Hot on the heels of yesterday\u2019s unveiling of the Ghost Black Badge<\/a>, Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten M\u00fcller-\u00d6tv\u00f6s has revealed electric vehicles will also be receiving the sporty treatment. In an interview with CNET\u2019s Roadshow<\/em> during an event held in Miami, Florida, the British luxury brand\u2019s head honcho announced the Spectre will spawn a more athletic version.<\/p>\n

When asked about whether a Spectre Black Badge is on the way, M\u00fcller-\u00d6tv\u00f6s responded with: \u201cYes, definitely.\u201d As a matter of fact, the man in charge at Rolls-Royce said every zero-emissions model will be sold as a Black Badge as well. While RR is eager to expand its portfolio of sportier offerings, it\u2019s not going to be the case with the Phantom<\/a> as the flagship model will skip the Black Badge specification.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the company\u2019s boss refused to go into details about zero-emissions Black Badge models, but we\u2019re expecting the usual upgrades. A stiffer chassis seems like an educated guess, along with slightly more power, and subtle styling accents inside and out as demonstrated on past products, including the Wraith and Cullinan Black Badge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

M\u00fcller-\u00d6tv\u00f6s told Roadshow<\/em> the Spectre \u201cwill be a proper Black Badge product, that\u2019s for sure. We want to position electric [power] in a very emotional car. [The Spectre] is very much a driver\u2019s car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teased at the end of last month, the fully electric Spectre is programmed to go on sale towards the end of 2023 and will likely be shortly followed by the Black Badge derivative. Before that happens, prototypes are going to be subjected to extensive tests by covering 1.55 million miles (2.5 kilometers) or more than any other Rolls-Royce before. The company has mentioned this high mileage represents the equivalent of owning one of their cars for no fewer than 400 years.<\/p>\n

The Spectre will kick-start Rolls-Royce\u2019s electric agenda as the brand will switch exclusively to EVs by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n
