When it comes to performance, Goodwood engineers have recalibrated the drivetrain for “greater immediacy and control,” cementing it as the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever. It now has 593 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque. of torque while the Black Badge’s Infinity Mode amps that to 670 horsepower and Spirited Mode brings it to 811 lb.-ft. of torque.

The battery cell technology was also improved, increasing range by 16%. This gives drivers 308 miles (EPA estimated) of range. Charging times were also reduced by 14%.

However, this isn’t really what the Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II is all about.

The super coupe has an iconic fastback profile and an elegant design. The Series II brings a new exterior finish, Etheral Blue. It also has 23-inch forged alloy wheels with a multi-spoke treatment that reflects light from every angle thanks to their diamond-like surface.

Black Badge clients are offered Iced Black Exterior Detailing, which transforms the vehicle’s brightwork with a matte finish. This includes the grille, side frame finishers, bumper inserts, door handles, and more. This creates a satin-like appearance.

The interior features new materials, such as Brindled Walnut veneer or Duality Twill made from bamboo. Said Rolls-Royce in a press release: “This material was inspired by the extensive bamboo grove in Le Jardin des Méditerranées on the Côte d’Azur, which neighbors Sir Henry Royce’s former winter home, Villa Mimosa.” Clients can select from 50 different thread colors for embroidered elements. 

The Spectre Series II is one of the most customizable Rolls-Royce yet, with clients requesting more than 20 bespoke elements. This includes many new crafted elements, materials, and finishes.

Continued the release: “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.”

The electric coupe starts at $397,000, while the Black Badge starts at $470,000. Depending on customization in the bespoke department, you could easily exceed $500,000.
