Spofec Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II with 685 HP

When the Rolls-Royce Phantom was unveiled in 2017, the British car manufacturer did not plan a sports car but a full-sized luxury limousine. However, the German tuner Novitec presented the Spofec Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II, equipped with a special equipment kit that raises the car’s performance to a higher level.

First and most important, the engine. The car is powered by a twin-turbo 6.75L V12 engine with 685 hp (504 kW) and 745 lb-ft (1,010 Nm) of torque. The increase in power is achieved thanks to a plug-and-play control module with injection and ignition maps, as well as a modified turbine pressure control. As a reminder, the standard Phantom has 563 hp (420 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the standard model.

At first glance, the most attention-grabbing are the polished and brushed 24″ SPOFEC SP3 (Vossen) wheels wrapped in 295/30 R24 tires, while other carbon components give a sporty-elegant look. These include a new front fascia, a new spoiler that reduces the lift of the front axle, and a new one-piece panel with a subtle wing on the trunk lid.

The car is equipped with a modified adaptive air suspension that allows it to be lowered by an additional 40 mm compared to the standard model. When the car moves at a speed of more than 140 km/h, the suspension returns to its original level.

Rolls-Royce Spectre passed 2.5 million kilometers of testing

Rolls-Royce Spectre is the first electric car of the British manufacturer, and the company announced that during testing several examples traveled a total of almost 2.5 million kilometers.

This ultra-luxurious EV Coupé is considered by many to be a modern version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith. However, Rolls-Royce does not think so. “It’s not in any way the successor of the Wraith. It’s a different proposition for our clients. It will feel very different, it will look very different. We will go from combustion engines straight into electric when we substitute certain positions in our portfolio, ” and that is the way forward,” said Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes at the beginning of 2022.

Rolls-Royce is proud to say that demand for the Spectre is beyond expectations, so they had to change the plan on the number of examples that will be produced. The first deliveries of the ultra-luxury EV to customers are scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre will be powered by two electric motors with a total power of 585 hp (430 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the 5.45 meter long Coupé to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). With one battery charge, the car has a range of 335 to 640 kilometers.

Rolls-Royce Writh with Blacshot Aerodynamic Kit

A few months ago, Rolls-Royce introduced the limited edition Black Badge Black Arrow, which replaced the Wraith model. Only 12 examples of this model will be produced, and now the British company in cooperation with Prior Design has prepared a Blacshot Aerodynamic Kit for Rolls-Royce Writh models.

The car is finished in black, and is equipped with a new set of rims, front bumper (€4,290.00), front spoiler (€1,399.00), front fenders (€4,390.00), side skirts (€1,799.00), rear bumper with diffusor (€4,290.00) and rear trunk spoiler (€1,179.00).

The interior is covered with a combination of leather and Alcantara in two-tone black and red. The tuner logo adorns the seat backs and the central armrest between the front seats.

The BlackShot fits all versions of the Rolls-Royce Wraith models, but probably won’t include a power boost. The car is still powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbo B12 engine with 623 hp (458 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
