Since its introduction in 2022, Spectre has become one of the most significant and celebrated Rolls-Royce motor cars of the modern era, widely praised for its timeless design, serene performance, and effortless driving character. Spectre Series II builds on this success. Engineering updates unlock 16% more range (308 total miles estimated EPA range), alongside higher torque of 749 lb-ft increased to 811 lb-ft in Spirited Mode and a 14% reduction in charging times.

Newly crafted interior illuminations, an expanded palette of exquisite materials, and striking exterior treatments further elevate the car’s interior possibilities. These changes sharpen Spectre’s character while preserving the qualities that have already established it as a future classic.

The adoption of NACS charging in the United States further enhances the effortless ownership experience expected of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, offering clients expanded access to an extensive and growing network of high-speed charging locations nationwide. NACS chargers are the fastest growing network in the United States and quickly becoming the standard for high quality and high reliability out-of-home charging. Designed to provide greater convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind, integration supports seamless longer-distance travel while reflecting the marque’s commitment to delivering a truly uncompromised luxury experience — one defined by ease, refinement, and freedom of choice.

This flawless model has clearly resonated with clients. In 2025, Spectre retained its position as the brand’s second best-selling model globally.

While Spectre’s range and performance already exceeded client expectations, engineers at Goodwood have recalibrated the motor car’s drivetrain to deliver even greater immediacy and control for Series II, further strengthening Black Badge Spectre’s standing as the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history. Power output now reaches 593 hp while torque rises to 749 lb.-ft. In Black Badge Spectre Series II, Infinity Mode unlocks 670 hp of power, while Spirited Mode summons up to 811 lb.-ft of torque.

Thanks to re-engineered battery cell technology, Spectre Series II’s potential driving range is increased by 16% to 308 miles (EPA estimated) and charging times have been reduced by 14%. This reinforces the brand’s commitment to both electric serenity and uncompromised capability.

Spectre has emerged as one of the most compelling canvases for Bespoke in Rolls-Royce’s contemporary portfolio, with some clients requesting more than 20 individual and personal Bespoke elements in their motor car. Demand for Bespoke commissions on Spectre is surpassed only by Phantom. In addition to the near-limitless opportunities for Bespoke through the marque’s Private Offices, Spectre Series II introduces a new suite of crafted elements and materials and finishes in response to clients’ increasing desire for highly ambitious and expressive commissions.

The super coupe’s celebrated fastback profile, clean surfacing, and split headlamp signature are retained for Spectre Series II, underlining the marque’s confidence in this initial, widely acclaimed design. Since launch, Spectre has been widely praised as one of the most elegant automotive forms of the era and now stands alongside Phantom Coupe and other revered Goodwood-era models in the marque’s collector canon. Among the international accolades Spectre has received, its timeless design is consistently celebrated by judging panels, while clients have embraced Spectre as a true modern masterpiece. To accentuate Spectre’s form and surfacing, a new solid exterior finish, named Ethereal Blue, has been developed for Spectre Series II.

A new 23-inch forged alloy wheel design introduces a highly faceted multi-spoke treatment that captures and reflects light from every angle. The wheel is forged with exceptionally sharp 0.1-inch radii, allowing the surfaces to retain their crisp diamond-like definition even after polishing. Each wheel is hand-finished for up to six hours to achieve this precise faceting and is available in two finishes: part-polished and fully polished.

Responding to the exceptional creative ambition of Spectre clients, Spectre Series II significantly expands the interior palette, offering new materials, treatments, and crafted details of remarkable depth and variety. Among them is Duality Twill — a contemporary interior rayon fabric made from bamboo, now available within Spectre for the first time. A Duality Twill interior on Spectre Series II can incorporate up to 2.6 million stitches and more than ten miles of thread, requiring up to 25 total hours to construct.

Placed Perforation leather is also available for Spectre Series II, where precision-cut patterns are created to reveal unique artworks. For its debut, designers created a pattern inspired by the shifting silhouettes cast by clouds in moonlight. Spanning the shoulder and headrest areas of the front and rear seats, it comprises 78,138 perforations in three different sizes: 0.03 inch, 0.04 inch, and 0.05 inch. If the perforations are extended to the illuminated door option, the pattern subtly disperses as it approaches each light source, creating a soft, atmospheric diffusion effect reminiscent of starlight emerging through shifting night skies.

The Interior Panel and Clock Gallery now span the entire width of the fascia, joined by a new Illuminated Fascia artwork. Its directional wave pattern is composed of 8,108 individual pixel-like illuminations that appear to flow across the surface, reinforcing Spectre Series II’s strong horizontal character. The design draws inspiration from the shifting mist that settles over the woodlands of the South Downs, which rise beyond the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.

A new timepiece has also been introduced. Its design takes inspiration from precision aviation instruments, which prioritize absolute legibility. The dial features cast metal hands and a pared-back graphic treatment that reflects the motor car’s contemporary character. In addition to housing a new timepiece, the unique inset vitrine showcases an up-lit Spirit of Ecstasy figurine crafted from solid stainless steel.

A BOLD NEW PALETTE FOR BLACK BADGE

For Black Badge Spectre Series II, a suite of new design enhancements further dramatizes the marque’s alter ego, amplifying its intense and uncompromising character.

A new Iced Black Exterior Detailing offering has been developed, transforming almost all of the motor car’s brightwork with a matte finish.

  • The treatment is applied to the grille surround, side frame finishers, bumper inserts, ‘Double R’ Badge of Honor side surround, door handles, and the Spirit of Ecstasy.
  • The effect is achieved using a specially developed matte clear coat, creating a refined, satin-like finish.
  • Notably, the vanes of the Pantheon Grille remain polished.

A new wheelset has also been developed to create an even more imposing visual character for Black Badge.

  • The open-spoke design places emphasis on the motor car’s powerful braking hardware, while a polished outer ring — pushed to the very edge of the wheel — accentuates the diameter of the seven-spoke structure.
  • A subtle sparkle effect is achieved through fine glass flakes embedded within the finish.
  • This bold new design is also available in Iced Matte Black — the first time a Black Badge wheel has been offered in this finish — created using a specialized high-temperature curing process.

Rolls-Royce specialists mapped how clients live with their Spectre.

  • Typically, the second Rolls-Royce in a seven-car garage, Spectre is nonetheless driven extensively.
  • While the average annual mileage of around 4,000 miles remains consistent with other two-door Rolls-Royce motor cars, such as Wraith, Dawn, and Phantom Coupe.
  • Spectre is increasingly used for personal driving enjoyment, charged almost exclusively at home, and most often driven solo — affirming its identity as a true driver’s Rolls-Royce.

Spectre’s effortless usability has seen many clients embrace it as a daily motor car.

  • One European client has traveled more than 30,000 miles in the two years since taking delivery — more than three times the average annual mileage typically recorded by a Rolls-Royce.
  • One well-known collector based in Los Angeles has also made Spectre a daily companion. One pleasure of their ownership, they have told the marque, is the short journey from their residence at the top of a hill to their garage below — a drive in which the motor car arrives with more range than it started, thanks to regenerative braking.

Spectre is equally recognized by clients as a long-term emotional asset and a unique canvas for Bespoke individualization. Spectre has been reimagined as:

  • A tribute to a client couple’s lifelong relationship, symbolized by a Bespoke Starlight Headliner configured with the constellations as they were on the day they first met.
  • A celebration, through exquisite marquetry, of a cherished family dog named Bailey; an extension of a client’s home, directly mirroring the hues and textures of their living space.
  • A continuation of a notable haute joaillerie collection, drawing inspiration from a color associated with their favorite designer.
  • A client in Korea has taken the act of commissioning further by creating a gallery space within their residence in which to display their Spectre as a work of art.These insights reflect emotional breadth, creative depth, and driving pleasure clients now associate with this landmark motor car, all of which shaped the subtle refinements introduced for Spectre Series II.
