Rolls-Royce Unveils a $420K Electric Car You’ll Only See Once: Meet the Specter Semaphore

Rolls-Royce Specter Semaphore
Only one of its kind in the world
It took over 160 hours to produce

During Monterey Car Week, Rolls-Royce will reveal the Specter Semaphore, its first-ever electric vehicle. This event, renowned for its prestige on the California coast, will showcase the Specter Semaphore for the first time globally. 

Based on the large coupe model, the Specter, the Semaphore will be a one-of-a-kind vehicle. Its design has undergone a dramatic transformation to capture a youthful and vibrant coastal vibe, reflecting the dynamic spirit of the festival.

The unique silver wave pattern
Semaphore Yellow color are applied

The exterior of the Specter Semaphore features a striking Semaphore Yellow, inspired by the California coast. The bonnet is adorned with silver artwork miming flowing waves, creating a distinctive and sophisticated look. 

The silver lacquer, with its unique “Marbled Paint Spill” graphic, represents California’s diverse landscape, from sunlight to mountain ranges. Rolls-Royce applied multiple layers of silver lacquer and a clear coat to achieve this effect, giving the vehicle a radiant and refined finish.

The interior also features a yellow base, accented with white and gray for a stylish touch

The bonnet of the Specter Semaphore may appear to be a straightforward silver paint job, but it required over 160 hours of meticulous design, engineering, and execution. While the bonnet’s shape is similar to the standard Specter, the bright yellow hue contrasts strikingly with the chrome accents, giving it a unique and eye-catching appearance.

The cabin features a vibrant mix of lemon and citrine yellow, creating a fresh yet sophisticated ambiance. Bright yellow lines accentuate the seats, door panels, center console, and dashboard. The remaining surfaces are finished in Grace White and Slate Gray, with yellow stitching providing contrast and elegance.

The Specter maintains its powerful performance, generating a maximum output of 577 horsepower

The digital cluster features yellow graphics and dials that complement the car’s exterior color. Some areas are finished with cashmere gray wood trim, while silver mica accents add subtle gray highlights. Although the Specter Semaphore’s exterior design is striking and refined, the vehicle retains the same powerful motor as its predecessor.

The Specter is equipped with dual electric motors, generating a total output of 577 horsepower and a maximum torque of 900 Nm. Rolls-Royce hasn’t released pricing for the Specter Semaphore, but the Specter, on which it’s based, starts at $420,000 in the US.
