Rolls-Royce has officially launched the Spectre Black Badge in India, and it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Priced at an eye-watering Rs 9.50 crore (ex-showroom), this all-electric luxury coupe is not just the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever—it’s also one of the rarest cars you’ll ever see on Indian roads.
The Spectre Black Badge made its global debut in early 2024 and has now reached Indian shores, catering to an ultra-exclusive group of buyers who want extreme performance without compromising on handcrafted luxury.
Design
The Spectre Black Badge isn’t just about electric power—it’s about presence. It features the signature Rolls-Royce Pantheon grille, finished in a striking dark tone for this edition. The all-black theme continues across the door handles, window trims, and even the massive 23-inch two-tone alloy wheels.
The visual drama is real. The overall silhouette remains elegant, but the subtle yet aggressive dark detailing gives the Black Badge an edgier look. It’s bold, it’s exclusive, and it demands attention—even when parked.
Interior
Step inside and you enter a world that blends futuristic tech with old-school craftsmanship. The Illuminated Fascia is one of the standout features. It includes an Infinity logo on the passenger side, glowing gently behind a layer of polished trim. This bespoke element is unique to the Black Badge and sets the tone for the rest of the cabin.
In terms of tech, there’s a fully customisable digital instrument cluster that allows the driver to personalise the display according to their preferences. A large touchscreen infotainment system runs on Rolls-Royce’s new Spirit operating system, designed to offer a seamless, intuitive experience.
Every inch of the interior is handcrafted using premium materials, making each Spectre Black Badge a rolling piece of art.
Performance
This may be a Rolls-Royce, but the Spectre Black Badge doesn’t just waft along—it surges ahead. Powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, the car delivers a staggering 650bhp and 1,075Nm of torque. That’s enough power to launch this nearly three-ton machine from 0 to 100kmph in just 4.1 seconds.
There’s also Launch Control and an exclusive Infinity mode that unlocks the full ferocity of the powertrain when the road (and mood) permits. It’s fast, it’s quiet, and it redefines what electric performance can look and feel like in a luxury package.
Battery and Range
Equipped with a 102kWh battery pack, the Spectre Black Badge promises a real-world range between 493 and 530 kilometres, depending on driving style and conditions. Given the vehicle’s size and weight, this is an impressive number and should offer more than enough range for weekend getaways or city cruising.
Charging support is likely to include both AC and DC fast-charging capabilities, although exact details for India-specific infrastructure compatibility are yet to be disclosed.
Verdict
The Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge isn’t just a luxury EV—it’s a symbol of where high-end automotive design and electric innovation are headed. At Rs 9.50 crore, it’s obviously not for everyone. But for those who can afford it, this car offers an unmatched combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge performance.
If you ever do spot one, consider yourself lucky—it’s not just a car, it’s an experience on wheels.
