Originally this vintage Silver Shadow featured a 189 hp 6.75-liter V8. Now that 6.75-liter V8 has been swapped out for a 592 Hemi that has dual-stage nitrous system. Total power output is at 1040 hp.
Chrome engine that pops out the hood is definetely not your ordinary Rolls. But the inside with a roll cage covered with leather looks very classy.
The car also has a roll cage that is covered with the same leather as rest of the interior. I must say that the inside looks very classy.
