Rolls-Royce celebrated the recent total solar eclipse with a special version of the Ghost created by its Bespoke Design team. Dubbed the Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis Private Collection, the latest special Rolls-Royce is capped at just 25 units globally, of which just five have been delivered in North America.
The limited-run model was first presented by Rolls-Royce back in October last year. It served as the highlight for a recent total solar eclipse viewing event hosted by the British marque in Niagara, Ontario, Canada.

Making the Ghost Ekleipsis Private Collection stand out from a regular Ghost is the Lyrical Copper exterior paint, which includes a powdered copper pigment that shimmers when it catches the light. Rolls-Royce has also finished some components in Mandarin, including elements below the Pantheon Grille and the brake calipers. The car also features the same hue of Mandarin for a hand-painted coachline running down both sides.
Other special touches have been made to the car’s interior, including a Bespoke Starlight Headliner with a special animation mimicking the shape of a total solar eclipse. Additionally, the car includes an illuminated dashboard fascia with 1,846 laser-etched stars representing a timeline of a total solar eclipse. There is also a 0.5-carat diamond.
The special Ghost was presented alongside the new Spectre at the event in Ontario.
Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis
“The creative concept for Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis is drawn from the impressive natural show of a total solar eclipse; a unique occasion in nature, which underpins the rarity and visual impact of a Rolls-Royce Private Collection,” Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America chief executive Martin Fritsches said. “Our Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers and craftspeople in Goodwood have captured the magic of this celestial alignment in a truly stunning Rolls-Royce interpretation. Our event at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, celebrates this magnificent phenomenon.”
