GERMAN tuner SPOFEC (which stands for Spirit of Ecstasy) has introduced the Black One, a tuning programme for the Rolls- Royce Ghost Series II. Said programme features black paintwork and the original chrome bits refinished in matte black. The 22-inch wheels (one size larger than the stock rims) come in matte gold, but clien ts can also specify their preferred colour finish. For enhanced handling and a meaner stance, there is a suspension module that lowers the ride height by 40mm. Meanwhile, downforce is increased by the carbon fibre aerodynamic components consisting of a new front and DARK SPECTRE rear bumper, along with a subtle boot lid spoiler.

To improve the Ghost’s “wafting” performance, the SPOFEC N-TRONIC upgrade boosts engine output from 563bhp and 780Nm to 685bhp and 958Nm. For the range-topping Ghost Series II V-Specification, the gains are even greater – power rises from 593bhp and 780Nm to 709bhp and 974Nm. This supposedly enables the uberluxurious limo to zip from rest to 100km/h in 4.4 seconds, or half a second quicker than the standard car.
