At the beginning of the year, Rolls-Royce said it would present its second EV in 2025. Most of us assumed that it was a separate model that differs from the ghost. But when the official premiere took place last month, we were surprised to see a derivative of the electric coupé. After its online debut, the Black Badge Specter has increased in the United States.
The first public appearance of the car in the USA occurred at the weekend in Moda Miami. In its second year, the annual event is dedicated to the collectors and their ultra-luxury cars. The Specter Black Badge certainly fits into the bill and has a starting price of $ 490,000. Despite the exciting sticker, it is still $ 10,000 lower than the average RR in the USA last year. Yes, American buyers gave an average of over half a million dollars in 2024.
The Black Badge Specter was photographed in the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, and has a lot to offer. With a 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.1 seconds, it is the fastest RR production model ever. It is also the most powerful and produces 659 hp and 792 LB-FT (1,075 Nm) of its dual electric motors. I’m sorry, traditionalists, there is no 6.75 liter V12 engine with two turbo under this long hood.
It is still an all -wheel drive, but now three tenths of a second faster than the regular ghost. It is possible that the extra oomp and a spirited mode that markets jargon for a start control system temporarily unlock the complete torque. Rolls-Royce has also implemented an infinity mode that enables access to maximum performance. We are excited to see if a driver (Or should we say chauffeur?) can switch on both modes at the same time.
For the US debut, Rolls-Royce decided to present the Black Badge Specter in Dark Blue with exclusive 23-inch wheels. In contrast to the body, the mostly white interior of the show car won that only a car that bears the legendary spirit of ecstasy.
