Design and Aesthetics

Exterior Design

The Rolls-Royce Spectre is simply a marvel to look at. Out of all the vehicles available from Phantom Hire’s luxury fleet, you could even argue that it is the most luxurious of the bunch. Everything about the exterior exudes prestige, from the dynamic sloping fender line to the yacht-esque lower waft line, creating the illusion of movement even when the car is stoof completely still.

The car also comes with the iconic Rolls-Royce Illuminated Grille. This immediately lets any passerby know that you mean business. Additionally, the Grille can be switched on and off at your command, adding an interesting twist to your luxury journey. This distinctive glow is also found in the vehicle’s jewel-like taillights.

Interior Luxury

The Rolls-Royce Spectre’s interior provides a luscious experience that can’t be found anywhere else. The car comes with comfortable seats with complementary massage settings, as well as a chilled drinks fridge containing all your favourite beverages. When you experience the Spectre, you’ll experience a car that would usually be reserved for the elites of society.

And if that wasn’t enough, the car also contains a modern infotainment system. This helps keep passengers connected as they make their way to their destination. You can track your progress throughout your journey, and also control of the car’s state-of-the-art entertainment system, most notably the bespoke audio speakers. When you ride in the Spectre, you’re riding in a car that is designed to provide the very best of what Phantom Hire has to offer.

Performance & Technology

Electric Powertrain

Unlike its gasoline-powered relatives, the Rolls-Royce Spectre is powered entirely by a dual-motor electric powertrain. This ensures a whisper-quiet ride, providing an experience unlike any other luxury vehicle. It boasts a performance level that matches the traditional Rolls-Royce standards of comfort and power, making it the perfect blend of modern electric mobility and luxury.

Battery & Range

Thanks to its 120 kWh battery, the Spectre can travel a distance of about 320 miles per charge. This allows the driver to travel extremely long distances without ever having to ‘refuel’. If need to travel a long distance to get where you’re going, the Spectre is the one for you.

The Apex of Vehicular Sustainability

Thanks to its entirely electrical capabilities, the Spectre has provided an emission-free alternative for clients, opening the door for a bright, environmentally friendly future for luxury vehicle hire. As such, the car has rightly earned a reputation as a brilliant mix of modern luxury and environmental awareness. Let’s break down some features that contribute to the car’s environmentally friendly capabilities.

Sustainable Features

All-Electric Powertrain

The car’s electric powertrain is the key to its sustainable nature. This feature has helped move the car away from the internal combustion engines of prior Rolls-Royce models to a fully-electric system. However, this by no means reduces the car’s capabilities. The Spectre can go from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. This highlights a strong balance between quality and sustainability.

Additionally, the vehicle’s immensely powerful battery is specially designed to provide passengers with an utterly smooth ride whilst keeping the car’s carbon footprint to an absolute minimum. By removing the need for fossil fuels, the Spectre will provide a significant advancement in the reduction of the luxury vehicle industry’s environmental impact.

Sustainable Materials

Although Rolls Royce has always prioritised luxurious materials within the designs of its vehicles, the Spectre’s production marks a major step towards acuiring those materials more sustainably. Everything from the smooth leather adorning the seats to the smoothed wood of its interior is sourced responsibly by collaborating with ethical suppliers, who will ensure that the materials are via ethical logging practices and leather harvesting.

Additionally, unlike most Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Spectre is made of lightwight aluminium. This reduces the vehicle’s overall weight, allowing the Spectre to travel at fast speeds whilst maintaining a smooth, comfortable pace. Furthermore, the materials that make up the Spectre are 100% recyclable. This further reinforcing the Spectre’s original mission statement to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to other luxury cars.

Sustainable Production Process

The Spectre’s sustainable nature isn’t just limited to its powertrain and materials. The manner in which the vehicle is made also relfects the original mission statement; to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional Rolls Royce vehicles. Additionally, Rolls-Royce’s manufacturing plant has committed itself to reducing carbon emissions, which means that both the product itself and the process of making it remain environmentally friendly.
