Testing a Rolls-Royce<\/a> from 0-60 mph is a bit like making the Queen of England run a 40-yard dash \u2014 interesting but pointless and also kind of hilarious. However, that\u2019s exactly what we did in Miami, Florida and, ironically, it was Rolls\u2019 idea. During our trip to test out the new Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge<\/a>, we had the chance to test its 0-60 mph time and its 60-0 mph braking distance. All of it facilitated by Rolls-Royce\u2026 the brand that would typically put anyone in a stockade for drag racing one of its cars.<\/p>\n

The big Rollers are quick, there\u2019s no denying that. With 6.75 liter twin-turbocharged V12s making 592 horsepower and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, the Black Badge Ghosts are certainly capable of getting their passengers to the country club in record time. However, doing so is very obviously not what the car wants. You can even see the nose lift under hard acceleration and, conversely, watch the nose dive under braking. It\u2019s not meant to be driven as hard as we drove it, even if it\u2019s capable of doing so.<\/p>\n

Black Badge doesn\u2019t mean performance, so don\u2019t think of these cars as like Ghost Ms. Instead, the Black Badge\u2026 erm, badge\u2026 signifies style, presence, and a new era of opulence. Black Badge Rollers are meant for younger, more stylish crowd; from Silicon Valley types, to athletes, to musicians; whereas your standard Rolls-Royce models (internally known as Silver Badge) are you more traditional luxury.<\/p>\n

That said, the Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is an incredibly cool car, one that oozes style and luxury like few other cars on the planet. It\u2019s also fun to know that it can run to 60 mph as quick as a sport sedan and brake as hard as one if need be. Its passengers won\u2019t be too please during such maneuvers, as they\u2019d almost certainly spill their champagne and caviar, but it\u2019s good to know it can be done.<\/p>\n
