It’s a long one but chapters are in there! An indescribable car that leads to a unique driving experience. Hope you enjoy this one! Thrilled we had the opportunity to test the Spectre
I love your reviews! I really want a lucid supercar.
Kyle can you review a gem car I think it would make a good video also try and do a video on the free ride share service Freebee
RR + Kyle = perfect vid
@10.50 Kyle may not have been aware but Rolls Royce have had powered closing doors since 2004.
@KyleConner
I guarantee you that 98% of the target group interested in purchasing a RR have NO interest in an EV version. Period. This thing is going to flop miserably. Oh, and S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the name of a REAL group first fictionalized in the James Bond film series. What does that stand for? Go look into it.
Airbus has the starlight ceiling available in their planes.
RR have actually had a level 5 self-driving system for some time. They call it 'the chauffeur'.
RR does not have real level 5. Real Autonomous driving is solved with lots and lots of driving data. Which they do not have because they only sell cars at low volume. What they call level 5 is just a glorified party trick. Not real self driving.
Man you didn't get the joke................@@Rayray-pe2wy
@@Rayray-pe2wy rich people have drivers
im not gonna admit how many google searches it took before it clicked....
Lol yes I’d say RR is more level 6 it opens your doors and even holds up the umbrella for you.
Found this on the Rolls Royce website pertaining to cellular reception: “Snap-in adapters are also available for selected mobile phones. These connect your mobile phone to your Rolls-Royce external aerial, which boosts reception and charges the phone’s battery at the same time.”
I have been obsessed with the Spectre since its announcement and was ecstatic to watch the first series of videos, overviews and on. This by far is the most in depth and practical I have seen thus far!
Thank you! I am so excited to see you all enjoy it!
(...and thank you for letting that lovely woman experience it too. A glimpse of a deam come true for her I'm sure!)
Isn't it just a BMW i7 with Rolls Royce package ?
It's funny how everyone loves the rolls royce but hate the i7 front end when they look EXACTLY the same. The i7 crystal lights might even look nicer imo
This dual headlight design craze keeps me wondering if poor Pontiac Aztek was just ahead of its time 😅
⛔🤣😂⛔ will SIT ON THE LOT UNTIL 2040!
Walter White approved. Good enough for me
🤣
Yeah. The Genesis cars are the only ones to make it look good. The i7 is a butterface.
Have a look at the first bmw rolls, the phantom from early 2000, it's just a development of it. headlights bellow parking lights
Coming soon: the 10% challenge, the 100% to 0% 70mph test, and a Cannonball Run C2C2C in the Roller!
Was literally waiting for this review before I put my order in!
lol uh huh
Right….
Never thought I’d watch a 90 min video about a RR ever but here we go!
I'd argue that the sound system is actually the biggest upgrade in this car. Someone who buys a Rolls likely IS also an audiophile, or at least used to good-sounding audio as a result of being not just rich, but wealthy. A lot of people have never experienced a proper live concert and the way it sounds in a theatre. Why? Because tickets are expensive for high-end classical/modern plays and concerts.
Also: the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK of cowl shake or any indication that you're even driving WHATSOEVER from the suspension is absolutely insane.
And Francie hit the nail on the head at 58:10. That's EXACTLY what it's meant to emulate. That's why the doors are so heavy - the heft is to simulate a human person helping you out in a smooth, controlled, but firm fashion.
You think someone with a $500k car is worried about the price of a concert?
@@chukob5 you completely missed my point.
That was such a nice beginning! Love that you let that woman sit in the car. Way to go!
Why shouldn’t a woman sit in it?
Charles Rolls and sir Henry Royce would be turning in their graves
I honestly don’t understand what took them so long. I drove the 102 EX back in 2011. It was the first EV I had ever driven! My thought at the time was it made total sense. Range? Who road trips a Rolls! Super smooth, super silent and able for your chauffeur to run the AC with zero emissions while you plan to invade a small country inside. It was literally a no brainer. Still baffles me why they didn’t do it sooner. Sounds like from the order banks I was right.
While charging at EA in Naples, FL, a Spectre RR test vehicle pulled into the stall next to me. It’s a very long car. When asking driver what he was testing today, answer was “nothing, just charging it up.”
The base version is an absolute bargain! I'm going to go to my credit union and see if i can finance this for 130 YEARS. Maybe then i can afford it.
I think you’d have to prove to them that you were gonna live that long
Wonderful prototypical content showing what makes Out of Spec great! A long, geeky video with passion and a spark of joy.
Cue the "Kyle why can't you review more affordable cars" comments 😆
Welp, there was a stated effort a while back to try and bring some focus to cheap EVs (Leaf seemed to be trying to kick that off). Since there hasn't been a lot more content in that regard, it appears his viewer metrics are steering him towards more of this kind of thing.
Everybody knows that EVs are the play things of the wealthy. They will always be too.
There is a reason why the EV disappeared back in the early 1900s, and the ICE took over completely.
I honestly can't wait for the day that we see the sub 30k or even 20k EV with at least 300 miles of range.
I'm not sure people are watching Out of Specs as a "buying guide" channel: it's more for the show (despite the poor editing and camera work). Spending 45 minutes to an hour on a Bolt review is sure to drive anyone crazy. And Kyle can be such a picky b**ch, getting angry at stupid details like the way a charging port door closes, that I frankly don't really take his opinions that seriously when I considered buying my EV (a Polestar 2). But he's entertaining, in an entitled, Starbucks drinking goofball !
@@rodneygrimonce you’ve done the Bolt & Leaf, there’s not much out there on the low end. Im sure we’ll see the model 2 on here when it comes out. Also: I can’t wait to see his review of the CyberTruck.
2.7 mi/kwh is better than I expected for this RR given it’s not built to be the most energy efficient. 👍🏾
Glad I got to experience such a vehicle!
Love your 💜 purple Tesla 😎
Detailed informative report, thank you.
This was so cool. Hope I get to drive one eventually. But if I don't, at least I got to experience it vicariously through Kyle and Francie. :)
I'm not a huge fan of Rolls... But this car is beautiful.
You always hear about RUclipsrs complain about they have no more ideas. One thing you will not see on Kyle Connors out of spec. Family of channels is a lack of ideas. Keep up with the good work. You never fell to bring us awesome content it seems like every single day.❤
Love these long videos!
Always intrigued by your videos. Just subscribed!
It's a beautiful car. I feel like electric is perfect for this company. They can focus on the luxury interior and aesthetics. Throw out the poor gas mileage and expensive engine maintenance. That's the real reason most people want these cars.
That color, that paint job….beautiful. Great review Kyle.
local Houston dealer brought one to our local coffee and cars last week and that car is beautiful!
Great review !! Subbed
That's amazing. I owned 2 Rolls Royce 1969 silver shadows. After my test drive in a 2015 p100d it was all over. I sold them both & bought a Japanese chipped leaf. It is 9 seconds to 60 mph. But now i have my dream 🍒 red S 85d. Now i need to get my favorite car back 😂.
11:08 err Rolls-Royces had motorised doors since the early 2000s I believe…
Welcome to Greenville!!!
Loved the review.
Reaction lady!!:: I kept watching the whole video just to see the spectator lady’s REACTION sitting inside because her reaction gives me a glimpse of how I might react!!! Well worth the wait she was amazing!!!
Pretty much the same reaction she would have sitting in a Lexus...
47:57 A tight city space? That's like a main trunk road in Britain! Tight urban roads are the ones where you fold the wing mirrors to pass an oncoming vehicle. The really tight roads are the single track ones with passing places ever few hundred metres, and where you cannot open the car doors without hitting a wall or hedge. Thanks for the great review of what is a pretty impressive car for a BMW.
😂😂😂
Correction on the auto closing doors: Rolls Royce actually had that feature way before tesla on the first "modern" phantom.
Yah, can't believe this dude calls himself a car enthusiasts 🤦♂️
Been JONESING for this video ever since I saw the posts on X. Thanks Kyle and Francis!!
X?
Wow God Bless!!! So Good giving others the experience of driving or even being inside of a RR!
Just wow. Had to sleep so could not see it all last night, but woke up early to complete it. Lots of great information as always that is not available from Rolls. Totally out of reach for me, but still worth 85 minutes of pure EV gold. Thanks for doing this service for all the EV geeks out there.
Wonderful prototypical content showing what makes Out of Spec great))))
wow!!! Out of spec really stepping it up with Rolls Royce! Nice, Congrats. Very cool car!
I find it strange that RR expects 60% of sales to go to existing owners. I have the opposite feeling about this. Leaving this comment here to come back in the future to see if I was right. I think the Spectre will be a hit for people moving up from a lower segment.
Not so sure even the aspiring billionaires will want this thing.
Either way, it's sold out.
@@jocelyndeguise And that will be the last EV Rolls you'll ever see produced. haha. Sold out as in how many will be produced? A dozen?
That’s a beautiful beast of a machine
Thanks Kyle. You absolutely have to Cannonball this car across North America! Lots of love to all ❤❤❤
I don't think Rolls Royce will consider lending him a $600000 car for that purpose...
Most Epic OOSR video and “epicest” EV out there. More importantly another key shift in the auto industry and EV revolution. 👏
Half a million dollars cars were never "key shift" in anything. Toys for the rich.
I hope they get a subsidy,their ego needs it.
The most iconic brand in the auto world opting for a full EV option is a key shift, period.
My stepdad used to make electronic equipment for performance measuring cars, back in the 80. RR bought a kit and used it to test their cars. We weren't allowed to use them as reference, we did have a team picking up updates for the equipment on their way from UK to Sweden for testing so we had some RR parked in outside our house, in the cheapest neighbourhood in town, overnight one time. :D :D A lot of motor magazines also bought the equipment so we say a wide range of cars back then.
Wow, great work on specs inoformation
I wonder if anyone has started a drinking game where you take a drink every time Kyle says "crazy"?
Professional review
It has shooting stars in the headliner!!!!!!! That's awesome.
Well, I really didn't understand very well what you said about the sound system. This Bespoke Audio system in Rolls Royce is literally the best systems in a car. It's as close to a studio as you can get in a car. The clarity, speed, transparency and instrument separation are simply fantastic, also the tonality is superb, very natural and realistic. In my opinion it is definitely better than Bowers & Wilkins. But most people just want a V-shaped sound with lots of bass and treble. But I understand your point here. Great video!
just saw this on my feed - not moved so quick in a long time!
Wow that’s crazy you were in Gville. I recognized the entrance to Holly Tree Country club where you got out and filmed some exterior shots. Man literally right up the road from where I lived I would have loved to have seen that ride…awesome
Don’t tell your dad about this one, he will buy it!
I think this one is even out of his range!
@@doomsday9973 He will find the means….
Kyle you need to head down to Tanger Outlets in North Charleston, SC they are installing some fancy looking Fast chargers. I think they were Varo chargers.
Call me weird, but I like the umbrella thing. Very thoughtful. Especially if you live in Seattle, I don’t, I live in Texas, but my father lives in Seattle. And it always rains when I’m there.
Well worth staying up for (2 am here)! Agree about the steering wheel - definitely needs to be thin, and the audio system is only an 8? Hopefully it'll appear in the rental fleet next year so I can rent one for my 50th birthday. :)
One of these was charging in Duarte, CA on 11-09-23 at a EVGo 350kW at, I think, about 134kW. The driver said that he was going to visit 300 chargers in the Southern California area for compatibility testing. Blue leather inside, mostly, except for white leather driver's seat if I remember correctly.
green one is looking perfect!
Amazing video - to live life vicariously through someone able to drive one of these!! (But does RR offer 2 years of free charging with EA?)
So Nice of you to let that Lady sit in the car man. Thats really Cool of you.
24:30 Kyle mentions Out of Spec Charging as a possible option for multi contract plug & charge?! Exciting! Great video! 🙌
I think that was metaphorical as in it could be any charging company, including out of spec.
Yooo Bojangles ohh that’s the spot right there 😁😁😁 and I do like it in the green pain over the white one just give off well a 007 specter vibe
Almost covered all my questions
I haven't seen a car that had a door that opens from the front since our 1939 Plymouth. After that the doors were made to open from the rear as it was too easy to open a door while the car was in motion.
Do the doors not have a sensor built in to stop them from hitting anything even wh3n the handles are being fully pulled out ? I would think that they do.
Agreed, The 7 does, I don’t see why this wouldn’t.
great review bro, just got rid of my 22 ghost because it's missing all those options that specter has, did they improve the footwell ventilation? non existant in the ghost
I like the thick steering wheel. feels more solid.
What Kyle said in the first 3min is exactly how I feel about our Lucid Air GT. People that own these high end vehicles don’t road trip for one and secondly don’t care. Not sorry!
Exactly, if you have the means to buy these kinds of cars, then chances are you likely are not road tripping very often and instead flying to most places.
I road trip my GT exclusively for the most part. Kid in college in SoCal and I’m in NorCal. That’s where my 8k miles came from. I also do care about spec’s because I am a tech gal
@@ProXcaliber
That's what I don't really understand. If you have a super nice car that's just makes you smile all the time, why wouldn't you want to use it all the time?
Since I bought my Model S, I'm looking for opportunities to drive it. I go on road trips just for the experience. And wouldn't want to fly, except maybe in a private jet.
@@andrasbiro3007 Well you see, when you have a Rolls Royce, you often want to be driven in it since the back is nicer than the front, in terms of comfort and features. There are cars that you drive and cars you are driven in, and often depending which Rolls Royce you get, you want to be driven in it. Now if it’s some other kind of super nice car then sure, you might want to drive. But again, it all also depends how you value your time, for some they may find that flying to a farther destination is better use of their time than driving to the same destination. I mean look at private jet flights where they sometimes literally fly within the same state.
Wow, that's amazing, a working EA charging station!
Who said it was working???
@@rival121 haha, good point
LOL, that star interior looks like child's room 🙂
Yeah, tacky isn't it.
That car costs more than my house
And in a few years when it loses 50%+ of its value or more it won’t anymore lol
@@doomsday9973it’ll still be over 200k look at the wrath and ghost for example 😅
The iX7 or EQS 580 has enough luxury for me. How do you stop the door from hitting a bollard? Pull handle once and push door to desired opening? I love the stars on roof.
Looking at the Rolls Royce Spectre and god dam ? This is OFF THE HOOK !!!
Everything going electric now nice ❤
Cool car!
Wonder what the profit margin is. Rolls brand is strong.
The sounds coming off around 43:00 - 44:00 for the massage seat activation are very much she same as the error message sounds of Windows 98 were.
great video of a fantastic car , very comprehensive review and francie had some great imput too especially the door opening as she said a gentleman opening the door lol , thanks guys
Finally inside out of a Spec-tre!
Charging over sticker for Rolls-Royce 😂😂😂
I assume virtually all Rolls Royces are bespoke. There aren’t any cars sitting on the local Rolls-Royce dealer lots waiting for buyers.
Unless the Rolls-Royce dealer is next-door to the local football pitch in England and they’re waiting for a football player to come out and buy one
Realy I like it
The phone reception bit is very interesting. Hopefully there’s a workaround?
I’ve been to that EA in Greenville multiple times. Never thought there would be a Rolls Royce there! 😂
Seeing a Rolls at a charging station doesnt surprise me as much as that you found a charging station that actually works. Seems like 1 out of 87 actually work.
I was looking at the Rolls Royce BLACK BADGE.
They really do know how to make exciting cars.
I would like to see the electric Ghost.
sold
Just been hit by a BYD Dofin advert while watching this video and it was a normal-feeling car advert as well
Did anyone notice the 'starlight' headliner has shooting stars!! Every 30 sec or so. 🌠 29:30-31:00
One thing I wanted to ask because the signal in the vehicle was that because it wasn’t connected to Apple Pay, but if the car or phone was connected, would that not been a problem with the connection? Another question to ask is all the videos I’ve seen about the efficiency on everything to do with this extraordinary vehicle. What did you think to the carpet ride another than that thank you for a wonderful review and it was a real insight into what is known as the automotive industry of the pinnacle of luxury of the motor industry is one of the best vehicles I’ve seen to date.
I like that rolls- Royce
Does it have a hotspot? A hotspot would fix the phone connectivity problem but it won't fix the GPS problem. Hopefully the built in nav is good enough because Android Auto and Car play aren't going to work when your phone is in a Faraday cage.
The phone gets location data from the car when using wireless Apple CarPlay. At least that’s how it works with BMW and some other cars.
10:57 actually the Model X deliveries started late 2015
Rolls has had powered closing doors for years and years. 2008ish I think
The Bespoke audio system is in fact the upgraded audio system. If you can afford a Rolls, you can afford a custom Focal or Accuton audio system.
I live here, my home town! ❤
damn studio lights inside
I was at the charging station twice this past week! Dang!
It's a beautiful car. For sure the best looking Rolls. Especially in that green color. The white not so much.
This might be THE ONE... I cant wait to see the SUV EV they come up with...
The motors have brushes that connects to the rotor and gives energy to the electric magnet on the rotor. IT is called WRSM or EESM so it is not a "induction motor". Renault use the same. Google WRSM motor.
21:00 re the door opening. So it doesn’t have hidden sensors in the doors to prevent them from hitting things when opening automatically? Tesla did that in 2016…
that rear light looks crazy similar to a mercedes v class one
