Can we all agree that Rolls-Royces look best in black? Well, we are aware of a few companies that would agree to disagree, and by companies, we mean tuners. One is Mansory, whose project is still in the making, and another is Keyvany, an equally controversial name that has recently maimed several high-end vehicles.
Their portfolio has now grown to include the mighty Rolls-Royce Spectre. This high-end ultra-luxury electric grand tourer has received a few aftermarket add-ons in the form of a body kit. It comprises the usual parts all around, including a new apron, diffuser, and hood, with a few other bits and bobs rounding it off.
Keyvany seems to have forgotten that the Spectre is a battery-electric vehicle, as these sketches, which they just shared on social media, show it with exhaust tips. There's always the possibility that they've added them on purpose, as they could be part of the body kit. If that's the case, then the whole project is even stupider than we thought.
No tuned car would be complete without a set of large wheels, and the all-quiet Rolls-Royce ticks this box, too. It rides on a set of multi-spoke alloys that can be had in multiple shades, presumably. The tuner's official renderings portray the Spectre in several hues, including dual-tone finishes and the usual pinstripes, suggesting that additional personalization is possible.

At first glance, one might be tempted to say that this is still a work in progress. But they'd be wrong, as Keyvany says the parts are already available to order. Naturally, we searched their website, eager to find out how much everything costs, but we couldn't find any reference to this model whatsoever. Thus, interested parties will have to get in touch with them to find out how much they'll have to cough out to have Keyvany maim their otherwise fine Rolls-Royce Spectre.
If there's one thing this tuner is unknown for, it is its power boosts. Nevertheless, it's not like we're talking about a super sports model that was designed to feast on apexes. Instead, it is one of the most luxurious vehicles money can buy today. And it still is impressively quick. Tipping the scales at around 6,600 pounds (~3 tons), the Spectre takes just four and a half seconds to reach sixty mph (97 kph).
Power is supplied by the dual motors, which develop a combined 567 hp and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. The Spectre is not an intercontinental cruiser, but it still has enough range for the occasional weekend getaway. With the battery fully charged, it can travel 320 mi (515 km) before needing to be plugged in again. Price-wise, it starts at around $400k in the United States.
