The British ultra-luxury brand Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, owned by the German BMW, has confirmed the name of its first electric car model, Spectre, along with a late 2023 arrival date and more details. Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten M\u00fcller-\u00d6tv\u00f6s stated that by 2030, Rolls-Royce “will no longer be in the business of producing or selling any internal combustion engine products.”<\/p>\n
M\u00fcller-\u00d6tv\u00f6s described it as the most significant day in Rolls-Royce automotive history since May 4, 1904, when Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met, agreeing to create “the best car in the world.”<\/p>\n
The Rolls-Royce Spectre, a coupe, is expected to be the first regularly produced Rolls-Royce electric vehicle. However, it is not the first time Rolls-Royce has considered electric vehicles as the future. The company’s founders were enthusiasts of electric vehicles, with Royce being an electrical engineer who supplied electric motors, dynamos, and winches.<\/p>\n
The Spectre will undergo a testing program covering 2.5 million kilometers (almost 1.6 million miles) simulating over 400 years of use.<\/p>\n
Rolls-Royce’s move towards electric vehicles aligns with the broader direction taken by BMW Group since 2019, emphasizing electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
While Rolls-Royce has not been explicitly aligned with an all-electric future over the past decade, recent developments signal a significant shift. The separate Rolls-Royce company, which split from the automaker in 1971, produces aircraft engines and recently achieved a milestone with the electric aircraft “Spirit of Innovation,” featuring the highest energy density battery pack ever assembled for an aircraft.<\/p>\n
This move reflects the electric vehicle revolution envisioned by Rolls and Royce over a century ago, taking on a new dimension they might not have anticipated. It signifies a pivotal step towards the future of electric mobility.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
