2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

The Ghost is Rolls-Royce's entry-level sedan, but it's still a full-size luxury cruiser that competes with the Bentley Flying Spur. The ride is impossibly smooth, with the self-leveling air suspension soaking up bumps that would jolt lesser luxury cars. Inside, you get the brand's signature starlight headliner and hand-finished wood and leather that feel more like a private club than a car. Stepping up to the Black Badge from the standard Ghost brings a darker aesthetic, more power, and a sportier calibration that sharpens the car's response without losing its composure. The 6.7L V12 sends 591 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque through the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, making this Ghost feel effortless even when you push it hard. The Black Badge's stiffer suspension tuning and retuned eight-speed transmission give it a more planted feel, but the ride is still remarkably quiet and composed.
