Rolls-Royce Spectre
Rolls-Royce has been toying with the idea of an electric car since the early 2010s, but growing environmental concerns and key technological advancements have it possible now. When compared with less prestigious rivals, the Spectre appears to leave customers short-changed with “only” 577 horsepower and 450 km of range. However, the company says that’s exactly what they want. Naturally, the list of options is near endless, while the quiet, supremely comfortable ride is accentuated by the silent powertrain.
