Rolls-Royce unveils Spectre Series II in Asia-Pacific for the first time... driving range up 18%

[Financial News] Rolls-Royce has unveiled in South Korea an all-electric super coupé with up to 18% greater range, marking its Asia-Pacific debut. The high-performance model delivers up to 500 kW of power and 1,100 Nm of torque. The strategy is to strengthen electrification technology and bespoke customization to target the ultra-luxury electric vehicle market.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said on the 9th that it had unveiled the Spectre Series II and Black Badge Spectre Series II on the 6th in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong District, Seoul. Julian Jenkins, Sales and Brand Director at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “South Korea is one of the key markets for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars,” adding, “The investment in Rolls-Royce Private Office Seoul and the outstanding creativity shown by customers across the Asia-Pacific region, including in South Korea, are clear evidence of that.”
The models unveiled are an evolution of the Spectre, the brand’s first all-electric vehicle. They retain the original design and quiet driving experience while improving the battery, powertrain and bespoke interior options.
The Spectre Series II features newly designed battery cells, extending its range on a single charge to up to 628 km under the European Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). That is up to 18% more than the previous model, while charging time has been cut by up to 14%. The certified range in South Korea is 461 km for the standard model and 450 km for the Black Badge. It is equipped with a 118.1 kWh battery, which takes about 28 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% using a fast charger.
The high-performance Black Badge Spectre Series II delivers 500 kW of power in “Infinity Mode,” 15 kW more than before. In “Spirited Mode,” maximum torque rises to 1,100 Nm. It is the most powerful model in Rolls-Royce history, accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. The standard model has a peak output of 442 kW and takes 4.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
Choi Won-geun, Bespoke Client Experience Manager at Rolls-Royce Private Office Seoul, recalled that the Spectre was first introduced in Asia in South Korea three years ago and explained, “We focused on how to develop the essence of the Spectre into an even more refined and richer experience.”
The body retains the existing fastback silhouette, while offering a wider choice of colors and materials. The Spectre Series II on display at the event featured a gradient two-tone exterior transitioning from Salamanca Blue to Black Diamond, along with 23-inch diamond-spoke wheels. Choi explained that the Crystal Clear Coat softly blends the boundary between the colors while maximizing their depth.
The interior adds Duality Twill, a bamboo-based fabric featuring up to 2.6 million stitches, and Placed Perforation, which creates patterns in the leather with tiny holes. The dashboard features an illuminated fascia made up of 8,108 lighting elements. A new clock design inspired by aircraft instrument panels was also unveiled. The Black Badge model is distinguished by matte-black exterior trim and exclusive wheels.
Choi emphasized “having great power without flaunting it, and maintaining quietness even during dynamic driving,” explaining that the model carries on Rolls-Royce’s distinctive electrified driving experience.
The Spectre Series II starts at 573 million won, while the Black Badge Spectre Series II starts at 672 million won. Orders can be placed at the showrooms in Cheongdam, Seoul, and Busan, as well as at the Pangyo lounge. Customer deliveries will begin in the fourth quarter of this year and take place in phases.
