2022 Rolls‑Royce Ghost Black Badge – Elevated Power and Refined Style

Rolls‑Royce has infused the latest Ghost with enhanced performance, cutting‑edge technology, and opulent craftsmanship. The Black Badge variant is engineered to deliver an extraordinary experience for a younger, more dynamic clientele.

1. Exterior Design

This edition is finished with a hand‑polished dark‑black coat applied over two layers of translucent paint. The iconic Spirit of Ecstasy emblem and the Patheon grille receive a unique electrolytic chrome treatment, resulting in a deep, black‑chrome base. With 45 kg of paint and a meticulous 3‑to‑5‑hour polishing process, Rolls‑Royce guarantees the darkest black finish available in the automotive world.

The Black Badge employs a distinctive 21‑inch wheel set finished in a light color. Each wheel incorporates up to 22 layers of carbon‑fiber barrels, preserving the 44‑layer carbon‑fiber pattern across the rim. The redesigned front grille features 152 LEDs, adding a modern, dynamic glow.

2. Interior Design

The cabin showcases a refined digital instrument cluster and a palette of metal, wood, and leather. The wood panels are cured at 100 °C for one hour to ensure durability, then sanded and lacquered in six layers to create a three‑dimensional, tactile experience.

The Black Badge interior embraces a dark theme, juxtaposing black tones with contrasting leather accents. The starlight headliner remains, and the Infinity logo—symbolizing limitless possibilities—is etched above the rear seat’s champagne box.

3. Performance & Speed

The 2022 Black Badge retains the 6.8‑liter twin‑turbo V‑12 but now delivers 592 hp and 664 lb‑ft of torque—an increase of 29 hp and 37 lb‑ft over the standard Ghost. The vehicle accelerates from 0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.

4. Pricing

The 2022 Rolls‑Royce Ghost Black Badge is available for order with a base price of approximately $393,500, excluding taxes. This places it $43,000 above the standard model, reflecting its exclusive features and bespoke craftsmanship.
