Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge price
Black Badge priced Rs 1.88 crore higher than Spectre
Rolls-Royce India revealed the price of the standard Spectre EV in January, which was set at Rs 7.62 crore. This means the Spectre EV costs Rs 1.88 crore less than the Black Badge version, priced at Rs 9.5 crore. It should be noted that both prices are ex-showroom India, before any customisation or personalisation.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge power and performance
74hp and 175Nm more than the standard Spectre
Compared to the standard Spectre’s total output of 585hp and 900Nm of torque, the Black Badge’s dual-motor setup has combined figures of 659hp and 1,075Nm, an increase of 74hp and 175Nm. The additional power helps the Spectre Black Badge shave 0.4 seconds off the standard EV’s claimed 0-100kph time of 4.5 seconds. However, the Spectre Black Badge has the same 102kWh battery, with the same WLTP range of up to 530km. The British marque has also tweaked the chassis, steering and roll stabilisation system to handle the Black Badge’s extra output while maintaining ride comfort.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge exterior changes
Gets blacked-out elements on the grille, door handles, badges and hood ornament
As we reported when the Spectre Black Badge made its debut, the Black Badge gets different 23-inch forged aluminium wheels, along with a new Vapour Violet paint; Rolls-Royce offers a whopping 44,000 exterior colour options, though a bespoke colour can be opted for – via the Rolls-Royce Bespoke division – for a price. As is usually the case with the brand’s Black Badge models, the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, front grille, door handles and badges are among the blacked-out elements. The Spectre Black Badge can also be opted for with an illuminated front grille and door sills, which have four colours – Tailored Purple, Charles Blue, Chartreuse and Forge Yellow.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge interior changes
Driver’s display gets 5 colour themes
Unique features of the Black Badge over the standard Spectre EV include what the brand calls an Illuminated Fascia, which comprises over 5,500 ‘stars’ of varying proportions and intensity, set in a piano black dashboard. Additionally, there are 5 colour themes for the driver’s display – Vivid Grellow, Neon Nights, Cyan Fire, Ultraviolet and Synth Wave – and plenty of cabin bits are finished in either carbon fibre or metal.
