“Spectre is a landmark motor car for Rolls-Royce – conceived by
our engineers, designers and craftspeople, informed by our clients
and acclaimed the world over. It amplifies the qualities our clients
value most: silence, effortlessness and abundant power, confirming
that Rolls-Royce is perfectly suited to electrification. This motor
car’s extraordinary reception around the world has also established
Spectre as one of the most compelling canvases for Bespoke in our
contemporary product portfolio, inspiring clients to pursue ever
more individual and ambitious commissions. With Spectre Series II,
we extend those possibilities even further. This refinement of a
modern masterpiece is made in the spirit of our co-founder, Sir
Henry Royce, who said: ‘Small things make perfection, but perfection
is no small thing’.”

Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

“Spectre has consistently been recognised as one of the most
elegant automotive forms of the modern era. Clients frequently cite
its design as one of the defining reasons for their commission, and
it will undoubtedly take its place in future collections of
remarkable motor cars. In expanding the palette of materials and
crafts introduced for Spectre Series II, we respond directly to our
clients’ desire to approach Spectre with even more creative
ambition, as they explore its possibilities as a canvas on which to
tell their story.”

Domagoj Dukec, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

Rolls-Royce announces Spectre Series II, introducing a suite of
technical and creative enhancements to the marque’s landmark super-coupé.

Since its introduction in 2022, Spectre has become one of the
most significant and celebrated Rolls-Royce motor cars of the modern
era, widely praised for its timeless design, serene performance and
effortless driving character. Spectre Series II builds on this
success. Engineering updates unlock 18% more range (390 total miles,
WLTP), alongside higher torque of 1,015 Nm increased to 1,100 in
Spirited Mode and a 14% reduction in charging times. Newly crafted
interior illuminations, an expanded palette of exquisite materials,
and striking exterior treatments further elevate Spectre’s interior
possibilities. These changes sharpen Spectre’s character while
preserving the qualities that have already established it as a future classic.

CONSIDERED REFINEMENT, SILENT POWER

While Spectre’s range and performance already exceeded client
expectations, engineers at Goodwood have recalibrated the motor car’s
drivetrain to deliver even greater immediacy and control for Series
II, further strengthening Black Badge Spectre’s standing as the most
powerful Rolls-Royce in history. Power output now reaches 442 kW
whilst torque rises to 1,015 Nm. In Black Badge Spectre Series II,
Infinity Mode unlocks 500 kW of power, while Spirited Mode summons up
to 1,100 Nm torque.

Thanks to re-engineered battery cell technology Spectre Series
II’s potential driving distance is increased by 18% to 390 miles
(WLTP) and charging times have been reduced by 14%. This reinforces
the marque’s commitment to both electric serenity and uncompromised capability.

SPECTRE: A DEFINING CANVAS FOR BESPOKE

Spectre has emerged as one of the most compelling canvases for
Bespoke in Rolls-Royce’s contemporary portfolio, with some clients
requesting more than 20 individual and personal Bespoke elements in
their motor car. Demand for Bespoke commissions on Spectre is
surpassed only by Phantom. In addition to the near-limitless
opportunities for Bespoke through the marque’s Private Offices,
Spectre Series II introduces a new suite of crafted elements,
materials and finishes as a response to clients’ increasing desire for
highly ambitious and expressive commissions.

EXTERIOR COMPOSURE, REINFORCED

The super-coupé’s celebrated fastback profile, clean surfacing
and split headlamp signature are retained for Spectre Series II,
underlining the marque’s confidence in this initial, widely acclaimed
design. Since launch, Spectre has been widely praised as one of the
most elegant automotive forms of the era and now stands alongside
Phantom Coupé and other revered Goodwood-era models in the marque’s
collector canon. Of the numerous international accolades Spectre has
received, its timeless design is consistently celebrated by judging
panels, while clients have embraced Spectre as a true modern
masterpiece. To accentuate Spectre’s form and surfacing, a new solid
exterior finish, named Ethereal Blue, has been developed for Spectre
Series II.

SCULPTED WHEEL DESIGN

A new 23-inch forged alloy wheel design introduces a highly
faceted multi-spoke treatment that captures and reflects light from
every angle. The wheel is forged with exceptionally sharp 2.5 mm
radii, allowing the surfaces to retain their crisp diamond-like
definition even after polishing. Each wheel is hand-finished for up to
six hours to achieve this precise faceting and is available in two
finishes: part-polished and fully polished.

INTERIOR EXPRESSION AND MATERIAL INNOVATION

Responding to the exceptional creative ambition of Spectre
clients, Spectre Series II significantly expands the interior palette,
offering new materials, treatments and crafted details of remarkable
depth and variety. Among them is Duality Twill – a contemporary
interior rayon fabric made from bamboo, now available within Spectre
for the first time. This material was inspired by the extensive bamboo
grove in Le Jardin des Méditerranées on the Côte d’Azur,
which neighbours Sir
Henry Royce’s former winter home, Villa Mimosa.

The twill textile is embroidered with an artistic ‘Duality’
graphic. Based on an abstract interpretation of the two interlinked
letter R initials of the marque’s founders, the design reflects a
nautical influence, reminiscent of the interweaving rope lines found
on sailing yachts – another subtle allusion to the French Riviera.

A Duality Twill interior on Spectre Series II can incorporate up
to 2.6 million stitches, 10 miles of thread, requiring up to 25 total
hours to construct. The twill textile is available in Lilac,
Chocolate, Black and a newly introduced Sage: a cool, verdant green
that introduces a soft luminosity to Spectre Series II’s interior
suite. Clients can select from more than 50 different colours of
thread for the embroidered elements, either contrasting with or
complementing the base layer.

Placed Perforation leather is also available for Spectre Series
II, where precision-cut patterns are created to reveal unique
artworks. For its debut, designers created a pattern inspired by the
shifting silhouettes cast by clouds in moonlight. Spanning the
shoulder and headrest areas of the front and rear seats, it comprises
78,138 perforations in three different sizes: 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.2
mm. If the perforations are extended to the illuminated door option,
the pattern subtly disperses as it approaches each light source,
creating a soft, atmospheric diffusion effect reminiscent of starlight
emerging through shifting night skies.

A new distinctive high gloss Brindled Walnut veneer reflects the
marque’s deeply considered approach to material craft. The finish is
created by combining walnut sourced from non-fruiting trees – which
would ordinarily be burned – with residual eucalyptus fibres from fine
paper production, forming a richly layered ‘tiger stripe’ pattern.
These elements are first compressed and then precisely cut into veneer sheets.

The finish is sealed with a lacquer infused with a fine powder of
glass flakes, before a final clearcoat is applied. This layered
process creates the impression that the shimmering particles are
suspended beneath the surface, adding a sense of depth and movement to
the veneer.

The Interior Panel and Clock Gallery now span the entire width of
the fascia, joined by a new Illuminated Fascia artwork. Its
directional wave pattern is composed of 8,108 individual pixel-like
illuminations that appear to flow across the surface, reinforcing
Spectre Series II’s strong horizontal character. The design draws
inspiration from the shifting mist that settles over the woodlands of
the South Downs, which rise beyond the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.

A new timepiece has also been introduced. Its design takes
inspiration from precision aviation instruments, which prioritise
absolute legibility. The dial features cast metal hands and a
pared-back graphic treatment that reflects the motor car’s
contemporary character. As well as housing a new timepiece, the unique
inset vitrine showcases an up-lit Spirit of Ecstasy figurine crafted
from solid stainless steel.

A BOLD NEW PALETTE FOR BLACK BADGE

For Black Badge Spectre Series II, a suite of new design
enhancements further dramatise the marque’s alter ego, amplifying its
intense and uncompromising character.

A new Iced Black Exterior Detailing offer has been developed,
transforming almost all of the motor car’s brightwork with a matte
finish. The treatment is applied to the grille surround, sideframe
finishers, bumper inserts, ‘Double R’ Badge of Honour side surround,
door handles and the Spirit of Ecstasy. The effect is achieved using a
specially developed matte clear coat, creating a refined, satin-like
finish. Notably, the vanes of the Pantheon Grille remain polished – a
decision taken by Rolls-Royce designers to preserve the motor car’s identity.

A new wheelset has also been developed to create an even more
imposing visual character for Black Badge. The open-spoke design
places emphasis on the motor car’s powerful braking hardware while a
polished outer ring – pushed to the very edge of the wheel –
accentuates the diameter of the seven-spoke structure. A subtle
sparkle effect is achieved through fine glass flakes embedded within
the finish. This bold new design is also available in Iced Matte Black
– the first time a Black Badge wheel has been offered in this finish –
created using a specialised high-temperature curing process.

SPECTRE AND ITS CLIENTS

At the heart of Spectre’s success is its founding philosophy. It
was conceived as a Rolls-Royce first – defined by silence,
effortlessness and presence – brought to life through electric power.
In doing so, it delivers an experience completely in tune with the
marque’s values, confirming Rolls-Royce’s authority in shaping the
future of super-luxury motoring.

This approach has clearly resonated with clients. In 2025,
Spectre retained its position as the marque’s second best-selling
model globally.

To inform the development of Spectre Series II, Rolls-Royce
specialists mapped how clients live with their Spectre. Typically the
second Rolls-Royce in a seven-car garage, Spectre is nonetheless
driven extensively. While the average annual mileage of around 4,000
miles (6,500 km) remains consistent with other two-door Rolls-Royce
motor cars, such as Wraith, Dawn, and Phantom Coupé, Spectre is
increasingly used for personal driving enjoyment, charged almost
exclusively at home, and most often driven solo – affirming its
identity as a true driver’s Rolls-Royce.

Spectre’s effortless usability has seen many clients embrace it
as a daily motor car. One European client has travelled more than
30,000 miles (50,000 km) in the two years since taking delivery – more
than three times the average annual mileage typically recorded by a Rolls-Royce.

In the United States, one well-known collector based in Los
Angeles has also made Spectre a daily companion. One particular
pleasure of their ownership, they have told the marque, is the short
journey from their residence at the top of a hill to their garage
below – a drive in which the motor car arrives with more range than it
started, thanks to regenerative braking.

Spectre’s peerless driving experience is an important expression
of this motor car’s success though not the only one. It is equally
recognised by clients as a long-term emotional asset and a unique
canvas for Bespoke individualisation. For example, Spectre has been
reimagined as a tribute
to a client-couple’s lifelong relationship, symbolised by a
Bespoke Starlight Headliner configured with the constellations as they
were on the day they first met; a celebration, through exquisite
marquetry, of a cherished family dog, named Bailey;
an extension of a client’s home, directly mirroring the hues and
textures of their living space; and a continuation of a notable
haute joaillerie collection, drawing inspiration from a
colour associated with their favourite designer. A client in Korea has
taken the act of commissioning further still by creating a gallery
space within their residence in which to display their Spectre as a
work of art.

These insights reflect the emotional breadth, creative depth and
driving pleasure clients now associate with this landmark motor car,
all of which shaped the subtle refinements introduced for Spectre
Series II.

SPECTRE SERIES II: INTEGRITY, ENHANCED

Spectre’s evolution for Series II is a powerful affirmation of
the motor car’s design integrity and engineering permanence. It
emerges within a new era of commissioning shaped by deeper
collaboration through the marque’s expanding global Private Office
network, and a broader creative repertoire than ever before. It
respects the instincts of those who recognised Spectre’s significance
from the outset and offers new opportunities for expression to those
who commission it next.
