The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Gamer: Translating Arcade Culture Into Automotive Craft - Yanko Design
"Salamanca Blue covers the lower body, Crystal-over-Diamond Black the upper sections. The coachline features hand-painted "Cheeky Alien" motifs, each composed of 89 individual pixels measuring one-eighth inch square. One side shows a green alien with a pink 8-bit explosion, the other displays yellow and blue variations. Each pixel requires exact placement and consistent paint application to maintain the digital aesthetic at automotive scale."
"Black and Casden Tan leather seats feature embroidery reading "Player 1" through "Player 4" in 8-bit font. Each headrest displays a "Cheeky Alien" composed of 89 embroidered pixels in vivid thread colors mimicking vintage CRT monitors. The Waterfall between rear seats features hand-painted arcade artwork requiring over two weeks of execution. Two stainless steel flying saucers hover above a lunar landscape, rendered through brushwork, sponge techniques, and airbrushing."
"A metal inlay decorates the rear picnic table. An engraved 8-bit motif hides on the concealed side of the front black-chrome air vent. The Bespoke Illuminated Treadplates display arcade prompts: "PRESS START," "LOADING...," "LEVEL UP," and "INSERT COIN." The "Pixel Blaster" Starlight Headliner features 80 bitmapped battlecruisers formed from individually placed fiber-optic lights. Rolls-Royce's Shooting Star effect receives custom programming to simulate laser fire pulsing across the headliner."
Rolls-Royce produced a Black Badge Ghost Gamer one-off that applies 8-bit arcade imagery across exterior and interior surfaces. Salamanca Blue and Crystal-over-Diamond Black define the two-tone body while a coachline displays hand-painted "Cheeky Alien" motifs made from 89 one-eighth-inch pixels each. Black and Casden Tan leather seats carry "Player 1" through "Player 4" 8-bit embroidery and matching alien headrests. A hand-painted Waterfall depicts flying saucers over a lunar landscape, executed with brushwork, sponge techniques, and airbrushing. Metal inlays, hidden engraved motifs, and illuminated treadplates echo arcade prompts. A custom "Pixel Blaster" fiber-optic headliner programs 80 bitmapped battlecruisers and simulated laser fire.
