Rolls-Royce: It's green at Goodwood 🎥
HIGHLIGHT Rolls-Royce continues the 2.5-million-kilometer test program for the all-electric Spectre. On 625,000 test kilometers in southern France, the intelligent chassis system also had to prove its worth.
The latest body developments make Spectre the stiffest Rolls-Royce ever. And the drag coefficient of cW 0.25 also makes the car a remarkably agile large saloon.
And: the test duration of 2.5 million kilometers simulates what can be represented as an average of more than 400 years of service life for a Rolls-Royce.
Realistic tests on historic track
The test program also includes a part at the historic Autodrome de Miramas proving ground. A race track on which a Grand Prix was held in 1926.
Today it is a modern test and development center with more than 60 kilometers of road and a three-lane, five-kilometer high-speed oval. A second test phase in the region is taking place in the countryside around Miramas and on the Côte d'Azur.
Platform exclusively for Rolls-Royce
The increased intelligence of the electronic components enables the Spectre to exchange information directly and even more actively. The response time is now significantly faster and the processes are more detailed.
However, the development of the Spectre is not only a feat of computer science. In the course of testing, the brand's engineers also develop a more direct implementation.
The new platform is reserved exclusively for Rolls-Royce. It enabled the designers not only to create a new class at Rolls-Royce with the electric supercoupé, but also to implement the stiffest body in the brand's history with the Spectre.
