2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Review, Pricing, and Specs

Rolls-Royce will let you customize a Spectre pretty much any way you want. And that’s a good thing, because, with a price tag this high, we expect buyers will want something truly personalized.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

All Spectres will come with a dual-motor electric powertrain with 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. After taking the Spectre on a test drive, we estimate that the electric powertrain will move the 6559-pound coupe to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. You may scoff at that estimate and point to the Tesla Model S Plaid that hit 60 mph in 2.1 seconds in our testing, but we’d be quick to remind you that Rolls-Royce’s brand ethos is more about quiet cruising than mind-bending performance. Although sharp impacts will still make themselves known, Rolls-Royce has installed adaptive suspension to ensure an appropriately isolated ride over all but the biggest bumps and the engineers also made room for a massive amount of sound-deadening material to maintain a whisper quiet cabin. And oh how quiet it is. On the road, the Spectre is so silent inside that your ears pick up almost no sounds until you get up to 80 mph and the wind starts to only slightly penetrate into the tomb-like cabin.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The Spectre sports a 102.0-kWh battery borrowed from the BMW i7 which is estimated to provide a driving range of about 260 miles per charge. DC fast-charging is standard, but we’d guess that most Spectre buyers will have a charging system installed at their estates so they aren’t forced to wait around in the parking lot of a Walmart like the rest of us.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe

While the EPA hasn’t weighed in just yet, we expect the Spectre to receive fuel economy ratings of 72 MPGe city and 75 MPGe highway. When we get a chance, we’ll take the Spectre on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and update this story with test results.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The Spectre’s cabin offers space for four with bucket seats in both rows. Anyone who’s familiar with Rolls-Royce’s current interior design will find a similarly sybaritic one here, although the company has added several design features that are unique to Spectre. For example, in addition to the brand’s signature starry-night headliner, the Spectre’s door panels rock a similar twinkle with tiny LED lights sparkling in the area surrounding the armrests. We don’t yet know all the details or have a list of options and features but the Spectre should be available with a seemingly endless array of personalization options and material choices.

Infotainment and Connectivity

All Spectres come with a touchscreen infotainment system nestled into its finely-trimmed dashboard. A digital gauge display is standard too. The technology is well-integrated into the Spectre’s interior design and doesn’t distract from the ambiance. A Bespoke Audio stereo system is available and sports attractive aluminum speaker grilles.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Rolls-Royce offers several driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. For more information about the Spectre’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking
• Standard lane-keeping assist
• Standard adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature
