I spent a day with Rolls-Royce's newest car and saw why it's worth every penny of its $420,000 price tag
I recently tested costs $420,000 and up, people can't help but burst out laughing in disbelief.
And I can't blame them. It's mind-boggling that a car — with four wheels, a steering wheel, some seats — can cost about as much as the median US home. But the Rolls-Royce Spectre, the British brand's first electric vehicle, is a very special car. So it almost makes sense. The Spectre is magnificent to look at and drives smoother than just about anything, but here we're zeroing in on its absurdly elegant and comfy interior. Let me show you around.
Rolls-Royce invited me and other journalists out to California to be some of the first to drive the Spectre.Disclosure: Rolls-Royce got me a discounted stay in a nice hotel and kept me fed while I tested the car. I'm not some oil tycoon nor did I time the Bitcoin market right, so this was my first time ever driving a Rolls-Royce or spending substantial time in one.I have driven a lot of other electric cars, though, including some fancy ones from brands like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Audi.I didn't think the Rolls would be all that much different. That was a mistake.
