Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has a deep understanding of the super-luxury consumer, allowing them to create products that resonate with their unique preferences and lifestyle. One such example is the Black Badge series, born out of a desire to cater to rebellious individuals who challenge conventions and seek a bolder, more assertive luxury experience. The latest addition to this lineup is the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge, representing the pinnacle of post-opulent design and engineering.
Exterior
The Black Badge Ghost‘s exterior is characterized by its intense black color, achieved through an intricate and exclusive painting process. Each car receives two layers of clear coat, meticulously hand-polished to achieve a high-gloss piano finish. To enhance the black and neon aesthetic, clients can opt for a contrasting hand-painted Coachline. Notably, Rolls-Royce‘s iconic Spirit of Ecstasy and Pantheon Grille receive a unique treatment, involving a precise chrome electrolyte process that darkens the finish to create a mirror-black chrome effect. Completing the exterior are bespoke 21-inch composite wheels, featuring a carbon fiber construction with a distinctive folded design and a floating hubcap.
Interior
Inside the Black Badge Ghost, advanced luxury materials and meticulous craftsmanship create a unique ambiance. The interior design follows the post-opulent philosophy, embracing minimalism and substance. A complex weave of carbon and metallic fibers forms a deep diamond pattern, reflecting the car’s mechanical intent. Multiple layers of wood, including black Bolivar veneer and Technical Fibre, are carefully pressed and hand-applied to create a three-dimensional effect. The Technical Fibre ‘Waterfall’ section of the individual rear seats features the Black Badge family motif, rendered in aerospace-grade aluminum. Brightwork elements are subdued, and the clock design is minimalistic, with only select details picked out in a subdued chrome finish. A world-first innovation, the Illuminated Fascia, showcases an ethereal glowing Lemniscate motif surrounded by stars, complementing the Black Badge Ghost’s noir ambiance.
Engineering
Underneath its sleek exterior, the Black Badge Ghost boasts Rolls-Royce’s Architecture of Luxury, an all-aluminum spaceframe that provides exceptional stiffness and enables advanced features such as all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. The twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine has been optimized to deliver a total output of 600PS and 900NM of torque, providing exhilarating performance. A bespoke transmission and throttle treatment enhance the powertrain’s responsiveness. The Black Badge Ghost also features a dedicated ‘Low’ mode that unlocks the car’s full potential, including an amplified exhaust note and increased gearshift speeds. Braking performance has been enhanced, and a new range of high-temperature brake caliper paint colors is available for customization.
