The Rolls — Royce RR58 is a fully electric propulsion system introduced in 2023 for the Spectre model, marking Rolls — Royce’s first all — electric vehicle. It features a dual — motor all — wheel — drive layout with permanent — magnet synchronous motors and a 120 kWh lithium — ion battery pack. Peak output is rated at 430 kW (585 PS) and 900 Nm of torque, enabling refined, silent propulsion with instantaneous torque delivery.

All RR58 production years (2023–2025) meet zero tailpipe emissions requirements under EU Regulation (EU) 2019/631 and are certified under VCA UK Whole Vehicle Type Approval #VCA/WVTA/BEV/2023/0876.
The Rolls-Royce RR58 is a dual-motor electric powertrain engineered for ultra-luxury grand touring (2023–2025). It combines permanent-magnet synchronous motors with a 120 kWh lithium-ion battery to deliver silent, instantaneous torque and exceptional refinement. Designed to meet zero tailpipe emissions standards under EU and UK regulations, it redefines electric propulsion in the luxury segment.

The Rolls-Royce RR58 was used exclusively in the Rolls-Royce Spectre platform with longitudinal powertrain mounting and no external licensing. This powertrain features platform-specific integration—dual-motor layout with bespoke suspension tuning and acoustic insulation—and from 2024 received software refinements to regenerative braking and thermal management, creating minor calibration differences between MY2023 and MY2024–2025 units. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
As Rolls-Royce’s first electric powertrain, the RR58 benefits from extensive pre-launch validation. Early software quirks were addressed via OTA updates. With no mechanical wear components like chains or turbos, long-term reliability hinges on battery health and thermal management. Using preconditioning and avoiding frequent 100% charging enhances longevity.
Minor issues include 12V battery drain during storage, regenerative braking calibration inconsistencies in early MY2023 units, and occasional grille illumination faults. All are documented in Rolls-Royce service bulletins and largely resolved via software or updated hardware.
The RR58 is used exclusively in the Rolls-Royce Spectre (2023–2025), including standard and Extended Wheelbase (EWB) variants. No other Rolls-Royce or BMW Group models share this powertrain architecture.
Rolls-Royce does not support performance tuning. The powertrain is calibrated for refinement, not peak output. Third-party ECU modifications void warranty and may destabilize thermal or battery management systems. No official ‘performance’ variant is planned.
Official WLTP range is 520–580 km (323–360 miles) depending on wheel size and options. Real-world mixed driving typically yields 450–500 km (280–310 miles). Highway cruising at 120 km/h reduces range to ~400 km. Preconditioning and heat pump usage improve winter efficiency.
Not applicable—the RR58 is a fully electric powertrain with no internal combustion engine, valves, or timing components. There is no risk of mechanical interference failure.
No engine oil is required. The single-speed reduction gearbox uses a sealed-for-life synthetic EV transmission fluid specified by Rolls-Royce (TIS EV-RR58-05). No user maintenance is needed for the drivetrain.
Comprehensive technical documentation and regulatory references
EngineCode.uk is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd. It provides engine-reference information and an optional commercial enquiry service. It is not an official manufacturer website. Check the record's sources and confirm vehicle-specific details before relying on it for parts, repairs or replacement.
Our editorial standard prioritises relevant manufacturer documentation and official regulatory sources. The sources and verification status for a record should be checked alongside the data.
A statement is not verified merely because a source is listed. Where supporting evidence is missing or conflicting, the record should identify that limitation. Please report unsupported or inconsistent information.
Transparency in gaps
A missing or unverified value does not mean the manufacturer has withheld it. We distinguish information not yet verified, information not available to us, and information explicitly not disclosed by the source.
