Meet Rolls-Royce's new masterpiece, the Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow

KUALA LUMPUR: The stunning blue beauty you see above is Rolls-Royce's latest masterpiece, called the Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow. The new RR model is inspired by the Kármán Line; the mysterious invisible boundary 62 miles above the Earth’s surface, where outer space begins.

Upon revealing this unique rendition, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, “With Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow, we venture to the fabled Kármán Line, where the constraints of Earth give way to the infinite freedom of outer space: a zone of incomparable beauty, mystery and boundless possibility. 

“In creating Blue Shadow, the Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers and craftspeople captured this spirit by embarking on their own voyage of discovery, once again pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship. Blue Shadow is a testament to our relentless pursuit of perfection and a celebration of the spirit of exploration, designed for the unique individuals who expand horizons and represent the very best of human endeavour,” he added.

Here are the key highlights of the new Rolls Royce Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow -

Exterior

The car features a special 'Stardust Blue' exterior colour tone resembling the deep blue colour of the Earth's upper atmosphere. On the front lies a satin-tinted grille surround and aero bumper insert sets. These are complemented by a stunning Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, which is created with 3D printing techniques in titanium and sports a blue-tinted lacquer finish. 

On the base of the emblem, the Black Badge infinity logo and 'Blue Shadow' Private Collection name are engraved on Charles Blue. Further accentuating the overall aesthetics are darkened wheels featuring a translucent glaze.

Interior

The key detailings of the elevated cabin are - 

• A colour-changing dashboard and door panels (black to blue to white) presenting the ethereal blue halo of Earth's atmosphere at the Kármán line

• A bespoke clock on the dashboard with light blue anodised details and 'Blue Shadow' engraving
• A textured Starlight Headliner with 799 white and 384 blue LEDs depicting the Moon and its craters

• Perforated artwork design on front and rear seats resembling clouds with over 75,000 perforations per seat
• The perforation pattern on the picnic tables at the back, boasting a Piano Black veneer and glass sparkle finish

The bespoke Blue Shadow is powered by a 6.7-litre, twin-turbo, V12 engine which delivers a maximum power of 563 hp and a peak torque of 850 Nm. The power is sent to the wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

Bespoke accessories

Roll Royce offers a variety of bespoke accessories with the Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow. Some of which are - 

• An exclusive indoor car cover that matches the pattern of the seats
