At 2,890 kilograms (6,371 pounds), the ghost is one of the heaviest production cars that can buy money. Does that mean it is slow? Absolutely not. Even without V12 under its incredibly long bonnet, the electric coupé can move. The most powerful Rolls-Royce, which was ever made, was shot when he attacked the famous Hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025.
Although it is not the type of car that was built to pursue LAP records, the Specter Black Badge takes a rocket on the floor. The country yacht is almost too big for such a narrow course and 2.4 meters long and 2 meters long and 2 meters. The wheels are the first 23-inch set that has been attached to a two-door coupé for almost a century. Without a 6.75 liter engine with two turbo under the bonnet comes the only sound that results from the solid tires.
Even for those who are skeptical, it is difficult to argue that electric motors do not fit perfectly with an ultra luxury car. Rolls-Royce buyers expect a trip that is smooth and calm like a butter. The ghost delivers this in spade, and with the black badge it adds an additional layer of performance.
The strongest RR on paper thanks to 650 hp and a monstrous torque of 1.075 Nm (793 LB-FT) makes torque in just 4.1 seconds 0 to 60 miles per hour. The full performance is triggered by pressing a button on the steering wheel to activate the “Infiniti” mode that adds 73 hp. When driving normal, the black badge produces 577 hp, just like the standard spot.
In order to access the complete torque, a separate “spirited” mode, essentially a start control setting, selects the engines to create an additional 180 Nm (133 LB-FT). Without him, the Black Badge delivers the same 895 Nm (660 LB-FT) as the regular model. No matter whether weight, performance or strength, every figure makes the large coupé a rolling collection of superlatives.
It is also a commercial success. In 2024, the ghost was the second best model of the brand worldwide and the most popular Rolls-Royce in Europe.
