Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge – The Dark Dimension of Luxury
In 2016, Rolls-Royce introduced the Black Badge range, an answer to customers who wanted more dynamism without compromising on luxury. The Wraith Black Badge is the most powerful statement within that philosophy: a coupé that retains elegance but with a dark, bold twist.
Get in and the first thing that strikes you is the ambience. The interior is a masterpiece of contrasts: deep black leather, subtle stitching, and carbon fibre details developed especially for Black Badge. Above your head shines the Starlight Headliner, in which more than a thousand hand-placed fibres create a starry sky. It feels not like a car, but a privé-lounge on wheels.
Then the powertrain. Under the long bonnet is a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, good for 632 hp and 870 Nm. Accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds is impressive, but it is the way it does it that counts: effortlessly, without drama, as if time itself is slowing down. The eight-speed ZF transmission anticipates your driving style and shifts with a precision you barely feel.
On the outside, nothing garish betrays its power. No bright accents, no excess, just dark chrome details, a black Spirit of Ecstasy and exclusive 21-inch wheels. The paint is deep and intense, built up in multiple layers for an almost liquid sheen. It is a car that does not demand attention, but gets it automatically.
The Wraith Black Badge is not a car for everyone. It is for the enthusiast who understands that luxury does not always have to be light. For those who want to experience power without giving up comfort. For those who know that true sophistication sometimes has a dark side.
