Rolls-Royce is developing its first fully electric model, the luxury car maker has announced.
The firm expects the car, named Spectre, to be available by the final three months of 2023.
Chief executive, Torsten Muller-Otvos, said: “Today is a seminal moment, the most significant day in the history of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars since the company was founded in 1904.
Today we announce our first fully qelectric motor car and with it, our CEO, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, keeps his promise that “#RollsRoyce will go #electric, starting this decade”.
“This extraordinary new product will elevate the global all-electric car revolution.
“Range and charging time is important in getting this right, we were thinking about going electric for quite a while.
“We are creating the first and finest super-luxury product of its type.”
The company said Spectre will “undertake the most demanding testing programme in Rolls-Royce’s history”.
It will cover 1.6 million miles, which is equivalent to more than 400 years of typical use for a Rolls-Royce car.
