Electric battery's you can't even go 200km distance without recharge it

@@the-wave417 You can actually. But since a Rolls-Royce already weighs 8 elephants who knows how this will go.

@@the-wave417 you didn't even watch the video, did you? it has a range of 300 miles

rolls royce spectre has a range of 310 miles (around 500 km), lucid air has a range of 410 miles (640 km), tesla model 3 has a range of 330 miles (530 km) priced just at 40k usd, so nice try troll that can't spell.

@Ar1AnX1x i hate electric cars 😌

Looks cool but it's not dampened properly at the end of the day.

@@triedproven9908you couldn’t be more wrong and you don’t know RR. Their moniker is waftability after all.

@@triedproven9908it’s not supposed to be a sports car rolls’ dampers have dampers. All dampers are designed to do is decrease vibrations/oscillations and if you got in the car I think you would believe that it is damped perfectly because you wouldn’t be feeling any vibrations and you wouldn’t feel the car oscillating and being unsettled on the road like an old American car that never stops wobbling

That's shocking

That's shocking

V12 is the perfect ICE engine unfortunately it only serves its purpose with massive vehicles.. EVs are the worst choice for a vehicle with such dimensions.. the rim size alone destroys the battery array capacity.

@@absolutium Ya, plus 300 miles is nothing, just driving around in the city, can't rely on it for long distance.

@@ogremair803rolls Royce owners typically aren’t doing long journeys in the rolls tho according to surveys they did. And they much prefer never having to stop at a gas station and just charge at home.

@@absolutiuminline 6 is good too.

Not for me, you wouldn’t buy an electric Rolex so why would you buy and electric Rolls Royce? The results may be similar but the mechanics of the electric options have no poetry. This is why Swiss movement watches are so valuable, they are not more accurate or functionally better (although function and accuracy still surpasses requirements) they are valued because they works of art. Give me the v12 option any day.

Same!

Never say never

Never seen this chap before, he gave a great review and didn't try to be 'wacky' top marks.

It even has the classic temperature dials.

That’s what I was happy to see most. No cheap shit tablet the size of a TV, with a ridiculous overly techy scheme. Still a true luxury automobile.

​@Jashin_Geh it literally has iPad stuck in the dash lol by your logic

@@Divine_Serpent_Geh yeah buttons are definitely necessary and not outdated, I don't mind the big screen in the middle of dashboard like Mercedes does(a lot of other people don't like it)but there should be buttons for everything that the driver has to have access to without having to look for it on the screen, not only for easier access but it's dangerous to make the driver have to look at the screen constantly, even the map and song playlist should be in the screen behind the steering wheel right in front of the driver, I think its stupid when Tesla and others try to have no buttons and this no button style will be outdated soon in my opinion, it's not the future, buttons will be there in the future.

I'm so happy that they are sticking to the classics, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and I hate Tesla for what they turned the car interiors into.

I'm actually sad that most electric vehicles still look like petrol-cars. I think it is poor design and a waste of space to have a fake engine room.

Its so weird how people hate on the new bmw 7 series when this and that look identical from the front i actually prefer the bmw one. People forget that BMW owns rolls royce

RR never meant for performance, i never really liked them because they are more a spa than a car , and i think electric helps more in terms of luxury . Might be the first elite car to be compatible with electric

V12 doesn’t mean performance tho, it means smooth effortless acceleration and passing power at any rpms

@@K1Kamikaze Have you ever driven an electric car? Effortless acceleration and instant torque are bread and butter to EVs. No gears, just instant oomf.

Quite agree - It takes a confident manufacturer to swim against the tide of touch screens. Ergonomically, touch screens are dreadful and make car interiors look like a cheap office. Hopefully when other manufacturers see this, we can return to tactile knobs and buttons which hide all the tech.

don't worry, you'll never get it

Mazda is the other manufacturer that have a good balance between buttons and screens.

@@dbclass4075 Absolutely!!

"Ready to rock and Rolls" was pretty cheesy

The only requirement is that it moves the car effortlessly and the passengers don't realise its there.

They do and they take enormous pride in their power plants. I have owned more than you have fingers and toes ! Electric is the future and their motors will be of the highest quality.

They actually have made top end aeronautical power plants for a long time so they do care, they just don't talk about it because it's "vulgar" lmao.

Going by your comment in this scenario on not giving a shit about their power-plant then why didn't they go for an inline 4 for their products or something absurd or even Hybrid {surely they have some prototypes but not an actual production car on hybrid's} The thing is they care and that's why they don't give a shit on cost of their product what they really care about is Refinement and Quality control which for them even as a coach-builder's standpoint is Phenomenal, That's why they gave their mahoosive engines which don't pose in the name of BHP but they sure really are a Torque monster to pull that weight on an ICE power-plant that's why they also had a Rolls Royce with an V16 engine for a Bespoke vehicle so they give a shit about their, power-plant but not on cost to achieve that finesse and bespoke design and best Quality control overall, But on a lighter comedic note, If that's the case then would like to have Rolls Royce with a mini nuclear power reactor for cleanest and most efficient tech on the planet for green fuel,

Kid, a luxury car has all of that already, making it ev just added a bunch of cables and now you can't travel more than 2 hours.

​@@potatochobitkid, a rolls Royce customer doesn't travel more than 2 hours by CAR and yes, the electric drivetrain doesn't change anything in the driving experience itself, even a gradual smooth rise in power is programmed into the way this delivers power much different to most other EVs on the market

​@@potatochobityou legit think we still have 2010's ev tech 💀

Thank you.

The 3 guys that do the magazine. Ollie M, Jack and Ollie K are actually very good. Far better than the Harris, McGuiness and Flintoff combo. Probably because they are actual journos first so they understand language. Much like Clarkson, Hammond and May were. Not just gurning morons!

@@oemglobal3535 exactly, thats why i stopped watching top gear

What the f**k is a Citroen “ day s “ ?? Does he mean a D S ? And it’s second best driving to a Citroen ??? Iv driven Ds and they are crap , any new vw / merc is better driving that a ds and he’s putting it in front of a RR ? 😂😂😂

perhaps its a generational thing; but i find him intensely annoying

this makes the least sense, it will never come close to the Mechanical Masterpiece of a 12 Cylinder RR Engine. Its the Dumbest car

​@@SJRS700 i think hes right, because the point of the v12 was that it was the most balanced engine so they could add enough sound dampening to make it completely quiet in the cabin

How does a length of 18 feet and a weight of 3 tons make sense ? Yes its a stunning car, but it's too big and too heavy. A Bentley GT is over 2 ft shorter and is still a large car.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 A Rolls has always been meant to be as smooth and quiet as possible.... an EV does that. Not everything EV has to be based in being economical.

@@SJRS700 This is quieter and smoother. It makes perfect sense for a Rolls.

The phantom is basically silent inside already, so not much difference

I’ve been in the one of loudest rolls royce being a black badge model and unless you have your foot to the floor you could easily be convinced that it was an EV

I believe most owners will use employees as the primary drivers, ones qualified to learn as if it's a craft.

​@@undercatviperfun fact, the most recent phantom is actually intentionally noisier than its prototype because people riding in the prototype were getting nauseous from the sensory dysjunction of feeling movement and acceleration while hearing nothing. They had to reduce its noise isolation to fix it.

BMW I7 comes close

Yep. The white on the outside is awful. Looks unfinished. The blue is lovely though

That blue is salamanca blue I think.

That's my thinking. If luxury, smoothness, and performance is the utmost importance, i would think Rolls Royce would do electric far earlier. And if I'm on Tesla board of directors, I would push them to joint venture with Rolls Royce. Phantom with model S underpinning would be perfect.

@@KarrasBastomi Why would Rolls go for that?

@@Nayson I don't see why they would either. They can do better than Tesla lol

@@RYTF5 not when it comes to motor tech and battery engineering

@@KarrasBastomi I mean Rolls Royce is BMW so they absolutely have the resources to develop and improve their own EV drivetrain. I don't think they would risk their reputation by doing a partnership with the company that is known for low quality control, even though they have much better EV-tech

An EV, 'charging' - I see what you did there... 😁

then friend you know nothing about mechanical craftmanship masterpiece of 12 cylinder rolls royce engine, Spectre is for climate crying snobs, anyone with a brain knows its generic and boring

Stunning car but not very practical ,you can't take the whole family and gear with you on trips ! It's basically a two person luxury boat !

LOL, I just said that. Then read down and see you said it first. In fact, for a moment, I wasn't sure if the wrap was still on.

Do your centerlock caps stay upright?

18ft and 3 tons doesn't really. Although stunning, it's too big and too heavy.

They'll make it for sure. They just released this first, knowing that some of the cullinan customer would buy the "all new EV RR." They'll get to milk them again with the release of an EV Cullinan.

The two year waitlist says different… the cullinan is already selling well. This will help bolster sales fuerher

Development of this probably started well before the Cullinan, and would've been too heavy

Fair take but I think having that V12 while electric cars are still “early” was a good move for the enthusiasts or whatever, building an entirely diff vehicle is what I personally would’ve wanted as well tbh but I can’t afford it yet so it doesn’t matter too much

@@nomoreheroes93 a Hummer EV weighs nearly 10k lbs...what qualifies as "too heavy" nowadays?

Sounds? But it’s electric

@@MrSandChess yeah, that’s the point. A Rolls Royce wafts silently… if you want a growling V12, buy a Bentley

@@BobTheBluebentleys are v8 or w12, no v12

@@muhammadsalmanumer8136 not really… w12 is just 2x v6 on a 45degree angle (hence the “w”)… it’s still a 12 cylinder engine block

@@BobTheBlue actually, yes really. You said V12. You did not say W12. Don't go trying to weasel your way into lecturing someone about how your wrong information is actually correct if they'd just look at it through your contorted lens of reality. A W12 is not a V12. It's not (2) V6's either. That's like saying a double whopper is actually just 2 regular whoppers, 1 stacked on top of the other. No! It's a fucking double WHOPPER!
