It may also be charged from 10 to 80% in only 34 minutes using 195 kW DC fast charging.
Advanced extruded aluminum technology and integration of the battery into the structure end in a frame that’s 30% stiffer in comparison with previous Rolls-Royce models, and the extra advantage of the battery is that it provides additional acoustic insulation at a weight of 700 kg.
The Specter’s interior also features quite a few advanced technological solutions – for the primary time in a production Rolls-Royce, the Specter could be equipped with Starlight doors with over 4,796 beautifully soft “stars”. As with all Rolls-Royce cars, the Specter’s interior options offer the client almost unlimited personalization options.
