Rolls-Royce Spectre upgraded by Mansory

Mansory is a wizard in modifying high-end luxury cars, and now it has prepared special equipment for the ultra-luxury coupe Rolls-Royce Spectre.

Rolls-Royce introduced the Spectre model two years ago as a car that many consider a modern version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith. However, Rolls-Royce does not think so. “It’s not in any way the successor of the Wraith. It’s a different proposition for our clients. It will feel very different, it will look very different. We will go from combustion engines straight into electric when we substitute certain positions in our portfolio, “and that is the way forward,” said Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes at the beginning of 2022.

At first glance, the Spectre is no different from the standard model. However, the new carbon equipment kit brings an ultra-light hood, a front bumper with a new splitter, accessories around the intakes, a set of thin LED daytime running lights, a blacked-out front fascia, massive side grilles with fake intakes and sports side skirts with integrated wings. At the rear, there is a large diffuser, a carbon bumper, an optional third brake light in the style of Formula 1, a discreet roof spoiler and a more prominent lip spoiler on the edge of the trunk lid. Mansory claims the changes increase downforce on the rear axle.

Inside, the adjustable seats are covered in a combination of black and orange leather, while orange leather also covers the center console, the lower part of the dashboard, and the three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Black leather covers the upper part of the dashboard and the armrest, and there are also a lot of carbon parts.

Under the bonnet are two electric motors with a total power of 585 hp (430 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the 5.45 meter long Coupé to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). With one battery charge, the car has a range of 335 to 640 kilometers. It is mounted on a set of 23-inch FD.15 tires, and 24-inch rims with 295/30 R24 tires are also an option.
