"It has to be a Rolls-Royce first, and an electric vehicle second. That means no compromises anywhere, in quality, in driving, in design…everything." Rolls-Royce's CEO, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, says this is the most important thing about the company's first full-production electric vehicle (EV), the Spectre. A fully-electric Rolls-Royce is the obvious thing to do. Arguably no other brand in the upper-crust.
The British luxury car maker says the aerodynamic battery-powered fastback is undergoing 388,000 miles of testing in an area where it will likely prove popular when on sale next year.
The all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre has concluded winter testing 55km from Arctic Circle. Temperatures at the facility used by the marque, located in Arjeplog, Sweden, drop to -26 ˚C (-14.8 ˚F) and are further cooled to -40 ˚C (-40 ˚F). The EV has completed 25% of its 2.5 million km testing.
