Rolls-Royce has launched a new limited edition of its Black Badge Ghost model. Taking inspiration from the moon aligning with the sun, the Ghost Ekleipsis is a rather striking all-black chariot.

Ready to launch in time for the actual total eclipse taking place on 14 October 2023 in the Western hemisphere, this limited edition Black Badge Ghost has all manner of bright orange accents to create that distinctive corona outline.

Referred to more creatively as ‘Golden Darkness’ (great name for a band, btw), Rolls has even gone so far as to animate its infamous starlight headliner with some 940 ‘stars’ recreating the eclipse with LED lights over a seven-and-a-half-minute window – apparently the longest possible duration of an eclipse.

After the spectacle, another 192 lights create the night sky in the headliner. There’s also 1,846 laser-etched stars in the fancy illuminated fascia. Rolls says it took over 100 hours to complete that dashboard work for this first example.

For those that are into their watches, the dash also features a bespoke timepiece. But of course. The thing is a part of the cabin drama, incorporating a 0.5-carat brilliant cut diamond which has been positioned to reflect light at specific time in the animation of the dash.

Naturally the cushy leather seats in the back and the front are two-tone, black and ‘mandarin’ orange and feature unique artwork with over 200,000 individual perforations.

Of course, these are all merely styling cues. The 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, producing 563bhp, remains. What doesn't remain is... the actual car itself. All 25 examples have already been accounted for. Better look to the sky for your next eclipse. Just don't forget your shades.
