It might sound strange, but the quirks that typically define electric vehicles (they’re more expensive than gas-powered cars, they’re quieter, they’re heavier) are also the things that make Rolls-Royces so fantastic. So the idea of an electric Rolls-Royce kind of just fits, doesn’t it? Rolls-Royce thinks so, and that’s one reason they’re transitioning the entire line-up to EV power by 2030 - and if the new 2024 Spectre, the first-ever electric Rolls-Royce and the tip of the spear of the oncoming wave of EV Rollers is any indication, electric power only makes Rolls-Royces more Rolls-Roycey.
This is perhaps the most extraordinary luxury car that our Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman has ever driven, he said. The Spectre is gorgeous, imposing, unbelievably opulent, and has a powertrain that’s absolutely, utterly silent. There’s never been a Rolls-Royce quite like it, and it sets the benchmark for luxury for anything coming after it. You never question why it costs nearly half a million dollars - that’s how special the experience feels behind the wheel.
So ride along with Aaron as he takes you on a spin with the new 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre electric coupe, and see what can arguably be called the best electric car on the planet feels like to drive!
