120 years ago, Charles Rolls raced the Rolls-Royce Light 20 H.P. to victory at the 1906 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. The company is now celebrating that milestone by unveiling the Ghost Black Badge Tourist Trophy.
Drawing inspiration from the original race car, the model has a Dark Emerald exterior with a contrasting Tan coachline. The latter incorporates an Arctic White accent revealing the number 4 on the front fenders. It references Rolls’ starting position as well as the four laps he completed in four hours and six minutes.

Bigger changes occur inside, which features a mix of Black and Tan leather. They’re accompanied by Black Badge Technical Fibre as well as Tan contrast stitching and piping.
The ultra-luxury sedan also incorporates Mocassin lambswool as well as an embroidered outline of the Isle of Man Short Highroads Course. The latter is located between the rear seats and is stitched in white.
The special touches don’t end there as the Ghost has unique air vents with engraved details referencing the race car. This includes its AX157 registration number, the 26350B chassis number, race date, and finish line coordinates. The chassis number can also be found on the illuminated sill plates, which note the car is a “Homage to Chassis No. 26350B.”
We can also see silver signatures and messages on the trim, although Rolls-Royce didn’t mention them or explain their significance. However, the company did note this is a “bespoke commission,” so it’s presumably one of one.
Regardless, the Black Badge Ghost features a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V12 engine producing 591 hp (441 kW / 600 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system.
