Rolls-Royce is giving buyers of its electric car more of everything with the newly unveiled Spectre Series II.

The new model gets more range and power, and quicker charging compared to the original Spectre, as well as new bespoke customization offerings.

The original Spectre was introduced in 2022.

New powertrain

The Spectre II is available with two electric powertrain choices.

The standard choice gives the luxury coupe outputs of 593 hp (442 kW) and 749 lb.-ft. (1,015 Nm) of torque.

Moving up to the Black Badge Spectre II unlocks the most powerful Rolls-Royce yet.

The Black Badge car’s Infinity Mode increases output to 670 hp (500 kW), while Spirited Mode increases torque to a colossal 811 lb.-ft. (1,100 Nm).

More range, less charge time

Improvements were also made to driving range and charging speeds.

The car now has an estimated driving range of 628 kilometres on the WLTP test cycle observed in Europe. That’s up 18 per cent over the original Spectre. By our more stringent EPA standards, that should translate to somewhere around 538 kilometres.

Charging times are also reduced by up to 14 per cent, Rolls-Royce said.

Bespoke options expanded

Rolls-Royce said the Spectre received the second most Bespoke commissions in the automaker’s vehicle lineup, behind only the Phantom.

The automaker fitted the Spectre II with a new suite of elements, materials and finishes, giving buyers even more options to express their individuality.

One set of materials, called Duality Twill, a rayon fabric made from bamboo, is now available on the Spectre for the first time.

The material is embroidered with a “Duality” graphic that is an abstract interpretation of the automaker’s letter R initials.

On the Spectre II, a Duality Twill interior has 2.6 million stitches, 10 miles of thread and requires up to 25 hours of work. The textile is available several colours, including Lilac, Chocolate, Black and newly introduced Sage. The Sage colour is a cool, verdant green.

Black Badge Spectre Series II visual changes

The Black Badge version of the car gets unique exterior elements.

A matte finish is applied to the grille surround, sideframe finishers, bumper inserts, the Double R badge side surround, door handles and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.

The Black Badge car also has new wheels that are intended to show off the large brakes even more.
