EVs do need cooling. The Taycan coolers are in a very vulnerable to damage loction, unfortunately, as the nose is styled a bit of a signature Porsche shape.It appears that the same wankers who designed the Jaguar iPace had a hand (no pun intended) in designing the Spectre. One day perhaps they will come to understand that EVs do not need radiators and oversized grills to cool the motors. For sure I would take the Taycan, sans grill, everyday over the roller.
Of course the EV grills are nothing more than vestigial design signatures. Like most industrial designs, form follows function, and folks likes RR historically did an admirable job of marrying the necessary function, i.e. cooling the internal combustion engine, with the form of the car. Without the underlying function to worry about, a large grill on the front of an EV makes about as much sense as a propeller-esque design signature on a modern jet. But, I will freely admit that I know next to nothing about the sale and marketing of RR's, and perhaps the iconic grill glued to the front of their EVs will enable them to command a large premium over competing products such as the MB EQS.EVs do need cooling.

Most of the grilles are "decorative" faux manufacturer's signature design features, not principally for cooling. It isn't just RR and Jaguar, notably BMW but also Audi and Mercedes, and I'm sure others too.
New manufacturers with no historic design features are free of course

I thought the same thing. Like the Taycan, 911 radiator placement is weak too, like a glass chin. Non-Porsches during races can take out 911s by brake checking. Too risky in 911 to do that given engine placement.EVs do need cooling.

It has luxurious gold plated batteries, haha... RR name alone is worth 200k and the rest is the car.What makes this a $400k car? Electric propulsion evens the playing field with any vehicle
I was having a debate about cadillac celestiq and how it won't sell because exclusivity is in the brand, not the model.It has luxurious gold plated batteries, haha... RR name alone is worth 200k and the rest is the car.
I was expecting a new interior and a different shape, this is an electric Wraith.
Now that autumn has arrived in earnest here in Ireland, I've noticed that the cooling intakes/radiators are sucking up leaves like a vacuum cleaner.EVs do need cooling.

BMW technology, R&D, management. RR is the brand marketing, as time goes the RR design trickles down to BMW.Flat and larger grill (than onbmw) is easier to use …on barbeque.
Just imagine a group on a picnic…all would be served at once
