The luxury manufacturer Rolls-Royce has confirmed to work on its own electric car. For the model, the BMW brand at the German Patent Office had the name “Silent Shadow”. But this name does not carry the first E-car of the brand, instead it listens to the name Spectre and comes to the road at the end of 2023. From 2030, the brand then only wants to produce electric cars.
In a historical announcement, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has announced the middle of the week that the road testing of the first fully electric vehicle is imminent directly. The CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Muller-OtvOs, praised the E-vehicle already in advance. So it is a vehicle, “which boost the global revolution of pure electric cars and creating the first and best – superluxurious product of its kind. This is not a prototype. It is a real vehicle that is tested in public “, according to Muller-ostvats in the announcement.

The Chairman of the Executive Board also gives way to make it clear from Rolls-Royce that the E-Drive is “more than for any other automobile mark”. Because “it’s quiet, refined and generates almost instantaneous torque that translates into tremendous power.”Something what you call at the British car manufacturer, Wafttability ‘. Furthermore, Muller-Otvokes that you have been experimenting with an electric powertrain for some time at Rolls-Royce. “In 2011, we presented the 102X, a fully functional, fully electric phantom. 2016 followed the fully electric 103EX, which represents our vision for the brand for several decades in the future, “says the CEO.
The car manufacturer gives you to understand that you are now ready to test the first fully electric Rolls-Royce in history on the street. Due to the upscale claim of its own customers, you will set the stromer to the test stand in every single aspect of the product. “To achieve this, we have developed the most demanding test program in the history of Rolls-Royce. We will cover 2.5 million kilometers – which corresponds to an average service life of more than 400 years for a Rolls-Royce – and we will travel to all four corners of the world to push this new car to its limits.” Announcement when announcing the first e-model from RR.
“You will see these test cars on the streets of the whole world. Keep looking for you – you will be obvious. You will be tested under all conditions and on each terrain on your several million kilometers long journey – that will literally catapult Rolls-Royce into the future.”- Torsten Muller-OtvOs, CEO Rolls-Royce
The Rolls-Royce Specttre build on the trademarked aluminum architecture, which was already presented in 2017. “Regardless of a group’s common platform strategy, we were able to integrate our plans for an electric powertrain into the original design of the architecture and ensure that this extraordinary new product meets the extremely high expectations of our customers,” says the CEO.
The electric car is nothing less than the beginning of a new legacy for the brand. Which is why this has also been given a completely new name: Spectre. Rolls-Royce indicates that Specter is the name “given to otherworldly beings who represent great power and appearance; Creatures of an alternate world who make their presence felt through fleeting manifestation. A ghost forces the world to pause. It dominates the space it occupies. It disappears as quickly as it appeared, leaving a trail of excitement, energy and intrigue in its wake.”

However, the Rolls-Royce is not only the brand’s first electric car, but also the basis for the complete electrification of the entire product portfolio by 2030. In 2018, a purely electric future from 2040 was promised. Until then, Rolls-Royce will no longer manufacture or sell internal combustion engine products.

Well … RR is a traditional brand, but such a Bohei to make an electrified combustion platform, I find more embarrassing. A pure battery platform also offers Z.B. Even more space in the interior. Sure, the old models were never cramped, but luxury defines a state beyond necessity. Of course, a completely new development costs more. But an RR customer certainly doesn’t want to buy a vehicle where the need to save was in any way involved.
