The legendary British gentleman switches to flashlights. The first electric Rolls-Royce will be called the Specter

Rolls-Royce never hid his preference for the electric future, but as is customary with these English gentlemen, precision takes time. That is why his very first electric model, called the Specter, will not be available until 2023. British legend will unleash a wave of electrification with this model, thanks to which it will offer its entire model line with electric drive by the end of the decade. , The Wraith and now the Specter – Rolls-Royce couldn’t be more mysterious in the nomenclature of their models. “As this is the beginning of a new legacy for our brand, we have decided to choose a completely new name for this car, which is as suggestive as the Phantom, Ghost and Wraith designations. The new name Specter fits perfectly into the extraterrestrial and indulgent environment in which our cars operate, “ said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Rolls-Royce Director.

However, Rolls -Royce paves the way for maximum transparency. On the electric concept 102EX, which he presented already in 2011, he clearly showed that he counts on electricity, which was later reminded by the considerably futuristic concept 103EX . )

A torch called Specter

But there were enough concepts. Now the British legend of the car industry has introduced, ie rather revealed the real torch with which to ignite the flame of pure electromobility. This will be the case with the Specter, which so far has only shown its silhouette with a cleverly camouflaged series of slogans that shout out the car’s progress to the world. The Specter will be a two-seater coupe that brings a slightly more aggressive look.

The car should become a modular aluminum platform, which is also used by the Phantom, Cullinan or Ghost models. It is not yet clear which propulsion system will drive Specter forward, as reported magazine Car and Driver , Rolls-Royce’s director has previously said that the electric car will offer at least the same driving characteristics as the brand’s current conventional twelve-cylinder models.

As we saw for ourselves during the summer testing of the Ghost model , the performance of these cars is calm and extremely comfortable, but if you let go of the bridle a bit, they will be happy to show you their dynamic potential. After all, Ghost can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.3 seconds. Let’s take this number as a basis that the new Specter can only improve.

Rolls-Royce can also be expected to depend on the car’s range. But everything must first be honed to maximum perfection, which is two years and 2.5 million kilometers.

“We have prepared the most demanding testing program in the history of Rolls-Royce. The car covers 2.5 million kilometers, which corresponds to more than 400 years of typical Rolls-Royce use. As part of the test drives, we will go to all corners of the world to test this new vehicle on the very edge of its possibilities, “ said Müller-Ötvös.

It all started in 1900

Rolls-Royce also recalls that the electrified history of the brand began to be written at the beginning of the last century. Although the Specter is the carmaker’s first electrified car, Charles Rolls already had a very strong belief in electricity. Even so powerful that in 1900 he bought an electric carriage, on which he praised the quiet operation, the quiet engine and the fact that such a machine does not smell at all.

Rolls then stated that machines powered by such technology would be very operational. However, he himself had no idea at the time that it would have to take more than a hundred years before it actually happened.

“This is the most important date in the history of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars from May 4, 1904. On that day, our founding fathers Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce met for the first time and agreed to create the best car in the world, ” Müller-Ötvös said on September 29. 2021, the day Rolls-Royce began writing a new electrical history.

Reasons to choose Pro for this year's iPhone: iPhone 13/13 mini review

バッテリーは高評価、でもそれくらい、と。今年もまた悩ましい季節がやってきました。iPhoneにProができてからというもの、Proでベスト中のベストを手に入れるか、Proじゃないほうで足るを知るか、っていう迷いポイントが加わりましたよね。でも、今回iPhone 13/13 miniをレビューした米GizmodoのCaitlin McGarry記者は、iPhone 13を買うくらいならiPhone 13 Proに! またはiPhone 14を待って!と言ってます。その理由は以下、レビューでご確認ください。去年のiPhone 12はiPhone 11からの有意義なアップグレードで、799ドル(日本国内価格8万6800円)〜という価格以上のプレミアム感がありました。iPhone 12 miniに関しては、自分みたいに手の小さい人にはベストなサイズとは思いつつ、(特に5Gを使うと)バッテリーライフが短すぎて、そこまで心が動かなかったんですけどね。で、今年のiPhone 13のラインナップは、まずiPhone 13 miniのバッテリーライフが大幅増強されたのは良かったんですが、iPhone 13 Proがフラッグシップのハードルを上げちゃって、ProじゃないiPhone 13は大して進化してないように見えます。たしかにバッテリーは、iPhone 11以前はもちろんiPhone 12と比べても増強されたんですが、それがなければ今回はパスしたほうがいいと思います。ただバッテリーは、これだけでも買い替え理由になるくらい長くなってます。Apple iPhone 13/13 miniImage: Caitlin McGarry – Gizmodo USこれは何?:Apple(アップル)のお求めやすいほうのフラッグシップiPhone価格:iPhone 13が799ドル(9万8800円)〜、iPhone 13 miniが699ドル(8万6800円)〜好きなところ:増強されたバッテリーライフ、暗い環境での写真がちょっと改善、超高速プロセッサー、2倍になったベースのストレージ好きじゃないところ:超広角レンズはもういいかなって感じバッテリーが本気のアップグレードなんといってもProじゃないほうのiPhone 13最大のポイントは、みんなにとって不可欠なバッテリーライフの向上です。去年のiPhone 12でも動画再生テストで14時間20分と十分な長さでしたが、iPhone 12 miniは11時間20分しか持たず、実際使っていても夕方充電が必要になることがときどきありました。スマホにとって丸1日持たないのは重罪なので、アップルはかなり悔い改めたんでしょうね。iPhone 13/13 miniはそれぞれバッテリーが増えて、iPhone 13は17時間近い驚異の長さ、iPhone 13 miniも13時間42分と去年より2時間半近く伸ばしてきました。この2時間半の違いのおかげで、充電ケーブルとか外付けバッテリーを持ち歩くという、小さいスマホ特有の罰ゲーム感がなくなりました。ちなみにiPhone 13 ProのバッテリーはiPhone 13と同等ですが、iPhone 13 Pro Maxは圧倒的な19時間30分持ち、フル充電1回で2日半持ったという逸話もあります。ただサイズが大きすぎるので、みんなに勧められるってものじゃないですね。で、やっぱりカメラの話iPhone 13(右)とiPhone 13 mini(左)はデュアルレンズ、今回は斜めに並んでますImage: Caitlin McGarry – Gizmodo USiPhone…
