The special edition version of the opulent electric vehicle from Rolls Royce has finally arrived on our shores
The new Rolls Royce Spectre Black Badge has been launched in India at a starting price of a whopping Rs 9.5 Crore, ex-showroom. We know that Rolls Royce makes some of the most luxurious and expensive vehicles on the planet. In fact, even among the elites, there is a rare community of celebrities who buy a Rolls Royce car. That represents the kind of products it makes. In India, we know that the Ambani family is particularly fond of Rolls Royce cars. They own at least half a dozen such cars. In any case, let us see what the new Rolls Royce Spectre Black Badge offers.
New Rolls Royce Spectre Black Badge Launched
This version of the EV was launched globally in February this year. It bears the tag of being the most powerful Rolls Royce ever, courtesy of 659 PS and 1,075 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. This propels the EV to go from 0 to 100 km/h in a matter of 4.1 seconds. It is mind-blowing to know that you can customize it with as many as 44,000 colour options. In essence, almost every Rolls Royce Spectre can be different from every other Spectre out there. The Spectre Black Badge commands a premium of a cool Rs 1.88 Crore, ex-showroom, over the standard model.
There is a 102 kWh battery pack, which offers a range of 530 km on a single charge, as per WLTP. It rides on massive 23-inch forged aluminium wheels. However, the buyers will be more focused on what lies inside the cabin. Known for the starlight roof, with the Spectre Black Badge, the buyers will witness a whopping 5,500 ‘stars’ of varying proportion and intensity inserted into the piano black dashboard. Rolls Royce calls it the Illuminated Fascia. For the driver’s display, there are 5 colour themes – Vivid Grellow, Neon Lights, Cyan Fire, Ultraviolet and Synth Wave. Furthermore, the interior bits use carbon fiber or metal materials.
