Chase The
Night

Shades of darkness envelop Wraith Black Badge’s iconic features, adding even more drama to its presence. The Spirit of Ecstasy is cast in high-gloss dark chrome, forging a path through the shadows atop a powerful front grille. Paint is deepened to intense new levels of black, with dark chrome air inlets, boot lid finisher and twin exhaust pipes adding an eye-catching edge. The black Rolls-Royce badge is the final touch: a bold statement of defiance.

Wraith Black Badge’s dynamic profile is enhanced by a pitch black surface and striking 21” wheels. Developed exclusively for Black Badge, the carbon fibre composite rims are sculpted to stand out, taking their design cue from Italian supercars of the 1960s.

The cabin is transformed by a darker interpretation of luxury. Carbon fibre and aluminium threads are skilfully woven together to create the stunning technical fibre fascia. This innovative material, normally seen on the surface of stealth aircrafts, glitters temptingly in the darkness of the cabin. Sharpening your senses and enhancing the thrill of the drive.

Set into the dashboard is the newly created Black Badge clock – its hands tipped in orange to provide a subtle, but potent contrast to the rest of the interior. The clock features the infinity logo, a nod to Black Badge’s daring attitude and desire to push limits. The logo is also handstitched into Wraith’s luxury leather seats, which are tailored here in Black and Cobalto Blue leather. 

To create Wraith Black Badge, the engineering team at the Home of Rolls-Royce have pushed the boundaries of performance. The fastback coupé’s 6.6 litre V12 engine has been paired with a brand new 8-speed automatic gearbox that delivers an extra wave of torque. Responses are sharpened with Intuitive Throttle Response, which allows gears to hold for longer and the engine to rev more readily.

Steering and braking responses are sharpened, giving you more control and increasing contact with the road. But even as the pace increases, Wraith Black Badge maintains the signature Rolls-Royce magic carpet ride. Upgrades to the intelligent air suspension system delivers a cool composure over any surface.

The technology inside Wraith Black Badge doesn’t compromise either. Satellite Aided Transmission automatically selects the right gear by predicting the road ahead, while new automatic LED headlights provide night vision as you cruise through the darkness. 

Developed over four years, the wheels are unlike anything Rolls-Royce have created before. The 3D forged, aircraft-grade aluminium structure is secured using aerospace-strength titanium – making the wheels both incredibly strong and incredibly lightweight. The spokes are painted jet black, providing a stunning contrast with the carbon fibre composite rims. To make the rims, the team lay 22 layers of carbon fibre cloth in three directions, and then fold the material back on itself to provide 44 layers of strength. This process of folding makes each rim look visually unique.

This meticulous attention to detail continues into the interior. The centrepiece of the Black Badge cabin is the technical fibre fascia, a stunning display of innovative material design. To create it, our craftspeople weave together threads of 0.014mm aircraft-grade aluminium with carbon fibre. The material is then finished with 6 coats of lacquer, left to cure for 72 hours, and hand-polished to a mirror finish.
