]

Wow you can change the wallpaper on the screen!

[@robert_muhin]

[@eikeholz]

It’s a very well executed variation on post opulence. The only things I don’t get are the headlights, why on earth did Rolls Royce dabble in 7series leftover’s? Oh and the booger greenish color just emphasizes money doesn’t buy taste.

I don't know how I feel about the split headlight design, because it reminds of the new 7 series. And if I was a buyer of a RR, I wouldn't like that resemblance.

[@avigator]

It is a rebranded i7. What do you expect?

[@TheCarKrazeOfficial]

I hate how they didn’t even try to hide the actual headlights

[@anandarunkumar7678]

I hate even more how they skipped talking about the headlights in the video

Reminds me of the last Jeep Cherokee. They tried to hide the lights in the face lift later on.

[@Hazdazos]

Imagine spending $500k on a new Rolls Royce and finding out it has the same headlights as a $90k BMW 7 series sedan or X7 SUV as well as probably a lot of other components underneath.

[@Darx97]

pagani uses mercedes engines, aston martin uses mercedes components too, do you still look at those as a lesser cars? there are other expensive cars that share things with cheaper ones, also rolls royce been doing the split headlights since 2003, the bloody new bugatti has the secondary key like a damn vw golf

How Abt u tell ur editor to show rear colors

[@mrturnup9185]

Amazing review!!

[@chadderton]

I think the Spirit of Ecstasy is leaning forward because, unlike the Phantom, it's on the curved front of the bonnet rather than the top of the grille. I quite like the profile, but the rear lights look like an afterthought and the double front lights need to be more cohesive IMO.

[@willblack2306]

Rolls Royce said they put in 860hrs redesigning and fine tuning it in a wind tunnel to make it slippery through the air. Sounds like overkill but that's the RR way!

[@Lukeywoodsey]

The spirit of Ecstasy had been redesigned, but other cars have smaller grills with it on the bonnet.

[@cheesepizza87]

Is Henry doing a video in the Valkyrie for hagerty or carfection !? Because I’m hyped

[@scottipippen6554]

[@bongobob7079]

The word you are looking for is poncey

[@henryandthehorses5085]

Ah. So Carfection uses the word "perfection" to build its name. I thought it came from the word "affection". This is my least favorite Rolls Royce so far. I think it doesn't have the flowy lines the other ones have, especially around the C pillar and the trunk lines, and that two tone splitting that makes the trunk line more obvious. Still, a magnificent, gorgeous car. One day, I'll be able to afford it and I'll start with the Phantom.

[@sergiosaunier]

If I could afford one, I'd start with the Wraith.

[@paulelverstone8677]

Finally; an EV that I don't mind being silent. Have reservations about the styling - the front looks a little less RR and a bit more BMW and you can leave the Spirit of Ecstasy alone. It's not meant to be dramatic or aggressive - it's meant to be beautifully representing momentum - just like the car...

[@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.

[@shogun2215]

Be that as it may, the way the split headlights are styled here look almost identical to the i7. In fact a lot of this car is recycled parts from different BMWs and Rolls-Royce.

[@implntd_kid1864]

“7-series coupe with RR badge” I remember when the Rolls-Royce symbolized luxury and richness. Rolls-Royce, who used to set trend, is jumping on the band wagon called Split Headlight Design…why? Just need v12 powerplanted Wraith and Dawn with proper “RR” look Some say that EV RR makes a sense but that opinion is incorrect real owners of RR want to feel richness that comes from 12-cylinder high displacement engine feeling

[@MadDaCube]

Huh? Split headlights have been all over RR design since the Phantom 7 dropped in '03.

[@implntd_kid1864]

@@MadDaCube We all know that starting with ‘03 phantom, has angular forms and distinct split headlights family looks. But starting with the 8th gen. Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan had an all-in-one headlight family look. And it was part of the "boldness in design" that they were proud of, and it was a new design language. (I didn't like it though) It's out of the blue that Rolls-Royce Spector suddenly went back to split headlight design

I do wish people would stop saying things like ‘position of the batteries as opposed to an engine’. The battery is the replacement for the fuel tank - the motor is the replacement for the engine! Also - I would be amazed if there is no cooling system for the motor - there’s one in the E-tron for instance.

[@CarYenta-1]

Exactly, all electric cars have one form of battery cooling or another involving air-water or air-air heat exchange

I love this car. I’ve got into EV’s over the past year and have ordered a Skoda Enyaq Sportline. But this would now be my dream car. I do wish they’d done a bit more with the dashboard though. I think the vents are looking a bit old now. It looks like a ten year old Ghost too. Why do a fat steering wheel too? Well, I can dream and do the lottery. But £50k on a Skoda is enough.

So now that the parent company dabbled in EVs it's time for RR to follow suit again with its series of models... since they're all pretty huge, pretty heavy and rarely driven outside of routes with charging stations nearby, it's a good option for proper silent and comfy and cosy vehicle from the brand.

[@DavidDatura]

It’s not as elegant or as classy looking as other Rolls Royce’s, especially the front-end and wheels, which are both very fussily styled. Not keen on the interior too much either, because of the many large flat screens dominating everything. I wish they were more hidden…until needed. It’ll date the interior quickly. As for the new EV platform? Just perfect for a Rolls! I just hope their other upcoming EVs will be more traditionally styled. Sorry, but it just reminds me of the chintzier looking Maybach/S-Class. Which Rolls’s never did previously 🤷‍♂️ still, I suppose I should hold final judgement until I see one in the metal.

I had the opportunity to drive the 102 EX Prototype back a decade ago and at the time, i couldn't understand why Rolls Royce wasn't jumping straight into EV's. It INSTANTLY made sense that a Roller would have an electric powertrain. Keep in mind that this was nearly 2 years before the Model S even launched so perhaps they were worried it wouldn't sell? Not sure, but the EV powertrain even in that development car was highly polished and very much suited the car. I mean, what's more luxurious than a Rolls Royce with MORE silence and LESS powertrain NVH and no shifts? I'm sure this will be fantastic. But not with that interior....

[@jo05dk]

Guess i will be easier to live with the many broken and occupied chargers around the world, if you're rich enough to have someone follow you with your other Rolls, or a flatbed.

[@shogun2215]

I was expecting so, so much better from Rolls Royce, but this Spectre is a lazy haberdashery of parts from BMW and RR. Lights that look almost identical to the i7; styled in exactly the same way, an interior lifted from the Ghost with a few extra LEDs and an extra, useless screen. An almost comically small radiator up front and a ghastly front bumper with all the exposed plastic...the fact the only 'new' thing that the Spectre offers is a colour coordinated knob is laughable. This is the worst Roller since the Camargue.
