According to Torsten Muller Otvos, Rolls-Royce Spectre is not a prototype and is almost ready and the first deliveries for the car are scheduled to go out in the fourth quarter of 2023. Only a small teaser was released about this car but it did show up an aerodynamic efficient design that seems a bit different than the more luxurious and bulky design of the usual cars from the company. Spectre will also use Rolls-Royce’s own aluminium space frame, which was first tried on the current Rolls-Royce Phantom. 

Otvos also said that the car is going to be tested in all conditions and overall terrains. He also asked the viewers to keep a lookout for their Rolls-Royce Spectre on roads all over the globe. Industry experts suggest that the Rolls-Royce makers might take some inspiration from their parent company, BMW’s fifth-generation EV technology. It is one of the most sophisticated technologies offered for a car that has the capability to deliver 400 miles between charges. But it seems that Rolls-Royce might have something special under the table for the engine system of their upcoming Spectre.
