Luxury car manufacturer Rolls Royce has officially launched their first-ever EV in India with a lot of glitter and glam at an event in New Delhi. The car, which launched in 2023 for the global market, is set to come with a starting price of Rs. 7.5 cr ex-showroom in India. However, it will cost more as the buyer can choose from several optional add-ons to customise the coupe according to their taste. The brand showcased a dual-tone grey-coloured variant to the media.

Rolls Royce Spectre: Design
Rolls Royce Spectre is a two-door coupe that can accommodate 4 people. It is 5.5 metres long and has a 0.25 drag coefficient. The car carries the signature design language with the illuminated grille, a redesigned spirit of ecstasy that will be used in all of the upcoming Rolls Royce cars, and the same split headlights that the Phantom comes equipped with. One feature that stands out are the 1.5-meter-long doors, they are the largest that any Rolls Royce has ever had and truly feel majestic. The doors are built like a tank, they are heavy yet don’t require a lot of force to open or close them. To add to the overall user experience, Rolls Royce has added controls that automate the opening and closing of the driver door, which is quite impressive, but for the price tag, this is the least you can expect.

Right below the doors, we have the direction indicators on either side with the branding in a chrome housing. The Rolls Royce Spectre sports large 23-inch wheels with bespoke aluminium alloys with the Rolls Royce logo that aid in better performance for the car, according to the brand.

For the charging port, all you need to do is push the cover, and it pops out to reveal the port.
The all-new ‘Spirit of Ecstacy’ retracts as the hood is popped from the inside of the car, which is a standard in all of the new iterations from the brand. The first thing that I noticed inside the cabin was the inclusion of Starlight for doors. The Starlight headliner isn’t new but combine that with huge doors that sport the same star-like lights, the sight is something to behold.
