A few days ago, foreign media released a set of spy photos of Rolls-Royce's new pure electric car Spectre Shining, so that people have a further understanding of this epoch-making Rolls-Royce.
Usually, spy cars use heavy camouflage camouflage on the body in order to hide the design features, but Rolls-Royce does not seem to want to deliberately hide anything through camouflage, but uses graffiti-style camouflage, and the camouflage is also printed with various slogans, such as the words on the front face: DOES NOT EXIST – non-existent, with such a British humorous way to intentionally or unintentionally reveal the shining information.
In fact, for Rolls-Royce, it doesn't matter whether the Shining has spy photos or not, after all, there has been too much information about this car before, its front face retains the traditional design of Rolls-Royce, the body is more like a GT coupe, without the boxy feeling of Rolls-Royce, and even in the handling of the tail line, some like Bentley, some like Jaguar.
This kind of head and tail like a body designed by different people, although to a certain extent, it is also a breakthrough, but it is less of the aristocratic temperament of Rolls-Royce in the past, but as long as Rolls-Royce and potential owners approve, any opinion from the outside world is just a noise.
The Shining will use Rolls-Royce's ALP platform, the Architecture of Luxury Platform, which is also used by the Latest Mirage and Ghost. The news is that the new Shining will share the powertrain with the BMW iX M60, which can reach a maximum power of 610 hp and a maximum torque of 1100 Nm.
However, the 111.5 kWh battery pack used by the BMW iX M60 is definitely a big one, and for Rolls-Royce, the Shining must make a trade-off in terms of range, that is, the size of the battery pack, and the luxury and sport of the vehicle. If you use a large battery pack, the weight of the new Shining and the limitations of the overall layout are bound to affect the performance, but if you use a smaller battery pack, the battery life is a very real problem, but the use of the Shining should not always be a long trip.
According to the official information of Rolls-Royce, the new Shining will be released in 2023, and it will be officially listed in 2024, and the Chinese market must also be one of its important towns, looking forward to the arrival of the green brand Rolls-Royce.
