Rolls-Royce will bring its Black Badge collection to the Goodwood Festival

If you want to spend a weekend of motoring surrounded by genuine supercars, both modern and from past eras, competition cars and motorsport legends, you have to visit the Goodwood Festival, or Festival of Speed as it is officially known, at least once in your life. Many brands gather there, and some take the opportunity to hold launches, such as Bentley or Polestar, as we have already been telling you.

The Goodwood Festival takes place just a few metres from the Rolls-Royce headquarters, so at an event of such stature it is only logical that the British brand is among those present. This has just been confirmed by Rolls-Royce, who will attend to show their complete Black Badge collection, which is nothing more than a far less conventional form of personalisation that they offer for their models and which, since the launch of this programme in 2016, already accounts for 27% of orders placed with the brand.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost was presented in autumn 2021, making it the most recent model to join this collection of laid-back models with sporty touches from the British brand. Rolls-Royce has confirmed that they will be at the Goodwood Festival with two Black Badge Ghost models, which I believe will undoubtedly be the ones that attract the most attention.

The first of the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost models on show features Galileo Blue paint on its bodywork, combined with gloss black details such as those applied to the characteristic front grille and the light surrounds, as well as carbon fibre wheels with a central nut, and it also has Galileo Blue accents and red brake calipers. Inside, the main colour carries through to the upholstery, such as the piping applied to the seats.

Those who get the chance to access the VIP area of the Goodwood Festival will find another Black Badge Ghost, but this one will be even more special and eye-catching thanks to the Lime Green colour chosen for its bodywork, which will combine perfectly with the carbon fibre inserts and elements.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Dawn

For those who prefer to go topless, the Black Badge Dawn will be the perfect choice, a model from the collection that has even been worked on by the finest specialists at Novitec to give it an even more sporty and radical look, accompanied of course by a generous dose of power.

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Dawn chosen for the Goodwood Festival has bodywork painted in Jasmine, which will be combined with the inserts and elements painted in gloss black featured on this collection, as well as 21-inch wheels specific to the Black Badge version. This two-tone combination also carries through to the interior, as can be seen in elements such as the steering wheel.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith

The Wraith is the coupé version with a roof of the Dawn, so it could not be missing from the Black Badge collection either, giving it a far more laid-back and youthful look while also lending it a very high degree of sportiness.

For the Goodwood Festival, Rolls-Royce has selected a Black Badge Wraith with bodywork painted in a finish called Tucana Purple, combined with a top section in a black finish as well as orange details, a combination perhaps a little unusual for a Rolls-Royce but one the brand has chosen to demonstrate the range of finishes and combinations available.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan

Rolls-Royce has also succumbed to the SUV trend, and the Cullinan is proof of that, so the British brand’s only model in this segment could not be missing from the Black Badge collection either, a creation made exclusively for the Goodwood Festival.

Its exterior styling begins with bodywork painted in Dark Olive, while the contrasts come from the Mandarin colour applied to the bodywork and the brake calipers. The ever-slender Spirit of Ecstasy has been made from milled carbon fibre, while the styling is rounded off with 22-inch wheels in a design unique to this finish.
