The $413,000 Rolls-Royce Spectre is not the world's most expensive electric vehicle (that title goes to the $2.4 million Rimac Nevera hypercar). Nor is it the fastest. Its EPA-estimated range of 260 miles falls short of the industry-leading Lucid Air Grand Touring ($154,000), which gets 516 miles on a full charge.


quote:

"Demand has been incredible. While we haven't even shown Spectre publicly, we have more hard orders already than we had in total for Dawn or Cullinan," Martin Fritsches, president and CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars America, told ABC News, referring to the company's convertible and SUV models. "We have already seen hundreds of our clients visit the Bespoke design studios in Goodwood to start configuring their Spectre commission."


quote:

The 6,559-pound coupe sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and delivers 664 ft-lb of torque and 577 horsepower. Designers gave the Spectre 23-inch wheels along with the widest grille ever put on a Rolls-Royce. Even the brand's famous Spirit of Ecstasy mascot got a makeover: The figurine was remodeled to have a lower, more dynamic stance that's also aerodynamic. Moreover, Spectre is the first Rolls to offer Starlight Doors, which add 4,796 illuminated "stars" to the interior.

Although personally I think they took the design cues from FAB1 in the Thunderbirds:

When you have a Rolls you don't need range. You just need it to get you from your villa to your private jet.

I know it's the OT and not Poli but this infuriates me. This is the literal definition of Limousine Liberals. These frickers will buy this car that costs most peoples 5 years salary and then think that qualifies them to opine on our choices.

The old billionaires here in SWFL will be all over this, so they can piddle around, go to Dr's appointments and generally complain about everything, while pretending to help the environment.

Sounds like something a liberal would complain about.

True OT ballers don’t drive; we have drivers.
