British luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce teased its first-ever all-electric vehicle on Wednesday -- an ultra-luxe coupe dubbed 'Spectre.'
Set to launch in late 2023, the teaser images released by the company reveal a far slimmer and more aerodynamic shape than what is typically expected from Rolls-Royce vehicles, which are known for their boxy frames. Considering the car will not be out for another two years, customers can expect it to be equipped with BMW's (Roll Royce's parent company) fifth-generation EV technology. What this means is that 'Spectre' should support battery sizes up to 120 kilowatt-hours with a range close to 400 miles per charge.
According to Rolls-Royce's CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, prototypes of the 'Spectre' are nearly ready for public testing, which will include over 1.5 million miles of driving.
