The 2025 Rolls-Royce Black Badge Spectre

Developing more power than any Rolls before it, the Black Badge Spectre is an ultra-lux coupe with a sporty edge. 

“So, left foot hard on the brake, right foot on the accelerator, and sidestep the brake to launch?”

“Yup, simple as that.”

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Spectre takes the brand’s ultra-luxury EV to new heights by blending enhanced performance with its signature refinement. Debuting on the track in Spain, this Spectre boasts a significant power boost—659 hp and 792 lb-ft of torque—unlocked through its new "Infinity Mode," which also introduces a launch control system. Despite its 6,371-pound weight, the Black Badge Spectre rockets to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, rivaling sports cars like the Porsche 911.

While its sportier tuning, revised dampers, and improved anti-roll system make it more agile on winding roads, the Spectre remains a Rolls-Royce at heart—whisper-quiet, supremely comfortable, and opulently crafted. The fully electric powertrain enhances its serene cabin experience, and bespoke details, from an illuminated dashboard to a backlit Pantheon Grille, reinforce its exclusivity.

Though its 266-mile range isn’t groundbreaking, Rolls-Royce emphasizes that its owners, who typically own multiple vehicles, prioritize luxury and exclusivity over practicality. At a starting price of $465,000, the Black Badge Spectre redefines what an electric grand tourer can be—seamlessly fusing effortless power with the timeless opulence that defines Rolls-Royce.
