Rolls-Royce had the world-first test drives of their fully electric Spectre outside their company, in a magnificent destination - our very own Cape Town. | News24Motoring

The ultra-luxury automaker, owned by BMW, sold more than 6000 vehicles in 2022, a record year for the brand. The company has hesitated to replace its W12 engine, but times have forced the change to produce its first electric vehicle. BMW says that 50% of all vehicles sold across the group will be electric by 2030.

The Spectre has 450kW of power and 900Nm of torque and a driving range of about 520km. Before options and any import taxes, the average price of the vehicle would cost about R9.1 million, which is about the general price of a Rolls-Royce these days, anyway. The luxury firm won't reveal how many models it will build of the Spectre, but about 300 customers have already been invited to come and view this brand-new vehicle.
