ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST BLACK BADGE THE QUINTESSENTIAL ENTREPRENEUR EXPRESS REVEALS ITS DARK SIDE. Take in the squared-off bonnet and imposing grille with the ubiquitous Spirit of Ecstasy perched just above it, and it's immediately clear that the Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is a car designed to be noticed. Ghost Black Badge is created for high achievers in a hurry, and they'll find the 6.6 litre V12 engine delivers effortless, exhilarating power. Subtle engineering modifications raise power by 40hp to 603hp, while torque is also given a significant 60Nm increase to 840Nm. Brakes are uprated for more positive pedal feel, while Intuitive Throttle Response and upgrades to the 8-speed transmission achieve a transformation in character, holding gears for longer and downshifting more eagerly. The Ghost Black Badge still provides a magic carpet ride, as a Rolls-Royce should, but a harderedged side to its character is just a flexed throttle foot away. Owners of powerful sports cars may be startled into a double-take; this is a Ghost with a touch more driver focus, and proof that you don't need glitter, glitz or sparkle to take centre stage.
