Rolls-Royce has introduced Spectre Series II and Black Badge Spectre Series II, announcing the changes in June 2026. The update develops the electric coupé with more power, extended range and an expanded selection of bespoke finishes, rather than replacing the underlying idea of an electric grand tourer.
The arrival of two Series II versions is important when reading reviews or specifications of the earlier car. Standard Spectre, Black Badge and their newer Series II equivalents should not be treated as interchangeable descriptions. A performance or range figure needs to be attached to the correct model.
What it means for buyers
Personalisation is central to the announcement, but it also makes a simple price comparison less useful. The configuration of an individual car can change its cost and character considerably. Buyers considering an existing car alongside a newly commissioned one will need to compare the actual equipment and finish.
The interesting question remains how convincingly electric power serves quiet, unhurried travel. Greater output is a headline; refinement, seat comfort and the way controls work are what owners experience repeatedly. This report concerns the manufacturer's update and does not claim a first-hand drive or an independent assessment of the new range.
