Rolls-Royce has revealed a one-off Ghost “Gamer,” a playful, ultra-luxury commission that pays homage to vintage arcade culture with pixel art, 8‑bit motifs, and bespoke cabin theatrics while retaining the mighty V12 performance of the Black Badge Ghost. Finished in Salamanca Blue with Crystal over Diamond Black, it carries a hand-painted coachline interrupted by a 89‑pixel “Cheeky Alien,” and extends the theme inside with Player 1–4 seat tags, pixel fonts, and a dazzling “Pixel Blaster” Starlight Headliner of 80 bitmapped battlecruisers. The dashboard’s “Laser Base” illuminated fascia redraws the Ghost logo into an 85‑dot gunship, while carbon fibre panels host a hand‑painted lunar battle scene with polished steel UFOs—details that reportedly took weeks to execute.
