The 600-horsepower sedan uses a pair of electric motors that allows a 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Cadillac Celestiq will start at around $300k while production will start in December of 2023.

Rolls-Royce entered the world of electrification on Tuesday with the launch of its first-ever electric vehicle (EV), the Spectre – a two-door Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupe.
While its driving range is yet to be announced, Rolls-Royce estimates around 320-mile (520 km) range on fully charged battery-pack.
Rolls-Royce Spectre’s powertrain allows a zero-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph.
