The most powerful Rolls-Royce ever has arrived in Qatar and enthusiasts got the chance to experience it in a special event at Lusail International Circuit.

Black Badge Spectre made its Doha debut through an effortless and commanding demonstration on the racetrack.

The Black Badge, the marque’s alter ego amplified, boasts bold exteriors, vivid interiors and limitless Bespoke potential made for the boldest and most audacious clients. With an unprecedented 1,075Nm of torque and 659hp power output, it stands as the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever.

Two advanced powertrain innovations mirror the burst-power capabilities of the legendary Merlin engine. Infinity Mode unlocks the full 659hp output for an immediate, heightened throttle response. While Spirited Mode, engaged while stationary, delivers an instant acceleration surge, propelling the car from 0-96km/h in just 4.1 seconds.

To ensure drivers fully harness Black Badge Spectre’s power, Rolls-Royce engineers refined the chassis for enhanced confidence and control. Increased steering weight and adjusted roll stabilisation improve feedback and reduce body-roll during cornering, while enhanced dampers optimise body control, minimising ‘squatting’ under acceleration or deceleration. These revisions perfectly balance an enhanced sense of engagement with the effortless operation and fêted Magic Carpet Ride associated with Rolls-Royce motor cars.

Black Badge Spectre debuts in Vapour Violet, a deep black-violet inspired by 1980s’ and 1990s’ club culture. A contrasting Iced Black bonnet adds a bold statement, with clients able to choose from 44,000 colours or create a Bespoke hue in collaboration with Rolls-Royce designers.

The 23-inch five-spoke forged aluminium wheels, available in part-polished or all-black finishes, reflect the car’s technical sophistication. Signature darkened brightwork, including the Pantheon Grille, Spirit of Ecstasy and double ‘R’ Badge of Honour, reinforces Black Badge Spectre’s subversive, noir identity.✤
