By Rolls Royce officially launched the Spectre in India at Rs. 7.5 Crore (Ex-Showroom), which is the base price as depending on adding the option, the price can go up by well above Rs. 10 crore. The Spectre is currently the most expensive four-wheeled electric vehicle currently on sale in the Indian market. The British manufacturer globally revealed the model in October 2022. Even before the official launch, the company had already delivered the first Spectre to a customer in Chennai, which is finished in a unique blue shade.

The interior is also unique as it features Rolls Royce’s new Spirit software platform which brings in connected car tech to the Spectre which will be subsequently introduced in other models too as it is a completely new software instead of the usual BMW i-drive software. The Spectre gets a 102 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which produces 593 PS and 900 Nm, 0-100 kph in 4.5 sec and the claimed WLTP range is 520 Km.
