As the Australian publication The Drive writes, citing certification documents, the coupe will have a “rebellious” Black Badge design, which will be noticeably more powerful. The twin-engine setup is expected to produce about 660 horsepower—75 horsepower more than the standard Specter. It is still unknown when the Specter Black Badge will be released, since even the regular coupe is in great demand.
Expect the Specter Black Badge to feature dark trim like other black Rolls-Royce models. The electric car will also receive improved brakes, retuned suspension and steering.
Despite the noticeably increased output of the power plant, the traction battery will remain the same. Its capacity is 102 kilowatt-hours, which allows a standard coupe to travel about 520 kilometers on a single charge. The power reserve of the Specter Black Badge may be less, but not significantly, writes The Drive.
At the same time, the electric car in the Black Badge version is not a priority for Rolls-Royce, a brand representative said back in the summer. The standard Specter sells well, so there is no need for new modifications yet. However, the Black Badge accounts for about a quarter of the brand’s sales, so Rolls-Royce is unlikely to delay for long.
If the characteristics coincide with reality, this Specter will also be the most powerful Rolls-Royce. It will overtake the current leader – the Wraith Black Badge with a V12 developing 632 horsepower and 870 Nm of torque.
