EV for rolls Royce makes a lot of sense, and I think they’ve done a good job of making their EV feel like all their other cars, instead of making it radically different. I would love to see other manufacturers follow their lead and make more cars that feel like their existing cars instead of making things too revolutionary. Although with this said I think the rear is ugly, I think it looks like the Chrysler crossfire lol
I believe one is a mechanical watch for style and the other an Apple watch to track fitness, get phone notifications, etc. Personally I think it's weird but it's more common than you'd think
I wear two ‘watches’ one an elegant conventional mechanical watch, the other apple device, a purely functional, for health, fitness and communication rather than a time piece - as already stated a more common thing. Think of it as an analog clock, in a car with a digital dash 🙂
Hahaha he’s trying so hard to say big arty words lol. As for the car it’s actually looks better than the wrath .also see a lot new BMW styling thinking especially at the front .
I don't know how I feel about the split headlight design, because it reminds of the new 7 series. And if I was a buyer of a RR, I wouldn't like that resemblance.
😂 brah I saw the thumbnail and thought.... that guy looks like me... started playing the vid wife enters and say: did you make a video 😂😂😂😂😂 was hilarious.... not only we look a like, the clothing style is sooo close😂😂😂😂
@@harshsonawane6076 Rolls Royce has had split headlights (with the real headlights below the daytime running lights and indicators) like this since the 2003 -> Phantom. This is not new for them.
I don't know they say that it doesn't function for air intake or to cool an engine, but batteries need to stay cool too and I think it does have a function.
Finally; an EV that I don't mind being silent. Have reservations about the styling - the front looks a little less RR and a bit more BMW and you can leave the Spirit of Ecstasy alone. It's not meant to be dramatic or aggressive - it's meant to be beautifully representing momentum - just like the car...
The review was as thoughtful and elegant as the new ev from RR. Way beyond my wallet but good to see what is available when human art and tech at best, peace ✌️
Let me channel some inner Jeremy Clarkson here. Launch cars should never be brown. The launch spec is hideous, even inside. Aside from that, it looks great.
I think the Spirit of Ecstasy is leaning forward because, unlike the Phantom, it's on the curved front of the bonnet rather than the top of the grille. I quite like the profile, but the rear lights look like an afterthought and the double front lights need to be more cohesive IMO.
Rolls Royce said they put in 860hrs redesigning and fine tuning it in a wind tunnel to make it slippery through the air. Sounds like overkill but that's the RR way!
“7-series coupe with RR badge” I remember when the Rolls-Royce symbolized luxury and richness. Rolls-Royce, who used to set trend, is jumping on the band wagon called Split Headlight Design…why? Just need v12 powerplanted Wraith and Dawn with proper “RR” look Some say that EV RR makes a sense but that opinion is incorrect real owners of RR want to feel richness that comes from 12-cylinder high displacement engine feeling
@@MadDaCube We all know that starting with ‘03 phantom, has angular forms and distinct split headlights family looks. But starting with the 8th gen. Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan had an all-in-one headlight family look. And it was part of the "boldness in design" that they were proud of, and it was a new design language. (I didn't like it though) It's out of the blue that Rolls-Royce Spector suddenly went back to split headlight design
Before anybody compares the headlight design to the new 7-series BMW. This may share internals with the electric i7 however I would like to remind you all that Rolls Royce has had split headlights with the real headlight under the running light since 2003. That is way before BMW ever had it.
Be that as it may, the way the split headlights are styled here look almost identical to the i7. In fact a lot of this car is recycled parts from different BMWs and Rolls-Royce.
Named after a bloody Bond movie? Bond even never drove a Rolls. In the first books he is driving a Bentley 4.5 litre. Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, nice marketing campaign coming up I presume. Some guy living under a bridge with a gun held to his head is convincingly going to tell is its a jolly good car.
What is happening with car design these days? This is UGLY. BMW M2? Terrible. Even the domestics - F150. UGLY. Are we living through a repeat of the 1990s where we look back at our current time and wonder what the hell they were thinking? Moreover, with so many people wanting ‘80s inspired futuristic design, why are we getting…. this?
I love this car. I’ve got into EV’s over the past year and have ordered a Skoda Enyaq Sportline. But this would now be my dream car. I do wish they’d done a bit more with the dashboard though. I think the vents are looking a bit old now. It looks like a ten year old Ghost too. Why do a fat steering wheel too? Well, I can dream and do the lottery. But £50k on a Skoda is enough.
Another video where RUclips sticks all the “negative” comments at the bottom of the comments list. have been seeing this trend alot lately. hope this comment doesnt get deleted
I do wish people would stop saying things like ‘position of the batteries as opposed to an engine’. The battery is the replacement for the fuel tank - the motor is the replacement for the engine! Also - I would be amazed if there is no cooling system for the motor - there’s one in the E-tron for instance.
Imagine spending $500k on a new Rolls Royce and finding out it has the same headlights as a $90k BMW 7 series sedan or X7 SUV as well as probably a lot of other components underneath.
pagani uses mercedes engines, aston martin uses mercedes components too, do you still look at those as a lesser cars? there are other expensive cars that share things with cheaper ones, also rolls royce been doing the split headlights since 2003, the bloody new bugatti has the secondary key like a damn vw golf
Ah. So Carfection uses the word "perfection" to build its name. I thought it came from the word "affection". This is my least favorite Rolls Royce so far. I think it doesn't have the flowy lines the other ones have, especially around the C pillar and the trunk lines, and that two tone splitting that makes the trunk line more obvious. Still, a magnificent, gorgeous car. One day, I'll be able to afford it and I'll start with the Phantom.
It’s not as elegant or as classy looking as other Rolls Royce’s, especially the front-end and wheels, which are both very fussily styled. Not keen on the interior too much either, because of the many large flat screens dominating everything. I wish they were more hidden…until needed. It’ll date the interior quickly. As for the new EV platform? Just perfect for a Rolls! I just hope their other upcoming EVs will be more traditionally styled. Sorry, but it just reminds me of the chintzier looking Maybach/S-Class. Which Rolls’s never did previously 🤷♂️ still, I suppose I should hold final judgement until I see one in the metal.
The car is gorgeous but maybe not in those colors and the review is total perfection! Did you actually say that the door is one and a half meters long; where the hell do you park this car to be able to get in and out of it.
Guess i will be easier to live with the many broken and occupied chargers around the world, if you're rich enough to have someone follow you with your other Rolls, or a flatbed.
I was expecting so, so much better from Rolls Royce, but this Spectre is a lazy haberdashery of parts from BMW and RR. Lights that look almost identical to the i7; styled in exactly the same way, an interior lifted from the Ghost with a few extra LEDs and an extra, useless screen. An almost comically small radiator up front and a ghastly front bumper with all the exposed plastic...the fact the only 'new' thing that the Spectre offers is a colour coordinated knob is laughable. This is the worst Roller since the Camargue.
Am surprised you haven’t done a deal with Tesla to use there charging infer-structure world wide even if it’s not for the full BMW family but for RR as Tesla not in same league so no completion threat to them ….. yes I know Tesla said they open there charging stations but who knows what Musk thinks and dose .
I had the opportunity to drive the 102 EX Prototype back a decade ago and at the time, i couldn't understand why Rolls Royce wasn't jumping straight into EV's. It INSTANTLY made sense that a Roller would have an electric powertrain. Keep in mind that this was nearly 2 years before the Model S even launched so perhaps they were worried it wouldn't sell? Not sure, but the EV powertrain even in that development car was highly polished and very much suited the car. I mean, what's more luxurious than a Rolls Royce with MORE silence and LESS powertrain NVH and no shifts? I'm sure this will be fantastic. But not with that interior....
Rolls Royce EV makes sense, the modern BMW hideous designs elements; doesn’t make any sense .. just like what happened to Ferrari under FCA management in term of design. Loved the “swiped tail” inspiration at the rear end though. Wish if we can see an EV Phantom coupe
Nothing makes more sense than and EV Rolls-Royce. What doesn't fit it that it's a coupé. Where better to experience the absolute silence, boundless power and perfect smoothness than from the back seat?

In a Rolls Royce EV makes sense!👍 It's quiet and powerful! In a Rolls Royce you don't care about a cool engine sound anyway... So...😎👌
Du laberst scheisse
A non-car related question - What's with the 2 wristwatches ? (One on each) 😅
generally when people do this, each watch is set to a different timezone. still a flex, don't get me wrong, but usually a timezone thing.
@@seanhallissey4796 i think the apple watch that he's wearing can mitigate that ? 😄 Just saying..

It is a rebranded i7. What do you expect?
The grill now will channel the air around the car! Dude, explain that bit for me please. How is that even possible? 😅
I would have never picked that color combo but wow it really REALLY works.
Proud to be watching this video in 4K in my university wifi for the very first time in my life.
It's a mutated BMW i7 or X7
Wow, this is ugly from the front, hideous from the rear
LOL Supercombo.
Why does Drew look like he just woke up and put on whatever clothes he could find in the dark?
He was probably feeling depressed because this was his last Carfection video, as the channel is no more.
😂 brah I saw the thumbnail and thought.... that guy looks like me... started playing the vid wife enters and say: did you make a video 😂😂😂😂😂 was hilarious.... not only we look a like, the clothing style is sooo close😂😂😂😂
I hate how they didn’t even try to hide the actual headlights
I hate even more how they skipped talking about the headlights in the video
Reminds me of the last Jeep Cherokee. They tried to hide the lights in the face lift later on.
BMW influence

That’s literally the 2023 X7 design. Lmao
I’m so sad that Carfection is ending :(
Whaaaaat?!
Where did you hear this? I can't find anything online regarding it
@@vxyz5219 Alex Goy, Johnny Smith and Harry Metcalfe all tweeted about it.
@@bend1483 Gotcha, thanks.
"Incredibly minimalist" is an oxymoron.

I love the idea of a RR EV, but this redesign looks like a Wraith and a Dodge Challenger had a giant baby.
looks like an old Buick from the 1950's
looks too messy on the front end

Amazing review!!
This is the most important car for Roll Royce.
You'll never fit that car in a conventional parking space @6:38.. call the police, I'm trapped in my half million dollar car!
Putting the front camera there infront of the grill is just sloppy

That's going to very dignified for the elite to clamber into the back of their Rolls only to have zero legroom in a car the size of a ship.
This is the type of vehicle that perfectly fits being an EV, can't tell if I like the design or not
