Although Rolls-Royce leaders insist that the Specter is not an electric version of the previous Wraith, it is hard to deny that the values this two coupe models bring will be somewhat similar despite the difference in powertrains.
This past week Autocar had the opportunity to approach Rolls-Royce Specter when the car started a testing program that lasted up to two years to ensure that the standards the car set did not damage Rolls-Royce’s reputation. The British newspaper even got a chance to test one of 6 experimental Rolls-Royce Specter operating globally.
In terms of size, the Rolls-Royce Specter is slightly superior to the previous Wraith and Dawn and seems to be on par with the coupe version of the Phantom (5.6 meters long, discontinued in 2016). Despite sharing the same chassis with the current Phantom/Ghost/Cullinan, Rolls-Royce Specter has a very different weight distribution when between the two drive axles is an electric battery weighing up to 700 kg, thereby forcing the British brand to rewrite it. entire vehicle design formula.
Sharing a little more about the above battery, Rolls-Royce technical director Mihiar Ayoubi said that the entire chassis where the battery is placed will be flattened to optimize aerodynamics. The position of the battery in the center of the car also helps them reduce headaches compared to the engine (which causes the weight to shift completely forward) by providing a better center of gravity and a compact body, directly providing comfort and convenience. better steering responsiveness.
Next, soundproofing the powertrain and cabin is also easier, helping Rolls-Royce reduce up to 120 kg of soundproofing materials/equipment used on Phantom.
Rolls-Royce Specter was confirmed to be equipped with 23-inch wheels at launch – the default size not seen on a coupe since the 1926 Bugatti Royale. The car’s powertrain configuration is a 2-motor type (one on each axle). form a 2-wheel drive system. Advanced technologies such as 4-wheel steering or active anti-roll are retained.
In fact, Rolls-Royce has been testing Rolls-Royce Specter for quite a long time at the Arjeplog test field, Sweden, but the above time is only to make sure the car can… go, the next 2 years period. to decide how the Rolls-Royce Specter will “run”.
All details such as doors, windows, heating / air conditioning or simply the rubber seal on the car will be closely monitored to make sure the Specter is a true Rolls-Royce and at the same time. meet the goal of a quietest cabin possible in accordance with electric vehicle standards for users.
Compared to the V12-powered machines from Rolls-Royce, the Specter has less mechanical equipment but the number of intelligent electronic systems increases sharply. The total length of wires on the coupe is up to 7,000 meters compared to 2,000 meters of common luxury cars.
The upcoming journey of Rolls-Royce Specter will bring the car to France, Dubai and then back to Southern Europe, Munich, Goodwood and then back to the starting point of Sweden. In total, the coupe will run about 2.5 million km and the number of test cars will increase from 6 to 25.
Rolls-Royce Specter will be launched in 2023 but it is difficult to deliver before 2024.
