CARROS Magazine – Rolls-Royce Spectre: a luxury game changer

Ferraris scream, AMGs roar and Bentleys roar. But in the world of combustion engine cars, only one brand is consistently associated with the absence of noise. Rolls-Royces have always been whisperers, although they generally have more cylinders under the hood than most sports car brands. That is called British understatement. But those whispers are now also a thing of the past. With the new Rolls-Royce Specter you will never hear anything again. Completely cut off from the outside world, you gently pull towards your destination. The buzzing sound comes from the tires, which are also designed to be as quiet as possible. Of course you can hire someone to drive you, but according to Rolls-Royce, most Specter owners prefer to drive themselves.

Paparazzi

Because you don’t drive a Rolls-Royce because you want to stay incognito. And we didn’t stay like that. We felt like celebrities for the entire weekend, being chased by the paparazzi. Car spectators stuck for hours until I returned, I was chased for several kilometers by cars with cameras and phones hanging on every side and the hands of young people started shaking when I said they could stay behind the wheel for a while. The Specter doesn’t just impress when you choose ‘in your face’ colors like ‘cheesecake pink’, ‘cheeky yellow’ or a green-green that – if it wasn’t on a Rolls-Royce – we’d describe as ‘diarrhea’. green’. The Specter matches the other cars in terms of scale(1)parts of the dead. The wheels, the height in the dry, the width and the size of the doors: in everything, this model is larger than life. That attracts the audience. Introverts will not be very happy behind the wheel, because everyone looks inside. One quick finger up your nose and ten people will have seen it.
