Default 1040-hp Hemi-powered Rolls-Royce.
1040-hp Hemi-powered Rolls-Royce.


This vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow has had its "ordinary" 6.75-liter V8 swapped out for a 592 Hemi, complete with dual-stage nitrous system for a reported output of over 1,000 horsepower. The chrome engine popping out of the hood might not be the average Rolls buyer's cup of tea, as it detracts from the usually-dominant classic grille, but the leather-covered roll cage is pure class.

Geez, what a machine.
Looks tough as nails, whilst still looking sleak and classy.
Never been much of a fan of the old rolls royce but damn that is nice.

From the US I take it ?

Yeah, I sussed out that it was at SEMA when I did a search on the car.
At first I thought it might have been photoshopped until I saw that it was there.

Lets hear what you thought of it......and photos too please!

Exactly! Why the hell not. Looks tough. Class with balls of steel. I'd be upset if somebody did that to a Mercedes Gullwing, but to do that to a Rolls should upset the purists in all the right ways.
