[Original by Dongchedi Product] Recently, we learned from relevant channels that the first pure electric car of the Rolls-Royce brand - Shining will be officially released on October 18, Beijing time. We have previously reported that the car was undergoing comprehensive tests in Germany and France. It is reported that the Rolls-Royce Shining will be officially launched in 2023.

Rolls-Royce Shining will be delivered in the fourth quarter of next year
Shining has completed most of the vehicle testing work
2011, Rolls-Royce exhibited a pure electric Phantom test vehicle called 102EX, and the Rolls-Royce 103EX test vehicle was unveiled closely. These two "test cars" have long shown Rolls-Royce's firm vision of embracing the future of electrification.
new car features
In September 2021, the first pure electric car of the Rolls-Royce brand - Shining, started road testing. To ensure the Shining's authentic Rolls-Royce lineage, the car will undergo the most stringent vehicle tests ever made by the Rolls-Royce brand, with a total test mileage of 2.5 million kilometers, equivalent to the total mileage of a Rolls-Royce car for more than 400 years.
Shining performs performance tests at the Nürburgring North Ring trajectory
As an important part of the Shining's global test totaling 2.5 million kilometers, its French phase test is divided into two parts: the first part will be conducted at the Miramas test field in France, which has more than 60 kilometers of closed routes and 20 test tracks. The test pavement includes irrigation channels with accumulated water, curved sections with harsh conditions and a 3.1-mile sloped three-lane highway, where the Shining can conduct continuous high-speed driving.
New car has a total of 141,200 sets of transceiver devices
Part 2 testing will be held near the Miramas test site in the suburbs of Provence. The region is favored by Rolls-Royce customers, so about 55% of the testing work during this phase is completed here, and the first Shining delivery customers will also drive in this kind of road conditions in the fourth quarter of 2023. Rolls-Royce has been tested many times under local real conditions in key global markets, aiming to ensure that the products meet customer expectations.
The new car is equipped with a full LCD instrument
The Shining is different from any previous Rolls-Royce model, not only because of its pure electric power system, but also because of the computing power and data processing technology that the Shining has. The Shining is the most technologically interconnected Rolls-Royce model in history. Each component is smarter than previous Rolls-Royce models. It has a total of 141,200 sets of transceiver devices, more than 1,000 functions and more than 25,000 sub-functions, which is about three times that of Rolls-Royce's previous models. During the Riviera test, Rolls-Royce engineers were creating dedicated controls for each of the Shining’s more than 25,000 features to ensure that it can respond differently to factors such as weather, driver behavior, vehicle status and road conditions.

Based on the latest hardware components and high-speed processing capabilities, the Shining's sophisticated electronic roll stability system can use the Rolls-Royce "Flagbearer" auxiliary system data to read the road conditions ahead and satellite navigation system , reminding vehicles to pay attention to turning ahead when driving. When driving in a straight line, the system can automatically decouple the anti-roll bar of the in Shining, allowing each wheel to run independently, avoiding bumps on one side of the vehicle due to the ups and downs of the road surface. This also significantly reduces high-frequency vibrations caused by smaller and more frequent road quality defects during driving.
When the satellite navigation data and the "flag bearer" system confirm that the forward turns are about to turn, the components will be reconnected, the suspension shock absorber becomes hard, and the four-wheel steering system is ready to start to ensure the vehicle is easily controlled. When turning, the system will monitor at least 18 sensors and adjust the steering, braking, power transmission and suspension parameters accordingly to keep the Shining stable at all times.
According to foreign media reports, the launch of the Rolls-Royce Shining will lay the foundation for the full electrification of the Rolls-Royce model lineup by 2030. By then, Rolls-Royce will no longer be committed to the production and sales of internal combustion engine models.
power information
At present, the official has not announced the power information of the new car, but the dual-motor power system equipped with the BMW iX M60 with a maximum power of over 600 horsepower may become an alternative for the new car. This power system drives a 2.5-ton SUV to accelerate 0-96 km/h in just 4.0 seconds, and this power performance can replace the V12 engine well.
brief review
In the era of full electrification, even top luxury brands like Rolls-Royce cannot be "out of the matter". The pure electric drive form gives vehicle design greater room for development, and its power performance is not weakened at all compared to internal combustion engines. At the same time, the new electronic and electrical architecture will also give the new car a smarter "brain". What do you expect from a pure electric Rolls-Royce? Welcome to leave a message for communication. For more information about the new car, please continue to pay attention to the report of Dongchedi.
