Vehicle model
Rolls-Royce Spectre
The Spectre is the first 100% electric automobile in Rolls-Royce history, unveiled in 2022. This ultra-luxurious grand coupe ushers in the brand's transition toward a fully electric lineup targeted for the end of 2030. Designed from the outset as an electric vehicle, it sacrifices none of the space, comfort, or quietness inherent to Rolls-Royce; the brand even invokes a prophecy by co-founder Charles Rolls, who as early as 1900 foresaw an electric future for the automobile. It is aimed at high-end customers drawn to silent refinement and a modern powertrain. In Quebec, electric range can decrease in extreme cold; as with the entire lineup, its large low-profile-tire wheels call for properly sized certified winter tires for the cold season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Rolls-Royce modernes roulent sur de grandes jantes, typiquement de 21 à 23 pouces, voire 24 pouces sur le Cullinan, avec des pneus à profil bas et indice de vitesse élevé, souvent à montage spécifique avant/arrière (par exemple des sections de 255 à l'avant et 285 à 295 à l'arrière selon le diamètre). L'entraxe est généralement 5x120, hérité de la base BMW. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires en saison froide : il est courant de prévoir un second train, parfois sur jantes de diamètre légèrement réduit, pour préserver le confort et trouver des dimensions hivernales adaptées. Confirmez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse, et homologation au modèle et à l'année.
