Rolls-Royce Makes Good Its Promise, Completes Testing of All-electric Spectre
Rolls-Royce has completed the testing of the firs ever all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre, the luxury car company announced in a statement on Tuesday.
In September 2021, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced it would launch its most important product since 4th May 1904, when the marque’s founders Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce agreed that they would create “the best car in the world”, the Rolls-Royce Spectre.
The new electric car was tested during winter covering 55km from Arctic Circle Spectre endures -40˚C temperatures at specialist facility in Arjeplog, Sweden.
“The announcement of every new Rolls-Royce motor car carries a great weight of expectation, explained Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, but Spectre is unquestionably the most anticipated product in the marque’s modern history. This is because it is much more than a product. It is a symbol for our bright, bold electric future, and it represents a seismic shift in our powertrain technology.
It is for this reason that we have created a testing programme that is as significant and historical as Spectre itself. The extraordinary undertaking of educating Spectre to think and behave like a Rolls-Royce will cover 2.5 million kilometres, which is a simulation of more than 400 years of use for a Rolls-Royce. Today, I can confirm that 25% of this journey is now complete, and the results have met our most ambitious expectations.”
