Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge Launched in India at ₹9.5 Cr – Pure Luxury Goes Electric
In a move that signals a powerful blend of opulence and cutting-edge technology, Rolls-Royce has officially launched the Spectre Black Badge in India, priced at a jaw-dropping ₹9.5 crore (ex-showroom). This is not just another electric car—it’s the world’s first ultra-luxury electric super coupe, and it brings with it the same aristocratic charm that Rolls-Royce is known for, now electrified for the modern era.
With the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge now launched in India, this marks a major moment in the luxury EV segment in the country. It shows that electric mobility is no longer just about sustainability, but also about prestige, customisation, and exclusivity.
What is the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge?
The Black Badge edition is Rolls-Royce’s more rebellious and dynamic version of their already-luxurious cars. Think of it as the darker, bolder, and sportier sibling of the standard version. In the case of the Spectre, Rolls-Royce’s first fully electric vehicle, this badge brings a new kind of personality: power, performance, and presence.
With blacked-out styling, more power, and a distinct identity, the Spectre Black Badge is for those who want luxury with an edge.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge Launch Price in India
The starting price for the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge in India is ₹9.5 crore, ex-showroom. That’s before you even start customising it—something every Rolls-Royce buyer is known to do lavishly.
For context:
- ₹9.5 crore is more than the price of 20 BMWs.
- And yes, this makes the Spectre Black Badge one of the most expensive electric vehicles ever sold in India.
But if you’re buying a Rolls-Royce, chances are you’re not asking about price. You’re looking for exclusivity, legacy, and status—and the Spectre Black Badge delivers all that with a silent electric growl.
Performance & Power – Luxury Meets Brutal Force
Don’t be fooled by its graceful design—under that sleek hood (well, there’s no engine technically), the Spectre Black Badge packs some serious punch:
- 659 bhp of power
- 1075 Nm of torque
- 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds
- Range of up to 530 km on a single charge (WLTP)
That’s supercar-level torque in a car that weighs close to 3 tonnes. But Rolls-Royce doesn’t like shouting about speed—it prefers whispering about supremacy.
A Design That Redefines Electric Elegance
Rolls-Royce says the Spectre was designed as the spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe, and you can see the resemblance in its bold proportions.
Key Exterior Highlights:
- Long, flowing bodywork with coach doors (rear-hinged, and massive)
- Illuminated Pantheon grille with 22 LEDs, a first in RR history
- 23-inch aero wheels, the largest ever fitted to a Rolls
- Deep black accents, signature of the Black Badge identity
And of course, the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament remains, slightly redesigned for better aerodynamics.
Interior – The Most Luxurious Cabin In Any EV
Step inside, and you’re in a different universe altogether. Rolls-Royce calls it “the world’s most connected and comforting interior.”
- Starlight headliner: 4,796 individually placed fibre-optic “stars”
- Illuminated Black Badge treadplates and fascia
- Endless customisation: You can choose the leather grain, seat stitching, even door inlays
- Digital interface named Spirit, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern tech
And the silence? The car is so quiet that Rolls-Royce had to add sound to make it feel natural. That’s what true luxury means—not just removing noise, but sculpting it.
Built On Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Architecture
The Spectre isn’t built on a shared EV platform. Instead, it uses Rolls-Royce’s own “Architecture of Luxury,” an all-aluminium spaceframe that’s been re-engineered to handle the weight of electric batteries and deliver that famous Rolls-Royce magic carpet ride.
A Few Unique Engineering Facts:
- Battery pack weighs around 700 kg, adding stiffness and low centre of gravity
- The body is 30% stiffer than any previous Rolls
- Suspension uses planar technology – it reads the road ahead and prepares the car in advance
- Steers like a smaller car thanks to four-wheel steering
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge In India – Who’s It For?
In India, this isn’t a mass market car. This is a statement piece, likely to be owned by:
- Industrialists
- Celebrities
- Royals
- Private collectors
Already, a few units have reportedly been pre-booked by ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNIs) in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
It’s not about getting from point A to B. It’s about doing it in the most silent, commanding, and elegant manner possible.
This is more than just another fancy EV. It represents a bold transformation for one of the oldest names in luxury motoring.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- It’s the world’s first super-luxury EV coupe.
- Rolls-Royce didn’t compromise—they created an EV that still feels like a Rolls.
- It challenges perceptions—that EVs must look futuristic or minimalist. The Spectre is classic, not clinical.
- It marks the beginning of an all-electric future for Rolls-Royce by 2030.
- India’s market maturity is rising, and Rolls-Royce clearly believes the demand for premium EVs is growing even in this price bracket.
Deliveries for the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge in India are expected to begin later this year. Bookings are open at Rolls-Royce dealerships in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. Each car takes several months to be hand-built, and delivery timelines are strictly customised based on the buyer’s specification list.
A Darker, Bolder, Silent Revolution
With the launch of the Spectre Black Badge, Rolls-Royce has proved once again that it doesn’t follow trends—it creates them. This car doesn’t shout power, it whispers legacy. It’s fast, but composed. Electric, but elegant. Black Badge, but still very much Rolls.
As electric vehicles become more common, the Spectre shows that luxury can evolve without losing soul. For India, this isn’t just another launch. It’s a sign that EV luxury has arrived—and it wears a tuxedo made of carbon, leather, and stardust.
