This series represents a bold declaration within the brand, meticulously crafted to satisfy individuals who relish the thrill of driving, appreciating the sheer power and agility from the driver’s seat.
Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, states, "With the Black Badge Ghost Series II, we have amplified the owner-driver appeal by enhancing our iconic V12 engine with high-power output, alongside a more assertive technical design and an enriched textile palette. It is the most potent, driver-focused V12 Rolls-Royce, reaffirming our commitment to our daring, dynamic customers."
Juliane Blasi, Head of Exterior Design, remarks, "In the Black Badge Ghost Series II, we have introduced design enhancements that subtly yet powerfully accentuate its agility and strength while adhering to our pure design ethos. These bespoke features, exclusive to the Black Badge Ghost Series II, cater to our client's desires for distinctive, commanding designs that empower every journey with a definitive sense of purpose."
The Black Badge, known as Rolls-Royce’s disruptive alter ego, achieves its most powerful, agile, and technically advanced expression in the Ghost Series II. This model introduces a bold evolution of its unmistakably unapologetic and driver-centric ethos, providing clients with a striking foundation for their bespoke commissions.
The Black Badge Ghost Series II's exterior is distinguished by an impressive new lower grille, marking its first unique styling adaptation. Enhanced brake air intakes, adorned with darkened chrome strips, augment the technical black chrome frames, intensifying the robustness of the iconic Pantheon Grille. For the first time, black finishes extend to the door handles, deepening the enigmatic appeal that captivates the most innovative super-luxury consumers.
A focal point is the 22-inch, part-polished, seven-spoke forged wheelset, engineered to mirror the mechanical intricacy of its legendary V12 engine and chassis technology. This design highlights the motor car’s formidable power and exceptional dynamic capabilities, attracting an increasing clientele to the Rolls-Royce brand.
Internally, the Black Badge Ghost Series II exhibits a subtle yet extensive application of dark, technical surfaces. The newly designed Clock Cabinet houses an analogue timepiece and an up-lit Spirit of Ecstasy, both presented in black chrome beside the enhanced Central Information Display featuring the advanced SPIRIT operating system. The interior is further enriched with a Technical Carbon surface finish, offering a depth and clarity that rewards close inspection.
For those opting for immersive seating, the Black Badge family motif, executed in aerospace-grade aluminium, adorns the rear Technical Carbon 'Waterfall' section, enhancing the car’s exclusivity. The interior metals undergo a physical vapour deposition process to improve the appearance and durability of elements like the speaker grilles and air vent surrounds.
The Black Badge Ghost Series II also debuts the Duality Twill textile, an innovative fabric inspired by the lush bamboo groves of the Côte d’Azur. Embroidered with a graphic representing the intertwined initials of the company's founders, this material offers an artistic dimension to the car's bespoke options.
At its heart, the formidable V12 engine is tuned to deliver greater power, directly responding to client demands for an unmatched Rolls-Royce experience. The Planar Suspension system is optimised for enhanced agility, providing the marque’s signature 'magic carpet ride', while adjustments to the braking system ensure a responsive and dynamic driving experience.
This extraordinary new iteration of the Black Badge Ghost builds on the success of its predecessor. It redefines the parameters of luxury, offering Rolls-Royce clients a profound expression of power and bespoke craftsmanship.
