Rolls-Royce has introduced the Black Badge Spectre, an upgraded version of its first all-electric model, making it the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever produced, the British luxury automaker announced on Friday.
The Black Badge Spectre boosts output to 485 kW in Infinity mode, compared to 430 kW in the standard model. This special mode, activated via a steering wheel button, sharpens throttle response and enhances digital displays to reflect the car’s sportier character.

In Spirited Mode, Rolls-Royce’s version of launch control, the car delivers 1,075 Nm of torque—an increase from 900 Nm—allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the standard Spectre.
The company has not disclosed battery modifications, though the 102 kWh pack remains unchanged. Given the increased power, the WLTP range is expected to be lower than the standard model’s 520 km.

The Black Badge series traditionally includes enhanced dynamics and styling, and this Spectre variant is no exception. It features revised steering and suspension, a new exterior color option, and bespoke 23-inch wheels.
Rolls-Royce says the development of the Black Badge Spectre was driven by customer demand and driving data analysis. The company examined hundreds of thousands of miles of anonymized driving data from Black Badge owners to tailor the car’s performance and design. “Black Badge owners from around the world permitted our specialists to access their anonymized data, enabling us to create a new driving experience perfectly suited to – and validated by – the way our clients use their motor car,” said Bernhard Dressler, Technical Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The Black Badge Spectre continues Rolls-Royce’s electrification strategy, offering a bolder, performance-focused variant for its most discerning clientele.
