The luxury British brand has ruled out the possibility of the Spectre EV having a performance-crazed driving mode, but that doesn’t mean it won’t continue its legacy of a premium ‘Gulf Stream’ experience.
Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos stated that the Spectre EV would never offer a Ludicrous Mode like Tesla do. He further added that the first battery-electric vehicle with the The Spirit of Ecstasy atop the bonnet “will offer waftability in its most impressive form.”
The novel creation will be more focused around delivering a “true Rolls-Royce experience,” in the midst of the performance craze of new electric vehicles. Rather, Torsten Muller-Otvo stated that the new Rolls-Royce system known as “magic carpet ride” will offer an encounter similar to a Gulf Stream jet during takeoff.

The luxury British automaker has ambitions to become all-electric by 2030 and Muller-Otvos states that it is important to retain their clientele with the new form of powertrain. Fortunately, Rolls-Royce and their silent, plush but powerful operation lend themselves well to EVs which means that the primary concern with the novel Spectre EV is to deliver a “true Rolls-Royce experience.”
The newcomer is still in its testing cycle with testing and development not even at the halfway point. The Spectre EV is undergoing continuous refinement and is scheduled to complete 2,6 million km of mileage before the white suits will be satisfied with its longevity.
The first battery-electric model to roll off of the production line at the Goodwood facility in England is earmarked for launch in Q4 of 2023 so Rolls still have some time to iron some of the kinks out before final production schedules begin to loom. We will expectedly learn more about its powertrain and statistics in the coming months but our guess is that it may share similar performance to the Wraith coupe.
