One of the first things you’ll probably notice is that the Spectre has a grille. Grilles aren’t necessary on EVs, but Rolls CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said the grille is “such a signifier of our brand that we said it's unthinkable not to have one.” So instead they designed it to push air around the car rather than sucking it through, so as to eliminate drag.

Another unique feature in the Spectre is the brake pedal, which does more than just stop the vehicle. All Rolls cars have a button inside that closes the doors, but this time they decided to put that button where your foot usually lands whenever you get in a car to drive. Tapping the brake pedal in the Spectre while the driver’s door is open will close it automatically.
