New Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II: Ferrari Luce rival is more elegant than ever

The Spectre Series II arriving with a Black Badge variant pushing 671bhp tells you something about where Rolls-Royce sees the competitive pressure coming from — not traditional luxury sedans, but performance-oriented GT cars like the Ferrari Luce. That the headline frames it as a rival at all is notable; Rolls-Royce has historically positioned itself above competition rather than within it. The torque figure of 1,100Nm is the kind of number that reframes what an electric Rolls-Royce is capable of, moving the conversation from quiet refinement toward genuine performance credentials. Whether buyers care about the spec sheet or simply the visual refinement the 'Series II' tag implies is the real question this update raises.
