Meet the new Spirit of Ecstasy
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new, more aerodynamic Spirit of Ecstasy – just in time for the launch of its equally slippery Spectre EV. At 82.71mm, the new mascot is slightly short than the 100.01mm original, and that’s thanks in part to a lower, more dynamic stance. This new positioning makes the newest Spirit of Ecstasy more in line with the original drawings of her creator Charles Sykes.
At this stage Rolls-Royce is saying nothing about the power output, tech spec or performance. It’s also not talking about what will be shared with the rest of the BMW Group, beyond stressing that it uses a version of the Rolls-exclusive aluminium spaceframe architecture that debuted with the Phantom in 2017 and has subsequently been used on the Cullinan and Ghost.
He praises Tesla for both its products and its foresight in setting up its own Supercharger network. ‘Infrastructure is not a problem for us,’ said Müller-Ötvös, ‘but the infrastructure for public charging needs to grow massively.’ Goodwood-era Rolls-Royce has been working on EVs for more than a decade. The 2011 102EX was a one-off electric Phantom, with a lithium-ion battery and twin electric motors driving the rear wheels. It was used as a rolling test bed and to gauge reaction. And that reaction was unequivocal: the range was too short, charging too slow and the three-year battery life a nuisance.
