Rolls-Royce RR4
August 8th, 2008
Rolls-Royce and its design team have been working hard at getting the brand new second range together. The new car is known as the RR4 and is being dubbed the new “baby Rolls”. The plans are to reveal it during the Geneva Auto Show in March of next year.
It is based on a heavily-modified version of the BMW 7-series, the RR4 will offer direct competition to the Bentley Continental. And not just the four-door Flying Spur, either. Although the RR4 will initially appear – in concept form – as a sedan, the platform is expected to spawn additional coupe and convertible body-styles just like its big brother and its targeted competitor.

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Given A 1,000-HP Hemi
July 22nd, 2008
A vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is an amazing car that was built with a 6.75 liter V8 engine. This engine has been removed and in its place is a 592 Hemi with dual stage nitrous system. As many of you can imagine this engine equals a lot of power and this is proven when you realize that it has the ability to push out 1,000 horsepower.
The chrome engine popping out of the hood is a bit out of place when it comes to a Rolls-Royce - but it still manages to blend itself in. The rest of the car is of course pure elegance and class and the added power just makes it more desirable.
