World’s Fastest Rolls-Royce?

• 

We tend to think of a Rolls-Royce as a stately gentleman’s express, but some can be very quick too! This is a Crewe-build 1974 Silver Shadow owned by Matt Wright, who did a transplant of a 588cu (10 litre!) Chevrolet V8, mounted in a custom-made Chrome-Moly twin tube chassis. Suspension and braking system replace the hefty 4775lb weight of the original components and make for one hell of a rapid, rockin’ Roller. Fast enough to run an impressive 7.94 second quarter mile... at 175mph! The Rolls can be seen in action this weekend at the Flame & Thunder event at Santa Pod raceway in the UK.
