Two door coupe. Purple & white interior? Guess it goes with it being an ev.
Not a fan of the taillights, but I absolutely love the body lines of this fastback.

Stunning design, exterior and interior. Price starts at $420K before customization. Which isn't surprising. We're going to be seeing a big increase of EV reviews going forward.
KarTRASHIANs rejoice
It's named after a James Bond villain.
man they missed it by a mile! way too little ev power in this day and age...the caddy ev is much less money and probably as fast.
considering how cheap the taycan turbo s is now I can't imagine there being a very big market on these for that kinda money. be a nice winter daily for me though once they go down to 75k in a few years lololololol

Does one single RR owner give a shit about power? I somehow doubt it. 100% of them are buying them because of the name.. they don't care what some poor broke dude is doing 0-60 is his Taycan
why no n/a V6 powered RRs then?
Can't believe I need to explain this but.. because that associates with cheap
So like $35k used in 5 years?
I just fail to agree that they don't care about power. Nothing cheap about a V12, anywhere, but they still added twin turbos to it. Why? because nobody cared about more power? LOL.
They like seeing "V12" and "twin turbos". It's all marketing, owners don't want something slower than a Civic but who TF buys a RR for performance or to win races. Literally 0
And now the faggy EV crowd will have their flagship car.

There are a few tuned RR out there. My buddy recently Tuned a Wraith. Go on YT and search.
That said, the point of RR is opulence and excess. It's not a car that you say "well a 700hp TT V12 is needlessly complicated and I can make way more power for less on a SC LSA engine or a Hellcat Charger!"
A V16 would sell very well in one of these.
As for the EV. Unfortunately that is both the zeitgeist of our time and political climate.
None of these manufacturers want to get caught unprepared when the Governments outright ban ICE sales.
I don't doubt that people tune them, but does he give even the slightest crap about a faster car? I'm guessing no.
I totally understand why they went EV. They had to, like everyone else.
I know several RR owners and they care about power big time...they start there sentences off by saying stuff like "makes over 600hp" etc. These people can afford what they want and power HAS to come with any elite luxury brand. My bentayga was a w12 and ran mid 11's. If they didn't care about power they would have put the 6 banger from the vw atlas in it.
and poor people are not driving the taycan, a loaded a taycan turbo s is 250g.
Do you reeeeally know several that do that though?
I would love to have a Phantom, Dawn, or even a Cullinan for our Florida home, after the massive deprecation (NOT an EV however). Have a Maybach 57 down there (bought stupid CHEAP a year ago), and in my middle age I'm starting to understand the "cruise" vs go fast, especially going from stop light to stoplight on the uninspiring, traffic filled roads of SW Florida. Heck, most of the exit ramps don't even have decent curves....
not saying they want to win races but when they hand the keys over to the valet they like to use terms like "i put the car into valet mode haha"
yes, just had dinner with 3 of them a few nights ago...one has a phantom. they were making fun of me for selling the bentayga for the Braptor. lololol
Haha well I'd trade a Bentayagagaya for a Braptor too.
I'd love a RR but I'd be sitting in the back with my hoe while someone drives us around
I'm guessing there is exactly one RR owner on this thread.
The Spectre's calling card is that it's silent. Like, amazingly whisper quiet, and ultra relaxing to drive. It's not especially fast, and it probably wouldn't appeal to many of you. But for what it is good at, it is very very good.
