The Spectre isn’t the Most Innovative EV but it is the Rolls Royce of Electric Cars

What you see here is Rolls Royce’s newest driver-focussed coupé. It’s called the Spectre and, even if it’s a four-seat fastback with a long bonnet and two rear-hinged doors, it is not actually a direct replacement for the discontinued Wraith. (The Spectre’s 420,000 USD price tag a…

The DB12 is the First Aston Martin in Ages That’s More than a Just Pretty Face
