SPOFEC Rolls-Royce Ghost

4:30 PM

SPOFEC (short for Spirit of Ecstasy) is a new division of Novitec Group that deals exclusively with the customization of Rolls-Royce vehicles. This highly exquisite Ghost is one of their first creations, and it’s looking pretty good. The next model they are currently working on is the Wraith.

SPOFEC Rolls-Royce Ghost comes not only with visual upgrades, it also features a healthyperformance upgrade in form of SPOFEC N-TRONIC power module which increases the performance of the BMW V12 motor in the Ghost to 685 horsepower and 958 Nm of torque. In the Ghost V-Spec, this module offers 709 hp and 974 Nm. The power kit is complemented with a lightweight stainless steel sport exhaust system.

SPOFEC’s Ghost also gets a bespoke wheel design in size 9,0J x 22J with 265/35 R22 Pirelli for the front axle and 10,5J x 22J with 295/30 R22 tires for the rear. You can have them in silver, matte back, titanium, or two-tone. The wheels look perfect on the car thanks to the Can-Tronic suspension module which results in a lowering of 40 mm.

The biggest highlight of SPOFEC Rolls-Royce Ghost is the body kit it’s rocking, consisting of new front and rear bumpers, side panels, and rear lip spoiler. Novitec designers have deliberately steered cleared of showy elements in order to keep the looks of the Ghost within the limits of coolness and elegance. This is, after all, a Rolls-Royce.

SPOFEC also offers carbon ceramic braking package for the Ghost, but as of yet there is no word on any interior makeover. Not that the Ghost needs it anyway

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II 2014

4:30 PM

Subtle styling and technology tweaks make the Rolls-Royce Ghost a more complete package than ever. Yet with all this technology under the skin, it’s brilliantly simple to use and retains Rolls Royce’s unique old-fashioned flavour. The new Mercedes S-Class is probably more comfortable, and a whole lot cheaper, but then it doesn’t look or feel half as special as the Ghost.

Since launching its ‘entry-level’ saloon in late 2009, Rolls-Royce has sold three Ghosts for every Phantom. As a result it enjoyed its fourth consecutive year of record sales in 2013 and expects to break the 4,000 unit barrier for the first time in 2014. Clearly, this mid-life refresh for the Ghost is crucial to get right.

The design team has resisted the temptation to tinker too heavily with the styling, although new wider and slimmer LED lights and a reshaped front bumper and fenders differentiate it from its predecessor. You’ll need a keen eye to spot that the grille has been raised by 30mm, there are new creases down the centre of the bonnet and the Spirit of Ecstasy is angled forward by a further seven degrees.

2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom Spied

4:30 PM

Rolls-Royce engineers recently started public road trials of a test mule for the next-generation Phantom sedan, which we’re expecting to be launched on the market during 2017, as a 2018 model. The test mule was spotted outside a BMW technical center in Germany and features a few distinguishing features that give away its identity (a test mule hides a new car's mechanicals beneath the body of a current vehicle and is used at the earliest stages of development).

At the front of the vehicle are two new intakes, which suggest a new or upgraded powerplant. This is backed up by the makeshift exhaust system fitted to the car, whose exit pipes extend a couple of centimeters out from the rear bumper. Inside, most of the elements are test units borrowed from the BMW parts bin. However, the round air vents and leather-bound lower center console are new items.

The current Phantom has been on the market since the 2004 model year, making it long overdue for a replacement. This is especially true now that Mercedes-Benz plans to encroach on the ultra-luxury segment with its upcoming S-Class Maybach and Pullman models.

Rolls-Royce Wraith - Car Review -

4:30 PM

In todays car review we will look at the Rolls-Royce Wraith. The Wraith is derived from the Ghost, but it has its own personality. Fitted with a 624-hp version of the Ghost’s V-12, the wheelbase is shortened, and the fastback body is unique. The Wraith is quicker and sportier than the Ghost, with a light touch to the steering and a gently controlled ride. Rolls-Royce tradition abounds, with rear-hinged power doors, the available Starlight headliner, and a wide array of bespoke options that can launch the already-stratospheric base price into high orbit.

There is no way to justify the cost of a roughly $300,000 car, unless, of course, you have $300,000. That’s about where the Wraith will start, significantly higher than the cost of the Bentley Continental GT. But let’s say you want a headliner with 1340 individual fiber-optic lights to simulate the starry firmament, all inserted and trimmed by hand. Well, that’ll be $12,925 more. If you want the Santos Palisander–covered door panels, budget for another $12,500. And maybe none of the five upper-body and 29 lower-body paint color options is to your liking. More money.

In fact, the Rolls folk estimate that a heavily bespoke (they love that word!) Wraith will add about 30 percent to the cost of the car. But, hey, it’s pretty much as close as even very rich people will get to a true coachbuilt vehicle in the modern car world.
