More than 300 U.S. buyers have already made deposits for Rolls-Royce Holdings plc's RYCEY debut electric vehicle before its unveiling on October 18.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos told CNBC that the buyers visited the company's headquarters in Goodwood, England, over the past two weeks to get a sneak peek at the Spectre, which had a starting price tag of $413,000.
"Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls Royce has ever produced," Muller-Otvos said.

Spectre is touted as an "Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé."
The company plans to deliver the first customer cars in the fourth quarter of 2023.
