The Newest Rolls-Royce Models, from Phantom to Spectre

Rolls-Royce does not make many models, and it does not need to. Each car in the range sits at the absolute summit of its category, built to a standard the rest of the industry measures itself against. Understanding the current lineup is understanding what the word luxury means at its highest level.

The Saloons

At the top of the range is the Phantom, the flagship and the most serene motor car the company builds, a vast, hand finished saloon designed above all for the passenger in the rear. Beneath it sits the Ghost, a slightly smaller and more understated saloon aimed at owners who are as likely to drive themselves. Both represent the traditional heart of Rolls-Royce, the effortless, silent luxury car.

The SUV and the Electric Coupe

The Cullinan, the marque's first SUV, extended that same refinement to a high riding, go anywhere body, and it introduced Rolls-Royce to a whole new group of buyers. Most significant of all is the Spectre, the first fully electric Rolls-Royce, now in Series II form, a grand coupe that begins the marque's transition away from the combustion engine. For those who want a darker, more powerful character, the Black Badge versions of these cars offer exactly that.

The Electric Future

Rolls-Royce has committed to becoming a fully electric marque, and the Spectre is the first step on that path. Because the brand has always prized silence and effortless power, the qualities an electric motor delivers most naturally, the change suits it more than almost any other maker. Whatever the powertrain, every Rolls-Royce can be commissioned through Bespoke, ensuring no two are ever quite the same. The range is small, but at this level, it is meant to be.
