Rolls-Royce Spectre by Novitec for Sale, You'll Need More Than an Ouija Board To Buy It

This high-end GT boasts electric firepower and is the spiritual successor to the Wraith (and Dawn). It is bigger than a Mercedes S-Class, heavier than a Cadillac Escalade ESV, and worth every penny – should you afford such a magnificent jewel.

You see, at first glance, the idea of owning a Rolls-Royce Spectre may not be that exciting. However, the all-quiet nature of the electric drivetrain suits this model perfectly, and those who have had the chance to sit inside it and check it out firsthand have made some bold claims, stating that it might just be one of the best cars ever made.

By nature, Rolls-Royce's vehicles have always been as quiet as a church despite boasting V12 firepower under the hood. The British brand has gone the extra mile to ensure its rides feature a lot of sound-deadening, especially between the cockpit and the internal combustion motor lying under the hood. Thus, having an EV in its lineup sounded (pun intended) like a great way to further bring the Spirit of Ecstasy into the modern era.

As a result, the automaker set off to work. They took the Architecture of Luxury from the Ghost, Phantom, and Cullinan and adapted it to work with an electric drivetrain. Then they put a two-door GT body on top of it, sprinkled the car with many luxury accouterments, and gave it a proper name that's worthy of the Rolls-Royce legacy.

The Spectre is not the most powerful EV out there. Far from it, but it is certainly the most luxurious. At a hard push of the throttle, it unleashes 567 horsepower (575 ps/430 kW) and 664 pound-foot (900 Nm) of torque. For something that weighs almost 6,600 pounds (almost three tons), measures 214.7 inches (5,453 mm) long, is 81.9 inches (2,080 mm) wide, and 61.4 inches (1,559 mm) tall, it is very agile, with 4.5s required to reach 60 mph (97 kph).

This comes as no surprise to anyone, regardless of how much they know about cars, but you need to be loaded to afford any brand-new Rolls-Royce (and some older ones), including the Spectre. The luxury grand tourer kicks off at around $400,000 in our market, and should you factor in the dealer fees and check a few boxes on the options list, then it will easily exceed the half-a-million-dollar mark. The one pictured above is even more expensive than that, and it is a bit more special than your run-of-the-mill Spectre.

According to the vendor, because this ride is for sale if you haven't figured it out, it boasts Novitec's signature. Eager to find out what the renowned tuner has in store for this model, we jumped on their website only to learn that the Spectre is listed as a "coming soon" product. Nothing that a side-by-side comparison with the stock one can't fix, right?

Wrong, because the front and rear bumpers, chin spoiler, side skirts, hood are identical. In fact, the only things that are different are the fresh hue on the hood and those disc-like alloys that have come from Vossen's portfolio. The SP3 wheels are available in 22 and 24 inches for the Spectre, kicking off at $11,500 for the entire set, which is definitely pocket change for anyone who can afford to buy this awesome car.

The vehicle in question has a black finish on the outside, contrasted only by the hood and the usual chrome appointments, and an orange pinstripe. The interior is also black, save for a few orange accents, including the stitching and piping and the Rolls-Royce logo on the headrests. From what we can tell, it is a very nicely-specified example, boasting pretty much everything one would ever need from a luxury GT, including that magnificent starlight headliner.

This Rolls-Royce Spectre is not a used car, despite being listed on the second-hand market, as it only has the delivery miles on the clock. Hollmann International has been tasked with finding it a new home, and in the online listing, which you can check out here, they reveal some of the standard and optional equipment fitted to this all-quiet grand tourer.

That's not everything the vendor reveals, as it also lists the asking price next to the pictures. So, how much do you think it costs? Unless you said €728,875, you are wrong. This comes out to almost $780,000 at the current exchange rates, which means that you could almost buy two brand-new Spectres for the cost of this one. But just look at it. Isn't it a fine piece of machinery?
