Rolls Royce Black Badge Now Available In Nigeria: Photos And Details
Many cars are found on Nigerian roads but there’s one brand that sits in a class of its own. It’s the Rolls-Royce MotorCar. It’s not just a car. It’s a phenomenal monument.
To add icing on the cake, Coscharis Motors Limited recently introduced a more athletic and more potent Rolls- Royce Black Badge Ghost into the Nigerian market. The Black Badge is a Rolls-Royce model unleashed with more power, audacity, attitude, fun and sporting characteristics in a stealth manner. It comes with unparalleled luxury, supreme ride comfort, automated everything and suicide doors which are hinged on the rear.
The Rolls-Royce Black Badge is powered by a twin turbo 6.6litre V12 engine that produces 603hp and 840Nm of torque (40hp and 60Nm more than the standard Ghost) with an impressive 0-100kph in 4.5 seconds. It weighs about 2440kg with max speed of 155mph. The mansion on wheels sends power to the ground through an 8 speed GPS guided automatic transmission which adapts to the road and the driver’s driving dynamics by ensuring the car is in the right gear for the road ahead.
According to Mr Tolu Gbadamosi who is the Business/Sales Manager of Rolls-Royce MotorCars Lagos, “The engine found in the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost is a quarter of the engine of the Canadian Bombardier Private Jet”. “This means 4 Black Badge engines make up a Bombardier Jet engine”, he said.
