Rolls-Royce looks to the past for the name of its first-ever electric vehicle

Not one to shy away from innovation, Rolls-Royce has been breaking boundaries in the automobile industry for over 118 years.

With that, the luxury motor car brand has revealed the name and history of its forthcoming battery-electric vehicle.

Quintessentially named ‘Spectre’. The name was last formally used by the historical brand in the 19th Century for individual and experimental models. No series production Rolls-Royce has worn the Spectre nameplate until now. However, this name is not to be mistaken with the James Bond film Spectre.

The present-day Spectre represents a significant shift for the luxury motor car brand both technically and philosophically as it marks the first all-electric Rolls-Royce.

Known for its luxurious and refined car names – Phantom, Ghost, Dawn, and Wraith – Spectre is yet another addition to the RR family.

Take a look below at the just released photos of the forth-coming Spectre.
