Performance
The Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge delivers a maximum power of 485 kW (659 hp / 650 bhp) and a total torque of 1075 Nm (793 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 105.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 102.0 kWh, with 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.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
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 (3.2 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings 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 73 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 37 minutes with an average charging speed of 116 kW.
Assuming five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 0–45%. The effective average, including overhead, is 130 kW across a session of about 21 minutes and 15 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 26 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 34 minutes, needing four charging stops from 1% to 40%, totaling 74 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 9 hours and 16 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.

Drivetrain
The Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.

Suspension
The Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge features a multilink front and rear suspension, both equipped with electronically controlled dampers and air springs for enhanced ride quality and adaptability.

The minimum ground clearance is 193 mm, and the maximum is 223 mm.
The Active Suspension keeps the car's body nearly horizontal during braking, steering, and acceleration.
Normally, cars lean outward in corners. However, the active cornering dynamics can counteract this roll, or even overcompensate, making the car lean into bends like a motorcycle.
The Easy Entry function lowers the car's body automatically when a door is opened, facilitating easier entry and exit. Once the door closes, the body returns to its previous level.
For easier loading, you can lower the air suspension from the rear.
