He, during his speech, reiterated the fact that the brand was introducing this electrified vehicle to fulfill the vision that the founding fathers Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce had of creating the 'best motor car in the world.'

Car technology and innovation a part of Rolls-Royce legacy: 

The idea behind launching the first Rolls-Royce electric car was to be innovative and take the car revolution to the next level. He also says that the vision of the founder of the brand Sir Henry Royce who was fascinated by the concept of electrification needed to be taken/ forward. In fact, according to him, the first-ever venture undertaken by this British automobile manufacturer under the name 'FH Royce and Company' involved the creation of dynamos and electric crane motors.  

The prophecy of Charles Rolls and the Rolls-Royce connection: 

 However, Charles Rolls, one of the brand's founders, as per Torsten, predicted an electric future for the automobile industry. Furthermore, in April 1900, Rolls is supposed to have developed an early electric motor car prototype. He named it 'Columbia' while also declaring it fit for a drive. In addition, he explained that this electric car was perfectly noiseless and very clean for the environment. Moreover, he also admitted then that the usefulness of this electric vehicle would only amplify once fixed charging stations could be arranged.   

The fruition of the Rolls-Royce electric car prophecy:  

Finally, it has taken over 100 years for brand Rolls-Royce to fulfill its dream of producing the electric car in the market. While announcing its launch, Torsten said that this electrified automobile would be named 'Spectre.' He also added that the vehicle should be made official to the public by the fourth quarter of 2023. Above all, by 2030, Rolls-Royce intends to produce all cars that are 'Electrified.'
