Just like many other automakers, even Rolls-Royce has adapted to the novel EV lifestyle and includes a zero-emissions model in its lineup. Dubbed Spectre, it's a grand tourer following in the ICE-powered V12 footsteps of the beloved Wraith.
Some people might easily mistake the Spectre for a heavily updated version of the full-size ultra-luxury grand tourer that shares its name with a 1938 model. Alas, it was based on the same underpinnings as the Ghost sedan and was produced for a decade, between 2013 and 2023. However, that's a grave mistake.

While the popular Wraith and the new Spectre have the same allure of a two-door hardtop coupe, both have coach doors and a similar relationship with the BMW 7 Series; the former was always motivated by an elegant yet gas-guzzling 6.5-liter twin-turbo V12 while the latter has a couple of BMW eDrive electric motors and 'just' 577 hp instead of 623 ponies like the Wraith and Wraith Black Badge.

Additionally, the Spectre has more in common with the Cullinan and Phantom because it shares the Architecture of Luxury platform, and it's also Rolls-Royce's first-ever electric vehicle. It has an EPA range of 260 miles (420 km), it's the most aerodynamic Rolls ever made and has already become a darling of the American aftermarket world. Speaking of modifications, the Spectre is also a casual occurrence across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, if you didn't know.

Since we're in a festive mood and Santa's aids are usually dressed in joyous shades of crimson and green, here's a sled that could be their daily driver – if ever real, or if the elves are real, too. Czech Republic-based virtual artist Rostislav Prokop, known as rostislav_prokop on social media, continues his thunderous dream periplus with a unique Spectre and after ICE-swapping a Tesla Cybertruck into a 6x6 monster, now it's time for another EV-to-ICE design project.

This time, he chose the Rolls-Royce Spectre, slammed it into the ground like there's no tomorrow, fitted a widebody aerodynamic kit that would make both Pandem and Rocket Bunny overjoyed, and also slapped a nice set of chrome-and-green big-lipped aftermarket wheels. That's, of course, in a bid to match the treatment bestowed upon the body – where the elfish green mixes with lots and lots of chrome details. But that's not all for this beautifully slammed widebody land yacht.

Instead, the "green metallic enriched with a radiant pigment, which gives the car uniqueness," Is only part of the CGI story – the pixel master fitted Rotiforms and big tires because it would need them. As such, under the cut-out hood now resides an internal combustion engine (presumably of the V12 variety) that's too big to hold in the engine bay, especially because it's also fitted with a couple of big and nasty turbochargers! Cool or not?
