Rolls-Royce Creates Special Ghost Black ‘Solar Eclipse’ Badge

Could Rolls-Royce have taken inspiration from an old cabaret show by Theo Maassen? If so, we can prepare for RR ‘Chipolata pudding’ and Black Badge ‘Aluminium’. Wondering what Top Gear has been pulling again? Search ‘Theo Maassen Eindhoven’ on YouTube and don’t be shocked by the picture and sound quality. When you stay here, we welcome you to the special Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis, or Ghost ‘Solar Eclipse’.

Rolls-Royce is building 25 of the special edition. If you want one, you’re out of luck, because all copies are already sold. The luxury brand is not revealing what 25 lucky people paid for the Black Badge. In any case, Rolls doesn’t go into too much detail about the car’s important details, such as the engine or performance.

No, Rolls-Royce prefers to talk about the Starlight Headliner, or in Dutch: star ceiling. When the doors of the special Ghost are closed and the engine is started, the light show starts on the roof. 1,846 ‘stars’ mimic the image you see during a solar eclipse. In total, the animation takes seven minutes and 31 seconds. Just enough time for your driver to take you from the golf course to your villa.

The driver can read the time from a special clock on the front. A 0.5-carat diamond is embedded in the watch ring. This is another record of the eclipse. By the way, that orange color that you meet in the interior can also be included in the umbrellas hidden in the door. Could this be the definition of ‘having so much money that you don’t know what to do with it anymore’?
