    Rolls-Royce Spectre Kicks Off The Brand’s Electric Future

    It aims to be the pinnacle of electric motoring.

    The first-ever electric vehicle from Rolls-Royce is official and they are extremely proud of the Spectre.

    It aims to be the pinnacle of electric motoring thanks to, the company claims, the most exhaustive testing procedure of any car it’s ever launched – the equivalent of 400 years’ use for a Rolls-Royce.

    The company’s mission is to become fully electric by the end of the decade and it believes the instant torque, silent running, and “the sense of one imperceptible gear” perfectly fit its own virtues.

    The Spectre is a coupé and will be positioned as a spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe in the marque’s lineup and will effectively take its role. Rolls claims that this car joins an entirely new automotive segment – the ultra-luxury electric super coupe segment.

    Design-wise, the Spectre doesn’t look dramatically different compared to other RR products, though it introduces the widest grille ever installed on a Rolls from the factory. That grille is softly illuminated by 22 LEDs and above it is an aerodynamically optimized Spirit of Ecstasy figurine. At the rear the tapering tail features elegant LED lights set as far apart as possible, with the top of the boot lid merging seamlessly into the rear window.

    Hop inside and you will see pure Rolls-Royce, but updated with clever use of the latest lighting technology across the dash, doors and, of course, the roof. There is also a completely new digital architecture named SPIRIT that controls everything from the electric powertrain to the car’s remote app, which is called Whispers.

    The ultra-luxury electric super coupe uses the latest version of Rolls-Royce’s four-wheel-drive Architecture of Luxury, which caters for electric power as well as internal-combustion engines in the existing product line-up.

    Many of the car’s specs have yet to be confirmed, but the powertrain provides 576 hp (430 kW) and 900 Nm (667 lb-ft) of torque, with the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time likely to be 4.5 seconds.

    There’s no word yet on battery size, either, but with an expected range of 515 km (320 miles) and efficiency of 2.9 miles/kWh, that would mean a battery of around 100kWh.

    These are all impressive numbers but the Spectre won’t focus on performance or efficiency. Instead, it will deliver the most luxurious feeling behind the wheel and the new Planar suspension surely helps with that mission.

    The first deliveries of the new car are expected to be a year away, at the end of 2023 with pricing will sit somewhere between the Cullinan and the Phantom.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
