How to evaluate whether an electric car is a good product? Linear power output? Zero hundred acceleration of "bull break"? Far more than 100km cruising range? This may be part of evaluating a pure electric vehicle, but it must not be the whole story. But it is certain that after all, the price is in front of us, and everyone's requirements for ultra-luxury brands will be higher. Nowadays, many ultra-luxury brands have also transformed to electrification.
Recently, Report Auto obtained a test spy photo of Rolls-Royce's first pure electric vehicle Spectre, according to Rolls-Royce's plan, they will officially transform into a pure electric brand in 2030, this new car may be officially listed in 2023, and it is also the first step in the ultra-luxury brand's transformation into pure electric.
Interestingly, since the early days of release, it has been officially announced that Spectre will be built using the same aluminum luxury structure as Cullinan and the new Gust, in other words, the new car will be a "oil to electricity" model. The cost and technical level of electric vehicle platforms are high, and the first pure electric models of many traditional car brands are "oil to electricity". But in general, everyone will "hide" this established fact, and it is rare to have such a high profile as Rolls-Royce.
Judging from the spy photos, although it is wrapped in heavy camouflage, it can be seen that the overall shape of the new car is relatively smooth and low, and the double-door design and the sneakback shape highlight the appearance of a sports car. The front face of the new car still retains the iconic "temple-style" grille design, which looks very dignified and atmospheric. In the details, the vehicle adopts split headlights, the upper part is a slender LED daytime running light, and the lower is a group of far and near light headlights, which is full of technology.
On the side of the body, although the use of aluminum luxury platform, but because there is no 8-cylinder or 12-cylinder engine to occupy the position, the overall posture of the new car is more low, such a design although it looks more low-lying movement, but to a certain extent also squeezes the car seat space. However, for people who buy ultra-luxury brand models, as long as they look good, it is enough, and the second row is often a "decoration" like existence.
In terms of power, the new car will use the same power system of BMW iX M60, which can be completed in 4 seconds with zero hundred acceleration and a cruising range of less than 500km. Seeing such a mileage, everyone must be very disappointed, compared with the independent brand often more than 800km mileage performance, Spectre's performance is obviously somewhat unsatisfactory.
Although the endurance is rarely lacking, for rolls-Royce's first pure electric model, its advantages in design and power are also unquestionable, I don't know what you expect?
