Rolls-Royce Spectre

2026 ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE 120kWh AUTO 4WD — UK SPECIFICATION

ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN AND DRIVETRAIN

The Spectre is Rolls-Royce's first series-production battery-electric motor car. It uses two separately excited synchronous electric motors, one on each axle, giving permanent all-wheel drive through a single-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is 430 kW — 576 bhp / 585 PS — with 900 Nm of torque available from rest. Drive is managed by Rolls-Royce's Planar suspension software, which reads the road and the steering inputs to keep body movement flat under power.

BATTERY, RANGE AND CHARGING

The battery pack is rated at 120 kWh gross and 105.7 kWh usable, and is structurally integrated into the aluminium spaceframe where it also serves as 700 kg of acoustic insulation. WLTP range is 329 miles (530 km). AC charging runs through a 22 kW on-board charger; on DC, Rolls-Royce quotes rapid charging up to 195 kW, with the advertised 10-80% replenishment taking around 38 minutes on a suitably rated public charger. Battery pre-conditioning is standard and is scheduled through the navigation system. CO2 emissions at the tailpipe are 0 g/km.

PERFORMANCE

0-60 mph takes 4.4 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). Insurance group is 50E.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

An aluminium-intensive spaceframe carries multi-link front and five-link rear suspension with self-levelling air springs and electronically controlled damping. Four-wheel steering is fitted. The steering is vehicle speed-proportional and power assisted. Braking is by ventilated discs with an electronically controlled braking system and regenerative recuperation. Turning circle is 12.7 m. This car runs 22-inch seven-spoke aero alloy wheels in a part-polished finish.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

Length 5,453 mm; width 2,080 mm; height 1,573 mm; wheelbase 3,210 mm. Kerb weight is listed at 2,975 kg — note that Rolls-Royce's own DIN figure for the Spectre is 2,890 kg, so the higher listed value should be treated as the EU figure including driver. Four seats, two doors. No verified luggage volume is recorded here: the source feed's boot figure did not reconcile against the manufacturer sheet and has been omitted rather than published as an estimate.

EXTERIOR

Finished in white with a hand-painted bespoke coachline carrying a floral motif along each flank. The illuminated Pantheon grille — the widest ever fitted to a Rolls-Royce, with 22 individually lit vanes — sits beneath the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. The two frameless coach doors are rear-hinged and power-operated with soft-close. Lighting is LED front and rear. The boot lid is power operated. The car is protected by paint protection film according to the seller.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

A four-seat cabin trimmed in two-tone white and turquoise leather with contrast piping. The roof lining is a Starlight Headliner — a fibre-optic star field set into the lining — and the headrests carry bespoke floral embroidery matched to the exterior coachline. Front seats are electrically adjustable and heated. Climate control is dual-zone automatic. Lambswool floor mats and illuminated tread plates are fitted, and a Rolls-Royce umbrella is stowed in the door. A Dynamic Bespoke Clock is fitted — an option Autotrader records as present on fewer than 10% of comparable cars.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

Rolls-Royce Spirit digital architecture, with a configurable digital instrument display and a central touchscreen running connected navigation with charge-point routing and battery pre-conditioning. Wireless smartphone connectivity, USB-C and DAB digital radio are fitted.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

Adaptive cruise control, collision warning, lane departure warning and lane change warning are fitted, alongside electronic stability control, traction control and tyre pressure monitoring. Parking is assisted by front and rear sensors and a reversing camera. Passive protection comprises intelligent driver, front passenger, side and curtain airbags, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, and ISOFIX mounting points. The Spectre has not been independently crash-tested by Euro NCAP.

REGISTRATION AND CONDITION

First registered 05 January 2026 on a 75 plate, showing 60 miles (97 km) at the time of listing. Because the car is already registered it is classed as used for import purposes in every destination market, and destination customs will assess its age from the January 2026 registration date rather than from the model year.
