I'm not for the complete EV takeover for several reasons. one of which is how many of these EV continuations/remakes/successor cars don't stay true to the essence of what they are supposed to be i.e. EV charger Daytona or mustang mach-e. while they may be fantastic cars in their own right, the essence of their namesake is flatout just not there. The Hummer EV was the first one I saw to be true to its essence as it remained pointlessly large, impractical, and all-around kinda stupid in an endearing way. this Rolls-Royce feels like it stays true to it's predecessors. it's still got that overwhelming silent presence of snobbish authority that a Rolls-Royce should have. though it's a shame the V12 is not present, it's not like Rollers were ever known for being loud and brash. it's still silent and luxurious, only to be used as a cruiser or a flex machine. the interior is gorgeous and the exterior fits right into the Rolls-Royce lineup and is (in my opinion) one of the best looking of the bunch. I like this one and I hope more manufacturers get the hint about how an EV successor doesn't have to reinvent its namesake.
While I can understand the Dodge Charger being electric is a complete flip of the script. This Rolls Royce however is probably one of the most true to it’s roots electric cars on the market. “The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration. They should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged.” The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, Co-Founder, Rolls-Royce, 1900 This was over 120 years ago… electric and rolls Royce goes perfectly hand in hand in my opinion. As it’s smooth, linear and refined. I can understand the beauty of a rolls Royce engine tho. But what do I know I’m just a pleb that’s never driven one 🤣
@@Coyote350 yeah what I typed glitched out in an almost comedic way getting rid of every word except "tasteless" which was autocorrect making a mistake.
It’s a chopped Cullinan
Haha surely this is a bit longer 😂
