“As our home market, the United Kingdom has always been, and will
continue to be, a very important market for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
I am delighted to announce that from today, the most anticipated
Rolls-Royce in the marque’s 119-year storied history will go on tour
throughout the UK, starting in London. Clients, media, and friends
of the brand first had the opportunity to see this transformative
motor car in the marque’s flagship showroom in Mayfair, before
Spectre undertakes a tour around the UK. The response from the
world’s opinion leaders to our genre-defining all-electric
super-coupé, has been unequivocally positive, and I am delighted now
to have the opportunity to showcase this remarkable motor car in the
country where it was built.”

Central Asia, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
In 2021, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars made a historic
announcement that would shape the marque’s history forever.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars declared its commitment to electric technology
by both announcing Spectre, an all-electric car with first customer
deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023, and that by the end of 2030,
the marque’s entire portfolio would be fully electric. Since this
significant moment in the storied history of Rolls-Royce, Spectre has
been on a remarkable journey, including completing a highly demanding
testing programme, spanning 2.5 million kilometres. Last October,
Spectre was unveiled to the world at the Home of Rolls-Royce in West
Sussex, and response from media across the globe has been
overwhelmingly positive.
Now, ahead of first client deliveries later this year, Spectre
made its UK dealer debut on 1st June at the marque’s
flagship residence in Berkeley Street, Mayfair, London. The world’s
first ultra-luxury electric super coupé will now embark on its UK
tour, offering clients an opportunity to draw closer to the brand,
viewing this remarkable motor car and thereby participating in
Rolls-Royce’s electric future.
Spectre heralds the beginning of an exciting new chapter for
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and the start of the marque’s all-electric era.
Spectre represents a promise made, a prophecy kept and a remarkable
undertaking. The marque has a long-standing connection with electric
technologies; in 1900, Rolls-Royce co-founder Charles Rolls
prophesised an electric future for the motor car. Having experienced
an electric vehicle named The Columbia Electric Carriage, he foresaw
the technology’s suitability as a clean, noiseless alternative to the
internal combustion engine – providing there was sufficient
infrastructure to support it. In 2011, Rolls-Royce showcased a fully
electric Experimental Phantom concept named 102EX. This was followed
by 103EX, a dramatic design study that anticipated a bold electric
future for the marque.
