Modifying a Rolls-Royce could be considered a cardinal sin for some, but Novitec’s Spofec division has just proven that it can be done tastefully. Spofec specializes exclusively in modifying the ultra-luxury British brand’s creations, and its latest release is for the Ghost Series II, giving Goodwood’s smallest sedan a big boost in power and some subtle aesthetic tweaks. Equipped as standard with a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine developing 563 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, the facelifted Ghost is far from slow, but Novitec still decided to massage the power plant to the tune of 696 hp and 739 lb-ft of torque. As a result, the company has shaved half a second from the 0-62 mph sprint (4.8 seconds as standard), though the top speed remains unchanged at 155 mph “to protect the tires.”
Elegant Aesthetic Upgrades
Along with an optional Spofec stainless steel exhaust with active butterfly valves to give the massive V12 more presence, Novitec also offers “OEM quality” aerodynamic enhancements, starting with a whole new front fascia with larger air intakes and vertical LED running lights. Novitec claims that this reduces front axle lift at high speeds, while the trunk lid spoiler balances the slightly more aggressive look. The rear fascia is also new and can be had with or without cutouts for the exhaust tips, and Spofec rocker panels complete the transformation. They also make the car look a little lower, but those who want a physically lower stance can also opt for a suspension kit that drops the car by around 35 millimeters all around.

Filling the arches are a set of 22-inch Spofec SP4 forged alloy wheels developed in collaboration with Vossen. These measure 9.5 inches wide at the front and 10.5 inches wide at the rear and are wrapped in 255/35 and 285/30 tires, respectively. For those who haven’t depleted their trust funds just yet, the tuner also offers interior upgrades, though it doesn’t say what these are.
Novitec Has Form Modifying Rolls-Royces
This isn’t the first Rolls upgraded by Novitec’s Spofec division. Back in August, the German tuner known for its work on Ferraris of various descriptions turned its attention to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a widebody kit and similar performance enhancements, and last month, it added carbon fiber body panels and custom Vossen wheels to the all-electric Spectre. With this Ghost Series II, Spofec seems to have found a groove for its builds that is far from offensive, though the black paint admittedly helps these tuned Rolls-Royces look sleeker than they otherwise might. As for pricing, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
