Rolls-Royce has announced that it will be showcasing its entire Black Badge model range to the public at the Good Wood Festival of Speed. The English luxury carmaker currently has a four-model line-up under its Black Badge series including the drop-top Dawn, the Cullinan, the Wraith and the new Ghost. The carmaker first introduced its Black Badge series in 2016 with the models now accounting for about 27 per cent of all model commissions the company receives from across the world. Compared to their standard counterparts, the Black Badge models feature a darker cosmetic theme along with tweaks to the mechanicals to offer more power and an altered driving experience as compared to the standard models.
“With its location, just a stone's throw away from The Home of Rolls-Royce on the Goodwood Estate, the Festival of Speed is a very important event for the brand. This year, our full Black Badge portfolio will be displayed at the event on the Laundry Green. I am delighted to showcase such highly Bespoke cars in vivacious colours and luxurious hues, testament to the creativity of our artisans, designers and engineers,” said Boris Weletzky, Regional Director UK, Europe, Russia and Central Asia, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
