Review of Rolls-Royce Spectre Rental In Dubai

Rolls-Royce has been associated with luxury since the brand's inception in 1906. The entire car fleet of this company has vehicles with famous designs, Rolls-Royce grilles, and the well-recognized logo, the Spirit of Ecstasy.

If you were to explain what luxury means in the simplest terms, you would have to point to any Rolls-Royce car. However, there used to be one milestone that the manufacturer had yet to reach that other brands have: releasing an electric vehicle. Recently, that has changed, and now we have the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

This Rolls-Royce Spectre overview focuses on this new, impressive model by the legendary brand that you find at Trinity Rental.

Brief Model History

In September 2021, Rolls-Royce introduced the Spectre and confirmed they had started testing it. Then, on 18 October 2022, the manufacturer revealed the Spectre on social media, which caused a lot of hype because of its amazing appearance and the fact that it was the company's first attempt to release an electric vehicle.

Rolls-Royce often gives its models names with a supernatural theme (like Rolls-Royce Ghost), and the Spectre follows that tradition.

Fun fact: Spectres are a catchy type of avenging ghost that possesses a person, so the brand makes an interesting decision. Although it makes sense, Spectre has a more «fierce» design with a big grille at the front, massive wheels, and a more realistic Spirit of Ecstasy with a lower and more dynamic stance.

Now, back to the model's history. The company officially launched the Spectre in Napa Valley, California, during the summer of 2023. Emma Begley, who handles global communications, said they chose Napa because California is a luxury hub (and the United States is still the biggest market for the brand).

In 2024, the company revealed a custom version called the Spectre Semaphore. It features a special yellow color inspired by California's unique terrains.

The photos of this design are features on the official brand’s website, so you can check them out in detail in this Rolls-Royce Spectre overview. It's also worth mentioning that in the first year of production, the manufacturer produced around 2,500 cars, which were sold out immediately. That's why it's so impressive that luxury car rental of Spectre is now available at Trinity Rental in Dubai.

Rolls-Royce Spectre Specifications

Spectre is clearly a creation of Rolls-Royce, with its well-recognized design, logo, and other features… and yet it's somehow different. This model is truly massive without looking bulky or ridiculous. According to the review, it has a more upright front, and the corners of the Spectre's bonnet slope slightly downward compared to models like Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

In simple words, the model looks more aerodynamic. There's also something about the shining grille, located lower and wider than usual. Suddenly, it makes sense why the model is linked to the vengeance spirit.

The fascinating exterior is not the only impressive thing about the vehicle. The specs are remarkable, considering this is an electric car. It's also worth mentioning that the price is astonishing, but not in the same sense as the overall fascination with the design: it starts at $500,000! So, no wonder the technical characteristics are top: they'd better be with that price tag. Although you can always consider short or long term rental of Spectre.

Let's dive deeper into this Rolls-Royce Spectre review, because the car is worth everyone's attention.

Exterior

The review shows that the exterior of the Rolls-Royce Spectre combines classic elegance with modern features. It keeps the signature Rolls-Royce style, but it's more bold than most people expect from the manufacturer.

The iconic front grille attracts attention. Its new slightly lower and wider position means that the vehicle has acquired a more aggressive look without sacrificing class. The car also has large 23-inch wheels, which contribute to its heavier presence on the road.

One standout detail is how the car's body seems designed to cut through the air with ease. This Rolls-Royce Spectre review shows that the model has more smooth lines and a gently sloping roofline, which improve the aerodynamics. Spectre looks like it's about to launch into movement even when the engine is turned off.

The exterior makes the Spectre look traditionally elegant, yet futuristic at the same time. The new Spirit of Ecstasy emblem also matches the exterior, as it's more realistic and is smaller. Every element of the Spectre's exterior feels like the designers spent plenty of time thinking about even the tiniest details to create a modern masterpiece that guarantees a positive experience to everyone who simply takes a look at the vehicle.

Interior

The Spectre's interior offers enough space for four people, with comfy-looking bucket seats in the front and back. If you've ever seen the inside of other Rolls-Royce models, you'll find the interior of this model rather traditional. On the other hand, why change something when it's flawless?

Rolls-Royce Spectre rental review shows the luxury style is also as impressive, but the Spectre brings a few unique tweaks. Along with the brand's signature starry-night headliner, the door panels shine with tiny LED lights around the armrests. It provides a magical effect to the cabin, and the idea aligns with the «vengeance spirit» theme. The LED lights don't look tacky; after all, it's a Rolls-Royce.

There hasn't been a full list of features or customization options to post in this Rolls-Royce Spectre review just yet, but Rolls-Royce is known for offering nearly endless choices. You can expect a range of materials and design options to make it feel personal.

Technical Characteristics

The Rolls-Royce Spectre's electric powertrain delivers truly high-level performance. This all-wheel-drive coupe uses a dual-motor setup, combining a 255-horsepower front motor and a 483-horsepower rear motor. That puts out 577 horsepower and a seriously strong 664 lb-ft (or 0.3 ton) of torque.

If you're concerned about speed, don't be. Despite weighing around 6,600 pounds (or 3.3 tons), this heavy machine accelerates to 60 mph (or 100 km) in just 4.5 seconds. So, while it isn't trying to beat the Tesla Model S Plaid in terms of acceleration, it moves with enough speed, which fits the luxury brand's image.

The Spectre has a massive 102-kWh battery pack, enough to take about 260 miles (418.43 km) per charge. If you're in a hurry, the car supports DC fast charging, adding plenty of range quickly, though most owners will likely prefer charging at home. With onboard charging at 22 kW, it tops up fairly efficiently.

The Spectre is also big. Its dimensions include a wheelbase of 126.4 inches (3.21 m) and an overall length of 215.6 inches (5.48 m). It's wide, too — nearly 80 inches (2.03 m), with a height of 61.9 inches (1.57 m). But the interior space is no slouch either. The trunk gives you about 13 cubic feet (0.37 m³) of volume for your bags, and the cabin provides enough space for four adults to ride comfortably.

It's also worth mentioning that Spectre has several useful driver-assistance functions:

  • Lane-departure warning that also has a lane-keeping assist function.
  • Adaptive cruise control + a lane-centering feature.
  • Standard automated emergency braking.

All Spectre models have touchscreen infotainment systems inside the beautifully designed dashboard.

As most people would expect, all technologies are well-integrated into the Spectre's cabin design, so it looks elegant but is packed with useful functions. A Bespoke Audio stereo system also features modern aluminum speaker grilles.

To sum up, you get the classic Rolls-Royce combination of luxury, top performance, and useful technical features in one massive coupe.

Pros and Cons of Rolls-Royce Spectre Rental in Dubai

The Rolls-Royce Spectre isn't just an electric car; it's an electric Rolls-Royce, which means luxury first, with electricity second. It isn't trying to save the world, and it's not loaded with eco-friendly materials.

Sure, it uses green energy for battery production, but don't mistake it for being «green». You'll choose this car for rent or to buy it because it's a masterpiece of luxury, not for its environmental credentials. With that in mind, let's dive into the pros and cons of this electric titan:

The brand's first electric car, Spectre, proves that luxury can be equipped with an electric engine. You won't feel the sweet rumble of a V12, but you will enjoy the peace inside the cabin. Spectre has a traditionally elegant exterior, yet it's unique and futuristic. The price tag means that you have to consider your options, so you may want to rent the car without or with driver to give it a test drive before committing financially.

ProsCons
The ride feels unbelievably smooth, almost like you're gliding and very quiet.It has limited boot space, which seems odd for such a large car.
The electric power guarantees immediate and powerful torque.Maneuvering it around town can be a bit difficult; after all, we didn't lie when we said the car is massive (yet elegant).
The interior is stunning, and the manufacturer used traditionally luxurious materials.It might feel like it's missing a bit of the soul that a V12 engine used to bring, but that may be just the nostalgia speaking in people who think the electric Rolls-Royce is the end of an era.
An elegant yet futuristic design. You can see the photos of the car for yourself to find proof of this statement. While it keeps the traditional elegance of the brand, it's somehow more appealing. 
Improved aerodynamics in all aspects of the model + positive reviews from anyone who tested Spectre. 
Top performance and great technical characteristics. It's easy to use all the features of the vehicle, driving is simple, and the overall experience is positive.
