Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge Launched in India: Price, Features

Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge, which costs ₹9.50 crore (ex-showroom) and is ₹1.88 crore more expensive than the regular Spectre, has been formally introduced in India. With this, the opulent British brand unveils not only one of the priciest EVs available in India, but also its most potent production vehicle to date. The Spectre Black Badge combines customized craftsmanship, improved driving dynamics, a striking, dark visual identity, and state-of-the-art electrification. The following are the top features that distinguish this electric grand tourer:

Powertrain and Battery

The Spectre Black Badge is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, which together provide 659 horsepower and 1,075 Nm of torque. With a 0 to 100 kmph acceleration time of 4.1 seconds, this makes the automobile the fastest and most potent Rolls-Royce ever produced. With its 102 kWh battery pack, the car can go 493 to 530 kilometers on a single charge, depending on the road.

Interior

The car’s interior has an illuminated “Infinity” logo on the dashboard, which is a component of a display that has 5,500 tiny lights inside the cabin that resemble stars in the sky. The most recent ‘Spirit’ infotainment system, a new digital display with five theme options, and luminous Black Badge treadplates are also included. To improve control, Rolls-Royce modified the chassis by increasing steering weight and fine-tuning the suspension to produce a smoother but sportier driving experience.

Exterior

The Black Badge edition gives the already sophisticated Spectre design a frightening edge. Instead of the typical polished metal embellishments, the Spirit of Ecstasy, badging, trim pieces, and the iconic Pantheon grille are all coated in black chrome. The darkish theme is carried over to the bumpers, door handles, and window surrounds, giving the vehicle a more sly appearance.

The coupe’s aggressive stance is further highlighted by its unique 23-inch five-spoke forged alloy wheels and new Vapour Violet paint color. Customers can select from more than 44,000 exterior colors, but this is only the beginning for a Rolls-Royce. Additionally, the grille’s backplate can be individually customized or painted to match the body, enabling owners to create a car that is exclusively theirs.

Handling and Dynamics

In addition to increasing the Spectre Black Badge’s power, Rolls-Royce has adjusted the vehicle’s basic mechanics to make sure it can confidently and gracefully handle the higher output. Recalibration of the chassis has resulted in a more driver-centric experience. Its weightier steering provides more input and control, its stiffer dampers help control over undulations, and its improved roll stabilization improves cornering balance. The ultra-plush ride for which Rolls-Royce is renowned is maintained while improved handling and poise are provided by these modifications. It makes sure that the Spectre Black Badge stays calm, elegant, and distinctly regal even when driving energetically.
