Rolls-Royce Spectre EV Heads To France For Second Phase Of Testing Ahead Of 2023 Launch 

Rolls-Royce Spectre electric vehicle (EV) heads to France for second phase of demanding 2.5 million kilometre testing programme.

During the second phase, Rolls-Royce’s test and development engineers will focuse on the motor car’s everyday use.

On and around the French Côte d’Azur, the Spectre will cover a total distance of 625,000 kilometres (390,000 miles).

It will follow Spectre’s first phase of testing – extreme cold testing in Sweden – which was successfully completed in April.

Spectre is Rolls-Royce first ultra-luxury electric vehicle (EV) which is planned to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Last year, British luxury marque Rolls-Royce confirmed that it had commenced testing of the Spectre, its first ultra-luxury electric vehicle (EV) which is planned to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2023.

To ensure Spectre is first and foremost a Rolls-Royce, the brand says prototypes of the Spectre will embark on a 2.5 million kilometres trip in all conditions and over all terrains around the world to simulate 400 years of use.

In April, Rolls-Royce announced that the Spectre has successfully completed winter testing in Arjeplog, Sweden. This extreme cold test concludes the first stage of the most demanding 2.5 million kilometre testing programme Rolls-Royce has ever conceived.

The second phase of testing began over the past months at the French Riviera region of southern France, where the marque’s test and development engineers are focusing on the motor car’s everyday use.

On and around the French Côte d’Azur, the Spectre will cover a total distance of 625,000 kilometres (390,000 miles), forming a crucial part of Spectre’s 2.5 million kilometre global testing programme.

“It is no exaggeration to state that Spectre is the most anticipated Rolls-Royce ever. Free from the restrictions connected to the internal combustion engine, our battery-electric vehicle will offer the purest expression of the Rolls-Royce experience in the marque’s 118-year history.

“This latest testing phase proves a suite of advanced technologies that underpin a symbolic shift for Rolls-Royce as it progresses towards a bright, bold, all-electric future. This will secure the ongoing relevance of our brand for generations to come.”
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
