Performance

Rolls-Royce has unlocked 659hp and 1,075Nm via a new Infinity Mode, which sends power to all four wheels. While the Black Badge shares its 102kWh battery with the Spectre, an additional 82hp and 175Nm make the performance-oriented derivative even more desirable. This also results in a faster 0-100kph time of 4.1 seconds with a range of 493-530km. Tweaks have also been made to the chassis, steering and roll stabilisation system to handle the extra output while maintaining ride comfort.

Design and features

Exterior: Rolls-Royce has showcased the Black Badge in a new Vapour Violet paint with 23-inch forged aluminium wheels. Rolls-Royce is offering the Spectre Black Badge with 44,000 colour options. The Spirit of Ecstasy and front grille are blacked out, as is the norm with the Black Badge.

Interior: Unique features of the model include an illuminated grille (maximum of five colours), treadplates and over 5,500 ‘stars’ embedded in the dashboard, which the brand calls Illuminated Fascia. Additionally, there are multiple colours for the driver’s display and other cabin bits are finished in either carbon fibre or metal.

Rolls Royce Spectre Black Badge India launch, price

Rolls-Royce could launch the Spectre Black Badge in India as it currently sells the Cullinan and Ghost Black Badge models here. We expect it to be priced at about Rs 9.2 crore (before options), which, like other Black Badges, is a Rs 1.6 crore average premium over the standard car (see table below). For reference, our Rolls-Royce Spectre review noted a price of Rs 7.6 crore (before options).
