The most expensive pure electric car in history is coming!
A few days ago, foreign media filmed a test video of Rolls-Royce's first pure electric coupe Flash (Spectre) camouflage car.
The car looks exactly like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the video shows its sprawling exterior. The Shining is Rolls-Royce's first pure electric car, released on September 29, 2021.
It is reported that the new car is based on the Rolls-Royce luxury architecture platform, and in terms of power, the maximum power is 610 horsepower and the maximum torque is 1015 Nm.
As a top luxury car brand, Rolls-Royce has announced that it will be fully electrified by 2030, which also reflects the irreversible wave of electrification to some extent.
First, the appearance resembles a phantom and the phantom is created on the same platform
The appearance of the Rolls-Royce Flash is somewhat similar to that of the currently available Phantom, which is a two-door coupe. The head of this car is still almost flat head shape. However, from the spy photos, Rolls-Royce's most recognizable goddess of celebration is gone.

It is reported that in order to meet the era of electrification, the celebration of the goddess logo will be newly designed, will be the first to be mounted on the Rolls-Royce Shining, the new car logo will also help it achieve ultra-low drag coefficient.
From the spy care, rolls-royce Shining adopts a split headlight design, which is also an increasingly common design method, and parent company BMW will also adopt this design in the next generation of BMW 7 Series, the new X7 and the plug-in model XM.
From the side of the new car, it still adopts a long hood design and a slipback shape, in addition, the side of the camouflage car is also pasted with "They are perfectly noiseless" stickers.
It is reported that The Shining also adopts a rear hinged door design, which is characterized by the fact that the door is opened backwards, so that the opening and closing angle of the door is larger and it will be more convenient for passengers to get on the car.
From the tail point of view, the tail of the Rolls-Royce Shining is more square. The design of the whole vehicle is biased towards movement, and the rearview mirrors and wheel hubs are all black, which has a strong sense of movement.
This all-electric Rolls-Royce Sparkle will be built on the same platform as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, using Rolls-Royce's exclusive aluminum architecture. According to foreign media reports, this platform can not only be applied to Rolls-Royce fuel models, but also to other power types.
Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-tv s has said that the Rolls-Royce Shining will share power with the BMW iX M60, with the dual-motor configuration giving it maximum power of 610 hp and maximum torque of 1015 Nm.
Foreign media speculated that because the test was in winter, the camouflage car used winter tires, and finally after the Shining was listed, it would switch to summer tires and wrap a larger set of alloys. As a result, the wheels of the final model were larger than they are now.
The Shining will be available at the end of 2023, and this pure electric vehicle will be the beginning of Rolls-Royce's full electrification. Previously, Rolls-Royce had announced that it would phase out the V12 engine and become an all-electric brand by 2030.
Second, the parent company BMW accelerated electrification MINI will also become a pure electric brand
Rolls-Royce has announced its determination to electrify, and parent company BMW Group is no exception, and is also in full swing to carry out the electric revolution.
Last November, BMW launched two important pure electric models BMW iX and BMW i4, this year bmw group will continue to expand its electrification lineup, official information shows that this year will be released BMW i7 and BMW iX1, BMW i5 will also be released in 2023.

At the same time, the BMW Group's MINI Countryman pure electric version will also be launched later.
Over the next decade, the BMW Group plans to deliver around 10 million pure electric vehicles worldwide. By 2030, MINI will become an all-electric brand, with the final fuel model released in 2025.
Conclusion: Top car companies enter the pure electricity market
Although Rolls-Royce has not officially announced the price of the Shining, from its brand positioning and the same level of fuel models, the price of this new car will probably exceed 5 million yuan after listing.
So far, the price of mass-produced pure electric vehicles on sale is within 2 million yuan. For example, Tesla Model S and Model X are priced at one million yuan, and the most expensive version of the Porsche Taycan is about 1.8 million yuan, which is obviously not the same order of magnitude compared with the Rolls-Royce Shining.
This can also be seen that the pure electricity market is constantly developing and mature, and the price and positioning of models are constantly enriched, providing different choices for different consumer groups.
