The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the sportiest model of the British premium automotive brand. But Ghost's abilities are still lacking by designers and mechanics from Spofec, a company under the Novitec Group. This brand exclusively perfects the car with the Spirit of Ecstasy logo.

Like the performance division, Spofec developed various customizations for the proud British four-door car. This gives the Ghost more outstanding driving dynamics and an, if not entirely, more luxurious appearance.

Spofec concentrated on the Ghost engine by increasing the output of the twin-turbo twelve-cylinder engine to 685 hp and increasing peak torque to 958 Nm. Compare with the standard version, which produces 571 hp and 850 Nm of torque.

As a result, this premium sedan can cover 0-100 km per hour in just 4.5 seconds. Unfortunately, this sedan is limited in its ability to go up to 250 km per hour for speed enthusiasts.

In addition to an increasingly powerful engine, Spofec gave the Ghost a more athletic design change to compensate for the resulting power. Speech uses carbon bodywork components that combine sporty and elegant styles.

The legs become more muscular with a 22-inch diameter forged wheel developed in collaboration with a rim manufacturer from the United States, Vossen. It measures 9.5Jx22 at the front and 10.5Jx22 at the rear, with tires measuring 265/35 ZR 22 and 295/30 ZR 22.

Spofec also developed an electronic control unit for the engine. This creates a new mapping for injection and ignition, which Spofec has tested many times to increase engine boost.

The increasingly powerful engine feels less if the exhaust sound is not touched. Speech in detail developed a stainless sports exhaust system with actively controlled exhaust flaps. This allows the driver to choose the sound that comes out of the cabin.

Regarding the exterior design, Spofec doesn't change the Ghost's shape too much. The distinctive features of the front are maintained with a large air intake giving a visually striking appearance.

Optionally new aerodynamic-enhancement components also feature LED position markers and a seamless transition to the new Spofec front fender. These fenders have distinctive air ducts behind the wheel arches on both sides.

Speech makes the Ghost look lower and designed to look slim. The rear seems athletic with a new rear spoiler.

The SPOFEC CAN-Tronic suspension module is specially calibrated to work with 22-inch tires. At speeds of up to 140 km/h, the Ghost's air suspension lowers the vehicle by about 40 millimeters compared to the production car. At higher speeds, the vehicle body automatically returns to the standard level.

Spofec offers interior design with detailed personalization in every corner of the Ghost cabin. This is following the spirit of Rolls-Royce, which provides products according to the personality of the owner.

A little story about Novitec, this company is located in Stetten, Bavaria, Germany. It is well known as a tuner company specializing in modifications for Italian car brands such as Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Lamborghini.

His business grew with Novitec Tridente, which explicitly handles Maserati and Spofec cars to handle Roll Royce modifications. The name Spofec itself is a combination of Spirit of Ecstasy.

Their first modification project was present in 2004 by increasing the Ferrari 360 from only 400 hp to 565 hp. The second project is a supercharged Ferrari F430 twin whose power has grown to 707 hp from 636 hp.

Some of the models that have received a Novitec touch are the Ferrari 488, 812, Portofino, 458, F12, and California. Lamborghini models there are Huracan, Aventador, and Urus. Novitec does not leave McLaren behind, such as the Senna, 720S, 600LT, and 570GT models.

Maserati is present in Levante, Ghibli, Quattroporte and MC Stradale models. Rolls Royce, besides Ghost, there are also Cullinan, Phantom, Wraith, and Dawn. Finally, they also developed wings into electric car modifications with Tesla models.
