Rolls-Royce Unveils Most Powerful EV Yet With Spectre Black Badge
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector Rolls-Royce has pushed the boundaries of electric performance with the debut of the 2025 Spectre Black Badge, the most powerful model the luxury automaker has ever produced. The high-performance version of the Spectre, Rolls-Royce's first fully electric vehicle, boasts 650 horsepower and 793 pound-feet of torque from its dual-motor powertrain. That marks a 73-horsepower increase over the standard model, enabling even swifter acceleration in the brand's ultra-luxurious electric coupe. The added power is accessible through a newly introduced Infinity drive mode, which sharpens accelerator response and modifies the digital gauge display for a more dynamic driving experience. The Spirited mode, another addition exclusive to the Black Badge, engages launch control, allowing the Spectre to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 4.1 seconds. However, given that the standard Spectre previously outperformed its own official acceleration claims, industry analysts speculate that the Black Badge may achieve even quicker results in real-world testing. Rolls-Royce engineers have also revised the chassis tuning for a more engaging ride. Steering weight has been increased, while refinements to the suspension system aim to reduce body roll and improve stability under hard acceleration and braking. These adjustments come in response to customer demand for a more performance-focused version of the Spectre. 'The Black Badge treatment represents more than just added power — it's about confidence and control,' a Rolls-Royce spokesperson said. Visually, the Spectre Black Badge takes on a more aggressive persona, featuring darker trim elements and exclusive high-gloss carbon fiber interior finishes. Customers also have access to an extensive range of bespoke customization options, a hallmark of the Rolls-Royce brand. Pricing for the Black Badge variant has not been officially disclosed, though it is expected to exceed the Spectre's $422,750 base price. Despite the premium cost, early demand is reportedly strong, reinforcing Rolls-Royce's commitment to blending performance with unparalleled luxury in the electric era.

2025 Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge Adds More Power to the Equation
The has a new Black Badge variant that adds 73 horsepower, making it the most powerful Rolls ever. The additional power is accessible with a new Infinity drive mode, while a new Spirited Mode enables launch control. claims that client demand for a sportier Spectre prompted the creation of a secret fleet of early Black Badge models. The most powerful Rolls-Royce to ever saunter down the motorways is here and isn't powered by a silky-smooth V-12. Instead, the crown goes to the new Black Badge version of the Rolls-Royce Spectre electric coupe. The legendary automaker has been using the Black Badge moniker to denote its high-performance models for nearly a decade, but the Spectre is the first EV to get the title. As with the standard Spectre (if anything about the Spectre can be called standard), the Black Badge comes with all-wheel drive and a pair of electric motors. The standard car's 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque are more than enough to hustle the grand two-door down the boulevard, and the performance version should be even quicker, as it packs 650 horsepower and 793 pound-feet of torque. The maximum number of horses is only accessible via the new Infinity driving mode that improves accelerator response and gives the gauge display a sportier arrangement. The max torque comes into play with a new Spirited drive mode that essentially acts as a launch-control system. The mode is engaged by pressing the brake and accelerator to the floor at the same time, waiting for the go-ahead from the car, and then letting it rip. Rolls says that the increase in power and the launch system mean the Spectre Black Badge can sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, but considering we managed just 3.7 seconds in our testing of the standard car, we expect the performance model to do even better. To "inspire clients to wield the unprecedented power of Black Badge Spectre with confidence," Rolls-Royce engineers increased the steering weight and fiddled with the dampers to reduce body roll and squatting under acceleration. We're not sure exactly how much Rolls-Royce is asking for the Black Badge version of its EV coupe, but we imagine it's a sizable increase compared with the 2025 Spectre's $422,750 starting price.

The Black Badge Spectre Is the Most Powerful Rolls-Royce Ever
Subtlety is not a reason that inspires people to purchase a Rolls-Royce. And while the all-electric Spectre might just be the most socially conscious of the brand's offerings, its customers have been clamoring for something with a bit more bite. The brand's response is the Spectre Black Badge, launching today as a purple-hued monster of a coupe that looks to the nightclubs of the Radwood era for its flair. Still, with 659 hp from its dual motors and a retuned suspension at its disposal, the Black Badge Spectre promises to have some dance moves of its own. The steering has been adjusted for increased effort, while tweaked roll stabilization should improve feel and cornering flatness. The dampers have also been re-tuned to add a bit more athleticism to the mix, with a specific focus on reducing front-end pitch in acceleration. That'll be important, as the model also comes equipped with a new launch control system called Spirited Mode. This mode unlocks the full 792 lb-ft of instant torque, helping propel the Spectre to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. There's also the new Infinity Mode, which allows instant access to the car's full 659 hp and a sharper throttle response. That sort of output, as it so happens, makes the Black Badge Spectre the most powerful Rolls-Royce yet. Setting the Vapor Violet launch color aside for the moment, the Black Badge Spectre comes with some unique visual tweaks. The illuminated grille now features a colored backplate, with offerings of Tailored Purple, Charles Blue, Chartreuse, Forge Yellow, and Turchese. The backplate and the lighting combine to create a sort of glowing effect, which should make it even easier to identify the car at night. A black-painted hood is also on offer, should you so choose, as is a new coachline stripe option. The optional 23-inch five-spoke wheels (22s are standard) are quite stylish, and can be had in either partially polished or all-black finish, depending on how sinister you want to look. All of the exterior trim has lost the shine found on their regular Spectre equivalent to keep with the theme, while the interior systems add bespoke Black Badge software. The Black Badge Spectre isn't a cheap car. Rolls-Royce will ask $490,000 to start, but as with any Roller these days, the sky is always the limit from there. It might be worth it for the Vapor Violet alone... if you can ignore the 44,000 other colors on the offer list.
