Roll Royce just came up with their most powerful car to date. On Monday, Rolls Royce unveiled the new Rolls Royce Black Badge Spectre. If you know a thing or two about Rolls-Royce, you’d know the Black Badge is not just for being chauffeured in. Rolls-Royce builds them to accompany all that luxury with the most power.
The Black Badge Spectre isn’t ‘all show and no go.’ It is equipped with a dual-motor setup that produces 659 hp and 1075 Nm of torque. To put that into perspective, the Rolls Royce Spectre had 577 bhp and almost 900 Nm of torque.
Not Your Average Rolls Royce
Although there is no such thing as average about a Rolls Royce, however, the Black Badge Spectre is still quite extraordinary. Some of you might think it’s just another Spectre with another motor. That’s not true. The Black Badge Spectre has a redesigned chassis along with an additional motor for better handling and traction without compromising the luxe factor.
According to Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, “Reflecting the Black Badge character, our designers and artisans realized their most dramatic and provocative vision with vivid details and exquisite contemporary crafts. The result is Black Badge Spectre: the alter ego of our brand, amplified.
Black Badge Spectre is one of the clearest statements of power and purpose we have ever made.
We created it in the image of our boldest and most audacious clients, with meticulous attention to detail..”
Infinity Mode and Spirited Mode?
A special group of Rolls Royce clients contributed the driving data for this new Black Badge. Purists may not like the fact that the most powerful Rolls Royce doesn’t have the iconic V12.
However, Rolls-Royce plans to electrify its vehicle lineup by 2030. That doesn’t mean it won’t make fast luxury cars. The new Spectre comes with an infinity mode, in which you can access 100% of the vehicle’s electric power.
In a drag race with a German car, you can use the Spirited mode, which enables it to accelerate hard. This means you can hit 0-100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
