The Bespoke Collective of the House of Rolls-Royce has conceived a darker version of Black Badge Wraith and Dawn, named Adamas. The limited collection celebrates the darker side of contemporary craftsmanship, weaving a dark aesthetic of carbon structures into just 40 Black Badge Wraiths and 30 Black Badge Dawns.
Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, commented “Adamas is a collection that fuses the extraordinary competence of our Bespoke craftspeople from the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex, with the rebellious spirit of Black Badge. The result is a motor car for those who seek more than the definitive of engineered luxury conveyance. This is a motor car for the risk-taker who is not afraid to embrace a bold and progressive statement of true and modern luxury, in its darkest form.”
Adamas’ figure is engineered from 294 layers of aerospace grade carbon fibre, which takes 68 hours to produce with a technical weave angle of precisely 25 degrees. It confidently resides on a specially created titanium base, vapour blasted to adopt a darkened aesthetic, bearing the words ‘BLACK BADGE ADAMAS’, and the infinity logo.
Dark colors envelop the body in an Aphrodite Red over Black and Morpheus Blue over Black two-tone respectively. These are the first two-tone Black Badge cars. These colours, as though touched by darkness, have a deep colour transition, providing an iridescent effect. Patrons are able to specify their chosen Adamas in either colourway.
Below, black grille vanes are added to the already darkened grille surround of Black Badge, underlying the sinister, untameable nature of Adamas.
Stepping inside, one’s eye is drawn to the clock, encrusted with black diamonds. Harnessing the carbon structure in its most explicit form, 88 laboratory-grown diamonds form the Black
