Quick Review of Rolls-Royce Spectre – Ultra-Luxury Electric Car Starting From 18 Billion VND

After 4 months since its launch in the Southeast Asian market, the Rolls-Royce Spectre electric luxury car has officially entered the Vietnamese market with an “unbelievable” price compared to other Rolls-Royce models currently sold in Vietnam such as the Ghost, Phantom, and Cullinan. Specifically, the Rolls-Royce Spectre in Vietnam has a starting price of only 17.999 billion VND – excluding personalization options.

Modern design that still maintains the British aristocratic style

The design of the Rolls-Royce Spectre will make viewers amazed from the first glance when this electric luxury car has a new look but still retains the elegance, class, and exquisite sophistication of Rolls-Royce.

The characteristic details of Rolls-Royce are still present on the Spectre: the Pantheon electric grille, the Spirit of Ecstasy logo, and even the RR logo always stays upright when the car is rolling, or the characteristic reverse-opening doors…. However, this does not mean that the Rolls-Royce Spectre does not have its own distinctive features.

Specifically, it can be seen that the grille is neater and has an additional hidden LED lighting system inside, creating a three-dimensional effect for the front of the car when moving in the dark. Even the daytime running lights are designed to be slim and connected to the grille, creating a seamless and angular feel for the front of the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

In addition, the Spirit of Estacy emblem has also been redesigned to fit the overall design of the car and embody the philosophy of change and upward ascent of Rolls-Royce Spectre.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre has the shape of a fastback, so the rear of the car is sloping according to the C-pillar, making it both luxurious when viewed from the front and sporty when viewed from the side of the car. In addition, the absence of the B-pillar also makes the design of the Spectre more attractive and convenient when entering and exiting the car from the second-row seats.

Inside the Rolls-Royce Spectre is still a luxurious space with details covered with premium wood and leather. What is special is that the interior design of the Rolls-Royce Spectre retains the traditional essence of the luxury car brand from the UK with familiar knobs and buttons that help owners of this luxury electric car not have to get acquainted from scratch.

Some other noticeable differences on the Rolls-Royce Spectre are the dashboard panel on the passenger side can be customized into a LED screen displaying starry sky and the Spectre logo. Besides, digital technology is also introduced to customize the color display on the screens inside the car according to the preferences of customers.

If the starry sky is a highlight on Rolls-Royce cars, then in the Rolls-Royce Spectre, it will not be an exaggeration to say that passengers are immersed in the Milky Way with LEDs scattered around the car’s interior. This will bring a new experience to those who own the Rolls-Royce Spectre. Moreover, the starry sky on the ceiling and doors of the car is a standard feature, not an option on all Spectre models.

With a wheelbase length of over 3.2 meters, the Rolls-Royce Spectre provides a spacious environment for passengers in the front seats. However, due to the sporty fastback design, the headroom for the second-row seats is slightly limited.

According to Rolls-Royce, about 40% of customers who buy the Rolls-Royce Spectre are under 45 years old. It can be said that the Rolls-Royce Spectre brings an entirely new experience to the younger customer segment of Rolls-Royce thanks to the electrification trend, elegant yet sporty design, and especially a deep respect for the British aristocratic heritage.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre electric car with impressive performance

With 2 electric motors, the Rolls-Royce Spectre can generate a maximum power of up to 577 horsepower and a maximum torque of 900 Nm. Thanks to this, despite a weight of over 2.9 tons, the Rolls-Royce Spectre can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.

It is worth mentioning the 102 kWh battery pack placed under the floor of the car, which allows the Rolls-Royce Spectre to maintain a balanced weight distribution and low center of gravity, ensuring stable handling at high speeds compared to internal combustion engine models.

With a length of over 5.2 meters, the Rolls-Royce Spectre can still ensure flexibility in operation thanks to the rear-wheel steering system. This technology allows the car to adjust the direction of the rear wheels based on the speed of the vehicle to optimize cornering stability at high speeds or optimize maneuverability in urban areas at low speeds.

In addition, the adaptive air suspension system is also a standard feature of the Rolls-Royce Spectre, ensuring a smooth ride even with 23-inch wheels.

According to reviews from those who have test driven the Rolls-Royce Spectre, this pure electric luxury car has taken the serene driving experience to a new level by completely eliminating physical noise from internal combustion engines. This promises to be an elevated experience for Rolls-Royce’s high-end customers.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre has an additional B-driving mode optimized for regenerative braking and allows the driver to easily control the speed of the car with just one foot. Specifically, when shifting into B-gear, the car will use the electric motor as an active braking system to reduce the speed of the car and reverse-charge the battery. With the B-gear, the Rolls-Royce Spectre will be easier to control, more energy-efficient, and safer in both flat and hilly road conditions.

Rolls-Royce Spectre priced at nearly 18 billion – A great opportunity for Vietnamese tycoons

Thanks to not being subject to special consumption tax like internal combustion engine models, currently, the Rolls-Royce distributor in Vietnam has offered a price of 17.999 billion VND for the Rolls-Royce Spectre electric luxury car. This can be considered a good price at the moment to own a Rolls-Royce with the latest electrification technologies from the UK.

According to unofficial information, Vietnam has had 4 customers who have placed orders for the Rolls-Royce Spectre, and these cars will gradually arrive in Vietnam in 2024. After January 12, 2024, customers who have ordered the Rolls-Royce Spectre may have to wait until 2025 to receive their cars.
