This creates a low seating position and enveloping cabin but also provides almost 700kg of sound deadening. A channel has been created for wiring and climate control pipework between the battery and the floor, with the battery mounted underneath, providing a smoother underfloor profile. The flexibility of the architecture has also allowed engineers to place the floor halfway between the sill structures rather than on top or underneath them. A dedicated control has been handmade for each of the 141,200 sender-receiver variables, and in nearly all cases engineers have designed several more sub-variables for variations in climate, ground speed, road type, vehicle status and driving style.īuilding upon the all-aluminium spaceframe architecture established with the 2003 Goodwood-era Phantom, the extruded aluminium sections and integration of the battery into the structure of the motor car enable it to be 30% stiffer than any previous Rolls-Royce. Owners are able to interact with their car remotely and receive live information from the manufacturer. This redesigned digital architecture – SPIRIT – will manage the motor car’s functions and integrate with Rolls Royce’ Whispers app. The vehicle will feature a system of ‘Decentralised Intelligence’ which connects 1,000+ vehicle functions. For this reason, I believe Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls-Royce has ever produced,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “This is the start of a bold new chapter for our marque, our extraordinary clients, and the luxury industry. Two meters wide and featuring split headlights and a wide grille, the Spectre’s 0.25cd drag coefficient makes this the most aerodynamic motor car ever produced by Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce said the design for the Spectre is based on haute couture, modernist sculpture, nautical design, tailoring and contemporary art.
