Rolls-Royce Specter makes its debut in the world of drugs with Mansory. Improvement or sacrilege?
The Rolls-Royce Specter is one of the greatest creations of the British brand in recent times.a car that we had the privilege of testing in its home country and which perfectly combines all the elegance and luxury of a Goodwood fastback coupe with innovative chassis and mechanical technology, becoming the first Rolls-Electric Royce.
Rolls-Royce Specter gets a makeover
And with this style we might say a few “buts” but As is usually the case with all luxury and expensive cars, the moment many have been dreading has arrived. He ended up in Mansori’s hands. The German tuner took the Specter’s sculptural design and infused it with a recipe of forged carbon fiber and extravagant colors. resulting in this instance that you can see in these images.
As we see now The Specter’s body is adorned with various details, such as the signature forged carbon trim that is Mansory’s hallmark. And we are not talking about frames and spoilers, but even about completely new parts. for the luxury electric coupe, including new exaggeratedly sized side gills and false air intakes, sportier skirts and even a voluminous hood that looks all silver on some trims, but appears carbon fiber here.
The changes continue in the rear view, where in addition to more gills on the C-pillar we also see two spoilers, one at the end of the roof and the other on the tailgate, at the end of the rear section. and, above all, an aggressive rear diffuser that includes an optional third brake light. Mansory says all these aerodynamic parts help improve rear downforce, but does a Rolls-Royce like this really need to improve its aerodynamics?
To all these adjustments we, of course, add some new 23-inch FD.15 wheels, although 24-inch wheels can be optionally installed; as well as an interior with a slightly more subdued style, combining orange and black tones with leather upholstery, which now features Mansory logos and is also accompanied here by carbon inserts.it all added the usual level of luxury to any good Rolls-Royce, with high-quality materials, deep-pile carpets and, of course, a starry ceiling with thousands of LEDs.
All this is accompanied, as usual with any preparation of an electric car, by the same standard mechanics, which is also not bad. Rolls-Royce Specter has a power of 584 hp. and a maximum torque of 895 Nm, which is more than enough to easily move the almost 3-ton electric coupe, which is still capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. will travel 428 km on one charge with a 120 kWh battery.
Mansory hasn’t revealed the price of this Specter, but if you consider that The standard price of the first Rolls electric car starts from 390,000 euros. It can be assumed that after such preparation, the half-million euro limit will be much closer, if not outright surpassed.
