Rolls-Royce Unveils Electric Spectre Convertible
17 Apr
Summary
- Project Nightingale is a limited-edition two-seat convertible.
- It is based on the Spectre electric vehicle platform.
- Only 100 units will be produced worldwide and are already sold.
Rolls-Royce has introduced its latest Coachbuild Collection model, codenamed Project Nightingale. This exclusive vehicle is the first to utilize the brand's Spectre electric platform for a bespoke, two-seat convertible design. Limited to only 100 units globally, all examples have already been allocated to existing clientele.
The design draws inspiration from Rolls-Royce's high-speed experimental 'EX' models of the 1920s, featuring a distinct long, tapered rear end. Despite its convertible nature and advanced features like an electronically folding roof and the Starlight Breeze interior illumination, the electric powertrain ensures a silent operation.
Project Nightingale's foundation on the Spectre EV platform signifies Rolls-Royce's endorsement of its electric architecture. This initiative aims to bolster the Spectre's image as a halo model, especially as the company continues to offer its V12 internal combustion engines alongside its electric future. The rapid sell-out of all 100 units underscores strong customer confidence in electric vehicle investment.
