Rolls-Royce Flash is positioned as an “ultra-luxury electric super coupé” with a two-door, four-seat GT styling. The exterior follows the family design language of the fuel-fired model, with a front fascia consisting of the iconic Parthenon grille + split headlights on both sides, and a sporty coupé body structure.
Based on an all-aluminum “luxury architecture”, the Rolls-Royce Flash is powered by a 120kWh battery pack and is expected to have a combined CLTC range of 585km, support 195kW charging power and accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds.

Rolls-Royce Flash will have a comfortable and highly optimized driving experience with a range of features that Rolls-Royce calls Planar Suspension, which the company calls a “magic carpet ride” that uses the vehicle’s mass to dampen small, high-frequency vibrations on the road. The vehicle monitors 18 sensors during cornering and four tires can operate independently to prevent bumps.
