Overview
The Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II represents the pinnacle of electric grand touring, building upon the foundations of the marque's landmark super-coupé. Positioned as the ultra-luxury flagship of the EV market, it fuses traditional Goodwood craftsmanship with state-of-the-art electric driving. The Series II update sharpens the car's dynamics, introduces advanced battery technology, and expands the scope for Bespoke commissions. Occupying a unique segment with almost no direct EV rivals apart from a top-spec BMW i7, Mercedes-Benz EQS or Lucid Air Sapphire, the Spectre Series II targets discerning buyers seeking uncompromised refinement, effortless authority, and near-silent driving in a commanding two-door fastback profile.
Design
Retaining its sweeping fastback silhouette, the Spectre Series II reinforces its visual presence with subtle exterior refinements. Up front, the imposing Pantheon grille features subtle illumination, flanked by the signature split headlight architecture. The aerodynamic Spirit of Ecstasy ornament sits lower on the bonnet to maintain an exceptionally low drag coefficient. Fresh exterior paint choices, including the newly introduced Ethereal Blue and deep Dark Emerald finishes, highlight the expansive hand-polished body panels. A hand-applied Mandarin shoulder coachline is available to accent the dramatic beltline. New 23-inch forged alloy wheels featuring a multi-spoke faceted design add to the car's powerful stance, with crisp hand-finished detailing that catches light across every angle.
Interior
Inside, the cabin remains an sanctuary of tranquility, combining classic analog luxury with modern digital integration. The Series II update introduces Duality Twill, a sustainable bamboo-derived rayon fabric embroidered with abstract interpretation of the iconic double-R logo across the seats and inner door panels. The signature Starlight Headliner and available Starlight Doors utilize thousands of illuminated fiber-optic points to create a bespoke experience. The digital interface is cleanly integrated into the Illuminated Fascia, allowing for seamless control over navigation and media without cluttering the layout of the dashboard with massive screens. Material quality is unmatched, incorporating book-matched wood veneers, Placed Perforation leather artwork, and heavyweight metal switchgear throughout.
Performance & Powertrains
Underpinned by the Architecture of Luxury platform, the Spectre Series II benefits from re-engineered battery cell technology that significantly boosts driving range and efficiency. In standard specification, the dual-motor AWD powertrain delivers 601 hp and 900 Nm of torque. The updated battery pack enables a maximum range of up to 390 miles, marking an 18% improvement over the original model. DC fast charging performance has also been optimized, now at 195kW, the total charging times reduced by 14% to make long-distance grand touring even more effortless. The Planar suspension system continuously monitors road surfaces to deliver the brand's renowned magic carpet ride.
Practicality
Despite its sporty fastback roofline, the Spectre Series II is a true full-sized four-seater grand tourer. Rear passengers enjoy generous legroom and easy access via the wide, rear-hinged, power-closing, coach doors. Luggage capacity is well-suited for extended trips, providing a deep, fully carpeted boot space capable of holding several large travel cases. Interior storage is thoughtfully designed, offering cooled center console storage, deep door bins, and dedicated compartments for bespoke umbrellas housed directly within the front wings.
Buying
Pricing for the Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II starts at approximately £330,000, though the vast majority of commissions exceed £400,000 once Bespoke options are specified. Customers can choose between the core Spectre Series II model and the more assertive, performance-oriented Black Badge variant. The EV Hub recommended configuration is the standard Spectre Series II.
