According to a report by Automotive News Europe , Rolls-Royce’s first electric car will be neither a saloon like the Phatom and Ghost , nor an SUV like the Cullinan, but a grand tourer available in coupe and convertible bodies . Therefore, within the Rolls-Royce range, the Silent Shadow will replace the current Wraith (coupe) and Dawn (convertible).
