Well Rolls-Royce did, because it decided to mark the occasion by creating 25 very special editions of the already exclusive Black Badge Ghost called the \u2018\u00c9kleipsis Private Collection\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>And before you even think about it, every single one of them has already been allocated to some of the luxury carmaker\u2019s favourite clients around the world. It\u2019s probably why Rolls-Royce didn\u2019t bother revealing the price of the \u00c9kleipsis, though we expect it was well in excess of the \u00a3270,000+ you\u2019d ordinarily pay for a Black Badge Ghost.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--HvYRqzjG--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1690202583\/autoexpress\/2023\/07\/Best%20luxury%20cars%20-%20July%202023%20header.jpg\">Top 10 best luxury cars to buy 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rolls-Royce doesn\u2019t mess around when it comes to its limited edition models. Even the Lyrical Copper paint colour is unique for the \u00c9kleipsis, and incorporates powdered copper pigment that makes the paint appear darker until it catches the light. It\u2019s complemented by mandarin orange accents below the Pantheon Grille, on the brake calipers and for the hand-painted coachline that runs down the side of the 5.4-metre long luxury limousine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The same bright orange hue can be found in the cabin, with even the umbrellas concealed in the Ghost\u2019s coach doors featuring mandarin piping. The \u00c9kleipsis bi-coloured seats feature \u2018unique perforated artwork\u2019, with more mandarin orange revealed beneath the black surface layer by over 200,000 individual perforations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no orange in the timepiece on the dashboard, but Rolls-Royce did add a 0.5-carat diamond to the bezel of the one in \u00c9kleipsis \u2013 a first for the company. It\u2019s meant to recall the \u2018diamond ring\u2019 effect that occurs just before, and immediately after, the moon obscures the sun during a total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--j5f1DTmy--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1697138261\/autoexpress\/2023\/10\/Rolls-Royce%20Black%20Badge%20Ghost%20%C3%89kleipsis%202023-12.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Those all seem like small details compared to the car\u2019s bespoke Starlight Headliner, which includes a special animation that took an entire year to develop. Once the doors are closed and the engine starts, the \u2018stars\u2019 in the headliner darken to replicate the moon completely blocking the light from the sun. Then a 940 of the \u2018stars\u2019 form a circle, to recreate the sun\u2019s corona that\u2019s only visible to the naked eye during a total solar eclipse, with an additional 192 \u2018stars\u2019 illuminating to represent the stars and planets not normally visible in daylight, except during an eclipse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough attention to detail, the duration of the sequence \u2013 seven minutes and 31 seconds \u2013 is in fact the longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse. After that the full constellation of \u2018stars\u2019 in the headliner is restored. It requires 1,846 to pull off the animation, with one person given the responsibility during each \u00c9kleipsis\u2019s production to adjust the size and position of each one &#8211; a process which took over 100 hours alone to complete.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How much is your car worth?
