While attending one of her friend's weddings, Bloody Mary ripped off the bride's brand new sports car and escaped unnoticed. It's Special Attack is a screaming fiery missile that locks-on to it's target. Once target lock-on is achieved (signified by the Opponent's Indicator Icon changing to red), press the Fire Weapon button [default: L2] to send the missile flying. It will burrow underground and through walls to relentlessly reach its target. Listen for the Special Attack's signature scream. If you hear it, watch the Radar for a red "+" target lock-on symbol. If it starts to move towards the center of the Radar, run for cover because you're it's target.

Trivia

  • A Spectre (Or "specter", its American spelling) is another name for a ghost.
  • Spectre is mostly driven by greedy and attention seeking people.
  • Scott Campbell and Spectre are the only Spectre drivers to not have a greedy personality.
  • Between TM(1995) and TM2, Spectre is a white 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the exception of blue stripes and removed tailfins in TM2.
  • In TMIII, Spectre is the fastest vehicle in the game.
  • Although Spectre is not featured in TM4 and TM(2012), two similar cars replace it. In TM4, Orbital replaces it in speed and similarity, Pizza Boy takes Spectre's TMIII design (Save for having one stripe as opposed to two) and a Special Weapon featuring homing capabilities. In TM(2012), it's replaced by Kamikaze.
  • In TM4, it is possible to create a version of Spectre using Create Car mode. It looks identical to it's appearance in TM2 but as a black stripe instead of a blue one and is gray instead of white.
  • Spectre is the only vehicle besides Hammerhead to be driven by different drivers in all of its appearances.
  • According to David Jaffe, a model for Spectre has been created for TM(2012). It suggests that Spectre was supposed to make it into the game, but it was later scrapped, possibly in favor of Kamikaze. Spectre never appeared in the game as David Jaffe announced that there will be no DLC for the game.
  • In the PS2 version of TMH-O, Spectre is a spoiler-removed sports car. However, in the PSP version of the game, as well as Spectre's ending cutscene, the spoiler is there.
  • Spectre, Grasshopper, and Mr. Slam are the only vehicles that have been piloted by ghosts.
  • Spectre is one of the only recurring vehicles to have the same special in all its appearances, along with Grasshopper and Twister.
  • Spectre was scheduled to be in Twisted Metal: Harbor City, though its special weapon--the Ghost Missile--was given a different sound when launched. While the special was highlighted, the car would give a bright blue glow.
