Inspired by the celestial beauty of a solar eclipse, the exterior of this model is adorned in a deep and enchanting hue known as Lyrical Copper. The color, treated meticulously with a powdered copper pigment technique, dances with an iridescent effect when touched by light.

Mandarin accents are gracing the bumper intakes, hand-painted coachline, center caps, and brake calipers Stepping into the cabin, you're met with a beautiful high-contrast color scheme, a blend of Mandarin and black adorning the perforated leather upholstery of the seats. The dashboard tells the story of a total solar eclipse, portrayed in a labor-intensive display that took over 100 hours of meticulous work.

Adding a touch of luxury is the analog timepiece, featuring a sparkling 0.5-carat diamond set within the bespoke bezel. Further exploring the interior reveals the Starlight Headliner in an animated display. It mirrors the effect of a solar eclipse, unfolding every time the car ignites and the doors close, a sight to behold for exactly 7 minutes and 31 seconds, the maximum duration of a total solar eclipse.

The unveiling of the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis aligns with an upcoming solar eclipse gracing parts of the Western Hemisphere on October 14, a celestial dance echoing the elegance of this opulent automobile.
