As early as 2011, Rolls-Royce launched a pure electric vehicle 102EX, which is a prototype based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom (Phantom), equipped with a pair of electric motors, a maximum power of 389 horsepower, equipped with a 71 kWh battery pack, and a range of only 124 miles (200 kilometers).
In 2016, Rolls-Royce launched its second pure electric concept car, the 103EX, which was quite exaggerated in shape and caused a sensation at the time. The launch of this car marks a new stage in the development of rolls-royce pure electric vehicle projects.
Five years later, Rolls-Royce finally came up with a mass-produced pure electric car, the Spectre (Shining), which will be officially launched on the market in 2023. Judging from several official pictures of the test car, many people will think that this is the oil-to-electricity version of The Phantom, and indeed, from the body size, the two cars are very similar, but the Shining is not as simple as the Phantom of oil to electricity.
The Rolls-Royce Shining, along with Gust and Phantom Hospital, uses the latest luxury car platform, while the Phantom is built on the BMW platform, and the two are fundamentally different.
Regarding the new Shining car, Rolls-Royce has not yet revealed more details of the parameters, but said that it will cover 2.5 million kilometers of global test mileage, equivalent to the accumulated mileage of a Rolls-Royce driving for 400 years.
Starting with the Shining, Rolls-Royce will enter the electric age, and by the end of this century all products will be electrified. I have to say that this camouflage pattern of the Shining is still quite cool, if the new car also provides this paint optional, Xiaobian feels that it must be a hot seller.
