Rolls-Royce has once again pushed the boundaries of luxury and performance with the introduction of the Black Badge Ghost Series II. As the most driver-focused and agile Black Badge model ever, this stunning car delivers a striking blend of power, style, and cutting-edge technology. With a high-powered 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine and all-wheel-drive capabilities, the Black Badge Ghost Series II sets a new standard for luxury vehicles.
A Masterpiece of Power and Precision
The Black Badge Ghost Series II boasts the most advanced and powerful iteration of the Black Badge range. Its formidable 6.75-litre V12 engine has been tuned for maximum performance, offering even more power and torque than its predecessor. The all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering chassis, combined with the Black Badge Planar Suspension System, ensures an unparalleled driving experience. This system provides the signature Rolls-Royce "magic carpet ride" while enhancing the car's agility and precision on the road.
Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Chris Brownridge, describes the new model as "the most powerful and driver-focused V12 Rolls-Royce ever." He adds that the Black Badge Ghost Series II is designed for clients who want to experience the raw power of this iconic car from the driver’s seat.
Sleek and Dramatic Design
Externally, the Black Badge Ghost Series II makes an immediate impression with its daring design elements. For the first time, the lower grille receives a bespoke treatment, featuring dark chrome strips and technical black chrome frames that enhance the car's aggressive yet sophisticated appearance. The iconic Rolls-Royce Pantheon Grille and Spirit of Ecstasy figurine have also been darkened using a unique chrome electrolyte, achieving a mirror-black finish that epitomises the noir aesthetic of the Black Badge series.
One of the standout design features is the 22-inch part-polished, seven-spoke forged wheelset. These wheels not only project the mechanical complexity of the vehicle but also provide a clear view of its powerful disc brakes, further emphasising its performance capabilities.
Interior Craftsmanship and Innovation
Inside, the Black Badge Ghost Series II continues to impress with its meticulously crafted and highly bespoke interior. Rolls-Royce’s artisans have pushed the boundaries of modern luxury by incorporating advanced materials and techniques, such as Technical Carbon fibre and the new Duality Twill textile. This bamboo-based fabric, inspired by Sir Henry Royce’s former winter home in the Côte d'Azur, features up to 2.2 million stitches and 11 miles of thread, elevating the cabin’s atmosphere.
The bespoke digital interface, SPIRIT, is integrated into the new Central Information Display, enhancing the driver’s experience with cutting-edge technology. Rolls-Royce's exclusive Whispers app offers private members a direct connection to the brand’s bespoke services, further solidifying the car’s status as a luxury lifestyle icon.
Unrivalled Engineering and Performance
At the heart of the Black Badge Ghost Series II is its powerful V12 engine, which delivers 29PS more power and 50NM more torque than the standard Ghost Series II. With the push of a button, the car's "Low" mode unlocks a suite of performance features, including a 50% increase in gearshift speed and a more voluble exhaust note, giving drivers a thrilling, yet refined, driving experience.
To complement this increased power, Rolls-Royce engineers have made adjustments to the braking system, raising the bite point and reducing pedal travel. This precise engineering gives drivers greater confidence when pushing the car to its limits, ensuring that every journey is as thrilling as it is luxurious.
A New Era of Luxury
The Black Badge Ghost Series II exemplifies Rolls-Royce’s commitment to providing a bold and dynamic experience for its most daring clients. As with all Black Badge models, this car invites owners to commission bespoke designs that reflect their personal tastes, whether through custom colourways, intricate interior detailing, or bold exterior finishes.
Available for commission now, the Black Badge Ghost Series II, alongside the Ghost Series II and Ghost Extended Series II, offers an unparalleled opportunity for those seeking a car that combines extraordinary power with peerless luxury. This latest model not only marks a new chapter in the Black Badge story but also underscores Rolls-Royce’s position as the ultimate symbol of luxury in motion.
