In an interview with CNBC, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said that over the two weeks prior to the debut, the prospective buyers had visited the company’s headquarters in Goodwood England to get a sneak peek at the new EV, with a starting price tag of $413,000
Muller-Otvos said, “Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls Royce has ever produced.”
With a range of 320 miles, the two-door coupe accelerates from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. The company is touting their new offering as an “Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé.”
