Performance and Engine Enhancements
The centrepiece is a plug-and-play module for the Wraith’s 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12. Novitec claims an increase of 84hp and 186Nm over the standard car, for totals of 707hp and 986Nm. The result is a 0–100km/h time of 4.2 seconds, despite the car’s size and weight. Top speed remains electronically limited to 250km/h.
Aerodynamic and Visual Upgrades
Accompanying the power upgrade is a new aerodynamic package, including a redesigned front bumper, air extractors behind the wheel arches, new rocker panels and a subtle rear spoiler. All components are designed to fit the Wraith’s proportions and can be finished to match or contrast with the car’s paintwork. The kit is intended to enhance stability at speed as well as visual presence.
- Redesigned front bumper for improved airflow
- Air extractors behind wheel arches
- New rocker panels
- Subtle rear spoiler for added stability
Chassis and Braking Upgrades
Novitec has fitted an air suspension module that lowers the Wraith’s ride height by up to 40mm at speeds below 140km/h, returning to standard height at higher speeds. The package also includes a high-performance carbon-ceramic braking system and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli tyres, aiming to sharpen response without compromising comfort. The overall approach is to add dynamic capability while retaining the car’s grand touring character.
Market Position and Appeal
Novitec’s Wraith package follows on from its work with the Ghost, offering owners of Rolls-Royce’s coupé a more assertive alternative to the factory specification. While the company has not announced pricing, the upgrades are expected to appeal to buyers seeking individuality and extra performance from a car already near the top of the luxury market.
