2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre

The Spectre is the car that proved Rolls-Royce could go electric without losing its composure. Its dual-motor drivetrain delivers 577 bhp and 664 ft-lb of torque, enough for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds, but the real appeal is how that shove is delivered: silently, seamlessly and with the unhurried gait the marque is known for. This example is finished in Black Diamond metallic over Black leather with Grace White contrast, and has covered just 4,205 miles.

The specification is where it stands out, with more than £100,000 of factory options. The headline items are the Shooting Star headliner (£15,090) and the Starlight Doors (£10,320), a feature new with the Spectre. It also has 23-inch part-polished seven-spoke wheels, Bespoke Audio, ventilated massage seats, an illuminated fascia and a technical bespoke clock. Grace White is carried through the shoulder coachline, leather finisher pack, extended seat piping and wheel-centre pinstripes, so the car looks coordinated rather than simply loaded with options.

It is a UK-supplied car with full paint protection film. A Rolls-Royce warranty and maintenance package runs until September 2028. Early Spectres lost a lot of value from their list prices, and used prices have since settled just under £300,000. That makes a lightly used, richly optioned car like this one easier to justify than it was when new.
