As a general rule we don’t like any attempt to modify Rolls-Royce cars for obvious reasons. Bodykits? Hell no. Aftermarket wheels? Forget about it. That said, we are finding ourselves strangely attracted to this ARES Performance Rolls-Royce Wraith. Somehow they’ve got the details just right with this one.

Yes, ARES Performance Rolls-Royce Wraith does feature a body kit, and it is still morally the wrong thing to do. But we have to admit, when it works, it works. The new bumpers, side skirts and rear diffuser ARES has designed for this Roller they all look pretty good. OK, that diffuser is a bit weird, but we’re so digging that front grille!

The styling package on this car is complemented with a set of ARES wheels available in 22 or 23 inch variants, and special paint jobs like that textured silver you see above. The interior mods are brilliant too as they manage to make the Wraith even more luxurious. We still don’t like that flat-topped steering wheel ARES uses in all of their cars, but the blend of leather, wood, carbon fiber and Alcantara is just perfect.

There are two stages of performance upgrade available for the ARES Performance Rolls-Royce Wraith. Stage 1 will boost the output of the car’s V12 engine from 620 to 700 horsepower, while the Stage 2 is good for a full 800 horsepower and a top speed of over 300 km/h.
