Rolls-Royce Spectre II: What’s new?
Changes to the Spectre Series II focus mainly on the mechanical rather than the visual. There’s a larger 112kWh battery pack this time. It uses a new battery architecture that is shared with the i8 and continues with a 400V electric architecture. The Spectre Series II continues with a dual-motor setup with one motor at each axle. Combined power output stands at 601hp and 1015Nm for the standard model, while Black Badge models develop 680hp and 1,110Nm in Spirited mode. Rolls-Royce claims a WLTP-certified range of 628km and 629km for the standard and Black Badge versions, respectively.
On the exterior front, the Spectre Series II remains largely unchanged from its predecessor. Because the Spectre was the second-most personalised car after the Phantom, it gets more customisation options this time around. Black Badge versions come with matte black exterior detailing as opposed to gloss black on the predecessor, even for the Spirit of Ecstasy. The interior, too, gets more material and personalisation options and an illuminated dashboard panel with 8,108 individual pixels.
Expect the Spectre Series II to be priced higher than the current model on sale, which retails at Rs 7.5 crore and Rs 9.5 crore for the standard and Black Badge versions, respectively. The current Spectre is the most expensive EV sold in India.
