Back in 2016 Rolls-Royce launched ‘Black Badge’. Wanting a new, slightly rebellious strand to youth things up a bit, Black Badge offers Rollers (it’s been available on everything apart from Phantom so far) more performance and luxury but in a contemporary darkened aesthetic. Now there’s a new one: the 2022 Ghost Black Badge. So Top Gear decided to spec the blackest Rolls-Royce ever, then take it on a journey through darkness. As there’s more to black than being the opposite of white. As Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Content, Rowan Horncastle, will explain.

Rolls Royce are pretty bespoke, there is not much they cannot do for the right price. I'm surprised they can not get a car painted Vanta Black. Let's face it BMW and Mercedes Benz have been using Vanta Black on their indicators for years.

@DethLok Жыл бұрын

The Vanta Black guy said it can be done, for north of six figures, so... give them a million quid and you can have a VB RR. And then you have to keep it clean, somehow... Also, nice burn on the BMW and Merc drivers, subtle - I like it :)

@cypherpunk12 Жыл бұрын

I don't mind a full black car or something, or have black detailing for styling purposes, but often times i think it's kind of a shame to lose the shiny emblems over the black ones, in my opinion of course. Whenever i see an Audi or Mercedes with the black logos, to me it just looks less pretty and less cool, even though they're supposed to be cool, but i guess at 38 i am part of the old generation, stats mattered to me when i was a teen/early 20s. I've always preferred style over function (Countach is my favorite design), but i am not specifically on board with the black editions craze.
