Back in 2016 Rolls-Royce launched ‘Black Badge’. Wanting a new, slightly rebellious strand to youth things up a bit, Black Badge offers Rollers (it’s been available on everything apart from Phantom so far) more performance and luxury but in a contemporary darkened aesthetic. Now there’s a new one: the 2022 Ghost Black Badge. So Top Gear decided to spec the blackest Rolls-Royce ever, then take it on a journey through darkness. As there’s more to black than being the opposite of white. As Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Content, Rowan Horncastle, will explain.
