Rolls-Royce just finished winter testing of its upcoming Spectre EV

Rolls-Royce is currently developing its first EV called Spectre and it just finished the winter stage of testing. The Spectre is supposed to cover 2.5 million kilometers throughout its testing and so far, the model did about 25% of that target drive distance. The car was tested just outside the Arctic Circle in Sweden.

The Spectre is supposed to become a reality sometime in Q4 2023 with a full-fledged announcement this year. Rolls-Royce says it's a direct successor to the Phantom Coupe with two doors and will be the first car from the brand with 23-inch wheels since 1926. Moreover, the company says it's the most aerodynamic Rolls-Royce ever made with a drag coefficient of 0.26. And that's crucial for EVs in order to provide the longest possible range.

Since it's going to be an EV, Rolls-Royce says it's trying to push the dashboard closer to the front ultimately reserving more space for the passengers and the driver.

Rolls-Royce says the Spectre is the "most connected" car in the company's history requiring about 7 kilometers of cables compared to just 2 kilometers in its existing lineup.
