Performance

The Rolls-Royce Spectre packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 430 kW (585 hp / 577 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.5 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), making it a standout in its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 105.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 102.0 kWh, providing a 3.7 kWh buffer (3.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 376.4 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range is 530 km (329 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 19.2 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 205 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 72 minutes, while a more typical charging scenario from 10% to 80% takes 36 minutes with an average charging speed of 118 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 45%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 132 kW, with each charging session taking about 21 minutes and 54 seconds.

In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 26 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 9 hours and 33 minutes. This journey would require four charging stops from 1% to 40%, with a total charging time of 73 minutes.

Onboard Charger

The onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 9 hours and 16 minutes using a home charging setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This location makes it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger.
