Known for crafting vehicles that epitomise grace and grandeur, Rolls-Royce has now turned its attention to something a little more audacious – the Black Badge Spectre.
This is the boldest, most powerful Rolls-Royce in history, engineered for those who refuse to conform.
This Spectre effortlessly delivers 659hp (485 kW) and 1,075Nm of torque, making it the most powerful production Rolls-Royce ever.
While traditional Rolls-Royce models exude effortless serenity, Black Badge Spectre cranks up the intensity. The engineers behind this creation had one job: to amplify the raw character of the vehicle while ensuring it still drives with the brand’s signature smoothness.
Rolls-Royce studied hundreds of thousands of miles of anonymised client driving data to fine-tune the Black Badge experience.
If there’s one thing Rolls-Royce understands, it’s how to make power feel effortless. That ethos is alive and well in Infinity Mode, an all-new feature that takes performance to an entirely new level.
With a press of the Infinity button on the steering wheel, the car’s full 659hp is unleashed, instantly sharpening the throttle response. The dashboard even lights up in vibrant hues, a visual cue that things are about to get very interesting.
Inspired by the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine from World War II fighter planes, Spirited Mode delivers an even more exhilarating driving experience. By simultaneously pressing the brake and throttle, the system prepares for an explosive launch. Releasing the brake activates instant torque delivery, propelling Black Badge Spectre in the century sprint in just 4.1 seconds.
All this power would mean nothing without control. That’s why Rolls-Royce engineers have retuned the chassis dynamics for an even more engaging drive. The steering is weightier, body roll is reduced, and damping has been adjusted to keep the ride planted without compromising that legendary Magic Carpet Ride sensation.
And even if you don’t prefer all of the driving benefits, from the moment you set eyes on Black Badge Spectre, you know it’s something special. The Vapour Violet paint, inspired by the neon glow of 1980s and 1990s club culture, is extremely striking.
Paired with a contrasting Iced Black bonnet, it gives the coupé an unmistakably assertive stance. If Vapour Violet isn’t quite your style, Rolls-Royce offers 44,000 custom colours or the option to create an entirely bespoke shade.
For the first time, clients can also opt for a waft coachline, a subtle yet striking accent that runs along the lower half of the car, adding to its dynamic presence. New 23-inch five-spoke forged aluminium wheels, available in either a polished or full-black finish, complete the look.
Rolls-Royce has taken ambient lighting to another level with the Illuminated Pantheon Grille. Intersingly, clients can now customise the colour of the grille’s backplate, choosing from Tailored Purple, Charles Blue, Chartreuse, or Forge Yellow. The illuminated theme continues inside, with Illuminated Black Badge Treadplates available in ten vibrant shades.
Inside the cabin, the dashboard is a work of art. Inspired by the Spirit of Ecstasy, the Illuminated Fascia now features over 5,500 stars, arranged in an abstract design that incorporates the Black Badge infinity symbol. It’s a nod to pioneers of speed, a visual tribute to those who push boundaries.
Meanwhile, the Technical Fibre interior trim is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Using carbon fibre and fine metal threads, artisans have created a three-dimensional diamond pattern, sealed under six layers of lacquer and polished to absolute perfection.
With record-breaking power, exhilarating performance, and an aesthetic that redefines luxury, Black Badge Spectre is Rolls-Royce at its most audacious.
And for those daring enough to take the wheel, it promises a driving experience like no other.
