Rolls-Royce Electric Car Unveiled
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new luxury electric model, introducing a limited two-seater convertible called Project Nightingale. The Rolls-Royce electric car will be produced in a strictly limited run of 100 units.
The company confirmed that production will take place at its Goodwood headquarters in the UK. Deliveries of the Rolls-Royce electric car are expected to begin in 2028.
Limited Production and Hand-Built Design
Rolls-Royce said it will hand-build all 100 vehicles. The model targets high-end clients seeking exclusivity and bespoke craftsmanship.
The Rolls-Royce electric car reflects the brand’s focus on luxury and customization. Each unit will feature unique design elements tailored to buyers.
Company executives described the project as one of the most ambitious designs in its history.
Design Inspired by Classic Era
Project Nightingale draws inspiration from Rolls-Royce’s experimental EX models from the 1920s. Designers also incorporated elements from the Art Deco period.
The car will measure around 5.76 metres in length, similar to the Phantom saloon. It will feature a long bonnet and a distinctive “torpedo-shaped” design.
This approach blends classic styling with modern electric technology, creating a unique visual identity.
Electric Performance and Silent Driving
The Rolls-Royce electric car will run on a fully electric powertrain. The company said the vehicle will deliver near-silent performance due to the absence of a traditional engine.
Executives highlighted that the model combines power with a smooth and quiet driving experience. This aligns with Rolls-Royce’s focus on comfort and refinement.
Strategy Shift on Electric Future
The launch comes shortly after Rolls-Royce adjusted its long-term strategy. The company recently announced it will continue offering petrol models beyond 2030.
Previously, Rolls-Royce had planned to move entirely to electric vehicles by that date. However, it has now adopted a more flexible approach to meet customer demand.
Pricing and Market Position
Rolls-Royce did not reveal the official price of Project Nightingale. However, it confirmed the model will sit between its Private Commission and Coachbuild ranges.
These bespoke categories can cost from over £500,000 to more than £20 million. This suggests the Rolls-Royce electric car will target ultra-luxury buyers.
