Rolls-Royce is a company generally associated with luxury motoring. Beyond its automotive division, the firm is also a supplier of aerospace/nautical propulsion systems, submarine nuclear reactors, and more. So, when the Spectre made its debut in 2022, public reception was generally positive. Thus, we now have the Black Badge Spectre Series II as the ultimate trim level that defines the nameplate.
“The visceral intensity of Black Badge Spectre Series II promises an earth-shattering performance. Beneath its imposing visual character, an immense power pulses — primed and restless — ready to emerge in an instant.” Marketing spiel aside, this is one outstanding EV that lives up to the elegance buyers expect from the “RR” monogram.
This is no sedan, but it can still seat up to four in a 2+2 layout. A fastback profile informs the exterior of this sleek coupe. Rolls-Royce outfits each axle with an electric motor for reliable all-wheel-drive performance. In standard driving settings, output is approximately 601 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque.
However, once you engage Infinity Mode, the system dials it all the way up to 671 horsepower. Spirited Mode, on the other hand, boosts torque to around 811 lb-ft. Rolls-Royce lists a zero-to-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, while the top speed is around 155 mph. The EV rides on a set of bespoke, open, seven-spoke rims in black.
For a cohesive look, other embellishments such as the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, grille, and badging are likewise rendered in a glossy black finish. Meanwhile, the Badge Spectre Series II cabin is never lacking in opulent appointments. Among the materials in use is a special rayon fabric from bamboo that Rolls-Royce calls Duality Twill.
