A few days ago, a group of spy photos of Rolls-Royce Flash testing in the Arctic Circle were exposed. The BMW Group, located at the Arjeplog plant, 55 kilometers from the Arctic Circle, is where prototypes of electric vehicles undergo various evaluations under harsh conditions. The temperature in the area is only minus 40 degrees Celsius, which allows the vehicle to be tested on rough surface conditions. The new car will focus on the super luxury brand pure electric coupe market, launched in the fourth quarter of 2023.
In terms of exterior design, the Shining, like the Phantom, will adopt the shape of a two-door coupe and will adopt the iconic rear door design, the Parthenon grille will not disappear with the electrification of Rolls-Royce, it will continue to remain on its first pure electric model Flash, which is the brand's traditional preservation of design elements. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Shining will use a 23-inch oversized rim.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the Celebratory Goddess Logo of the Rolls-Royce Shining at the front of the car will adopt a new design with less air resistance.
It is understood that due to fundamental changes in powertrain technology, it is necessary to carefully consider every detail of the product before providing the product to the customer. To this end, Rolls-Royce designed the most demanding test program in history. Now that Arjeplog's testing is over, rolls-Royce Shining has completed a quarter of its test projects and will eventually complete 2.5 million kilometers of testing.
The Rolls-Royce Flash may share the BMW iX M60's electric drive system, which is expected to have a maximum power of 610 hp, a peak torque of 1100 Nm, an acceleration of 100 km/h in 4 seconds, and an EPA range of at least 450 km, which will provide no less power performance than the V12 engine and smooth transmission characteristics.
