Rolls-Royce Black Badge WRAITH AND GHOST BLACK BADGE UNLEASHED


Black Badge is an intoxicating new incarnation of the Rolls-Royce marque. More than a colour, Black Badge is a statement for those who dare to be different.


Black Badge is for the fearless. The rule-breakers and the risk- takers. For them, the city at night is a playground of opportunity. Its darkest corners are revealed to those bold enough to look deeper. Anything is possible when you dare to play your hand.


SCULPTED BY SHADOW As a design statement, Ghost embodies simplicity. But Black Badge


adds a potent edge to its presence. This is a more tenacious, more dynamic incarnation of luxury. Wraith Black Badge is the ultimate modern fastback coupé. A long bonnet and a wide-rear track create an athletic prowess, while the sweeping lines give it a profile that glides effortlessly through the night.


The Spirit of Ecstasy is now as dark as a shadow – her bold silhouette drawing you deeper into the night. Paint is deepend to a luxurious black, and high-gloss dark chrome elements transform the front grille to create a dramatic contrast to the LED headlights. Flashes of dark chrome along the bodywork accentuate Black Badge’s subtle sculpting, carried through to the darkened boot lid and exhaust pipes. The Rolls-Royce badge also embraces a darker side, a mark of refined craftsmanship.


Black Badge’s contemporary profile is elevated by the stunning 21” carbon fibre composite wheels. Developed exclusively for Black


/ 10


Badge, the wheels’ design is based on Italian supercars of the 1960s – strong, sculpted and geometric. The self-righting Rolls-Royce monogram remains upright even when the wheels are in motion. Enter a new dimension


Comfort is built into every inch of Black Badge. Its svelte lines envelop you in a deeper, darker luxury – creating an air of pure confidence. Bold two-tone leather upholstery, shown here in black and Tailored Purple, draws the eye, while the cabin is transformed by the stunning technical fibre fascia. Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium and carbon fibre threads, the dashboard glimmers with possibility.


GHOST BLACK BADGE Ghost Black Badge is a motor car born to be driven. Its 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 engine has been enhanced to deliver more torque (840Nm) and a thrilling 603hp (450kw), making this the fastest Ghost yet. Increased power and quicker driver reactions let you surge effortlessly through the night, giving Ghost’s luxurious ride an added edge.


Embrace a more spirited drive. Upgrades to the the 8-speed automatic transmission let you pull off with more urgency, while gears are held for longer to give the engine more revving power. As the speed increases, the Ghost Black Badge powertrain reacts intuitively. Steering and braking responses are sharpened, giving you more control and increasing contact with the road.
