“Spectre has been created with the same legacy that defines
every Rolls-Royce. As the first of its kind, it marks a distinct
moment in our history. Our clients understand this intuitively and
commission Spectre as a Rolls-Royce to be admired and passed down
for generations. This was reflected in its reception: Spectre was
our most successful coupé launch to date.”
Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Spectre is increasingly recognised by
clients and collectors as a motor car of lasting significance.
Commissioned with the same permanence that defines every Rolls-Royce,
Spectre and its Black Badge alter ego have rapidly established their
place within the marque’s emerging Goodwood-era collector canon.
Spectre’s status as a future classic was evident from the
outset. In its first full year of availability, it outperformed both
Wraith and Dawn in their debut years – clear evidence that clients are
embracing Spectre as an authentic and desirable expression of the
marque’s legacy. Many collectors with established Goodwood-era
portfolios now regard Spectre as an essential addition, confirmed by
its global popularity: it was the second most demanded Rolls-Royce
motor car worldwide in 2025.
2025 also marked the debut of a number of highly Bespoke
Spectres, signalling that many are choosing to commission Spectre as a
long-term emotional asset, rather than a short-term acquisition. These
include Spectre Bailey, a joyful and deeply personal tribute
to a client’s beloved dog; and Spectre Soulmate, commissioned
to honour the shared journey of a couple whose lives have long
intersected with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Each commission demonstrates
the emotional depth and creative range through which clients around
the world are embracing Spectre.

Spectre’s design supports this shift in perception. Its
monolithic form, elegant proportions and clean surfacing reflect a
modern, yet timeless, interpretation of classic Rolls-Royce design
principles. The dramatic split headlamps, reminiscent of Spectre’s
spiritual predecessor, Phantom Coupé, and expressive Pantheon grille
establish a powerful identity, while the sweeping fastback silhouette
recalls the grace of historic Rolls-Royce coupés. Inside, features
such as Starlight Doors and the Illuminated Fascia invite new forms of
Bespoke expression, realised with the control and restraint expected
of the marque.
Spectre fulfils a prophecy made more than 120 years ago – and
proves the prescience of this vision. In 1900, The Hon. Charles
Stewart Rolls made a bold prediction: “The electric car is
perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration. They
should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be
arranged.” With this conviction in mind, Spectre was always
destined to become a defining motor car for Rolls-Royce collectors.
Spectre’s status as a future classic is also underpinned by
exceptional engineering. Conceived with the same commitment to
longevity and resilience as every Rolls-Royce, it delivers what many
have regarded as the perfect execution of an electric powertrain. The
marque’s confidence in and commitment to long-term performance is
expressed with an unprecedented 15-year, unlimited mileage battery
warranty, offered as standard to new and existing Spectres.
Following Spectre’s initial 2,500,000-kilometre testing
programme – the most extensive engineering validation programme in
Rolls-Royce history – prototype motor cars continue to be operated by
the marque’s specialist engineering teams. One recently retired test
Spectre indicated 99% battery capacity was remaining after 100,000
kilometres of real-world driving and charging across multiple climates
and geographies. Regardless of the battery’s proven endurance,
Rolls-Royce has confirmed supply of replacement batteries that extends
well beyond the middle of this century, providing future support for
every Spectre, as the marque’s clients would rightly expect.
Several early Goodwood-era Rolls-Royces – including Phantom
Coupé – are now joining the ranks of revered classics. Spectre follows
in this tradition, reflecting a generational shift among collectors
towards highly Bespoke electric Rolls-Royces: an evolution the marque
has noted with interest as it develops its future product road map.
