We were given a very rare and unique invitation during the prestigious rodeo Concours d’Elegance D’Elegance D’Elegance event in Beverly Hills on June 15. Rolls-Royce To test its brand new black badge ghost model and experience something we think we’ve never seen before: Rolls-Royce launch controls with “sport mode” and even Wilder.
Before entering the new mode, we want to address the favorite element of any Rolls-Royce vehicle: its design’s presence. this ghost It has been around since 2022 and has attracted audiences over the past three years not only for its long dominance of the body, extended hood and rear hatch, but also for its sleek approach to ultra-luxury vehicles. What we’ve collected is that ghosts will attract younger, sporty car enthusiasts, fewer than luxury seekers, drivers who like to open doors for them. The black badge version has not changed much.
For the black badge model, a high level of customization and expression is expected, and our borrowers also feature a vivid Salamanca blue with Mandarin orange interior. The color combination doesn’t seem that far away for the high-end branded sports cars you’d expect, but it’s not common for Rolls-Royce – hence the name of the black badge. The interior features key features of customization and customization, such as the interior trim in the headrest, navy blue “RR” characters surround contrasting pipes and stitching, thicker blue steering wheel, polished stainless steel touch points, and more. The most amazing (total of nearly $33,000) is the “Shooting Star” lighting headlines and matching starlight gates, the latter being the first choice for RR vehicles. Leave it to companies like Rolls-Royce to give you a better night experience than you actually have.
So, back to new driving modes and features, how does the Black Badge Ghost cost with its sports car certificate? The car’s infinite mode is essentially what you think is “sport mode” or “dynamic” mode, a drive option that unlocks the full potential of the engine. In this case, Infinity mode gives the driver all 659 horsepower, 82 horsepower higher than the standard ghost. Thanks to its all-electric platform, the black badge only needs to run on standard ghost power levels when outside Infinity mode. Pressing the new Infinity button on the steering wheel doesn’t necessarily “mov” the car’s feeling, but there are key signs that it’s all through throttle sensitivity and the feeling of tightening the car visually in the dashboard, so paint around the dial is painted in a more aggressive color scheme.
Launch Control – a vibrant mode known as the Black Badge Ghost – is even stranger to Rolls-Royce, but we were surprised not only about what we liked, but also about what it represents. Just like the way you expect, start the fierce mode by fixing the brake pedal to the accelerator and pedaling completely. Literally, it’s the turmoil of the overall steering wheel and the car, giving the occupants a sense of inner feelings and preparing for your launch. Once the brakes are released, the full 792 lb-ft of the Black Badge Ghost will be transferred to the sidewalk in 4.1 seconds at a close range of 0-60. We were able to perform this move twice while driving, both of which were exciting. Naturally, it’s one thing to have a three-ton luxury car that feels like a rocket shooting out the price of a house, but we admire the idea that it’s a speed and a spectacle that no one would expect from Rolls-Royce – in every sense, it’s the ultimate sleeper.
Rolls-Royce Black Badge Specter is a special order tool for customers who are looking for the aforementioned and beyond, and based on the $566,100 build specification for this example, it is very deep enough to fund a single.
