2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge | Ecstasy in the shadows:
Every now and again, something hits my driveway that absolutely stumps me.
Put another way, Black Badge is a performance package that happens to cost more than some performance cars. Welcome to tier 0 of car ownership. That’s a hollow greeting, of course. Rolls-Royce sold a grand total of 5,586 motor cars in 2021, and not one of them is among my permanent collection. You’re shocked, I know. Statistically, we’re quite likely to be in the same boat. I’m living vicariously through the Rolls-Royce marketing budget and you’re living vicariously through me. Too bad.
But due in no small part to Rolls-Royce’s foresight, it turned out that I really needn’t be worried despite nearly a foot of fresh snow falling in some parts of the norther ‘burbs. Bolstering the Ghost’s standard all-wheel drive was a set of winter wheels and tires replacing the ostentatious carbon-fiber wheels that are normally fitted to a Black Badge. And as more than a few cocky SUV and truck owners learned, this combo was more than a match for rural Michigan’s finest ruts and gravel.
The Ghost is long and heavy but it proved surprisingly nimble and sure-footed even on these snow-packed surfaces. F-150s and Grand Cherokees would appear in my mirrors as the road straightened only to vanish at every turn. They’d re-appear later, obviously attempting to keep pace. Later, a group of teenagers in a side-by-side adorned with snow shovels stalked the Ghost through a lakeside neighborhood, likely hoping to extract a Rolls-Royce-sized bounty should I find myself in too deep.
