It's possible that Charles Rolls and Henry Royce may not have approved of this kind of behaviour. It's an oft-cited cliché that 'at 60mph, the loudest noise in the Rolls Royce comes from the electric clock'. In the words of WG Racing, 'we're going to need a louder clock...'
This '74 Silver Shadow, built by WG Racing and Fester Race Cars, is somewhat different to how it left the production line. The chassis has been junked in favour of a lighter, stronger spaceframe, while the engine is a 9.6-litre twin-turbo Chevrolet V8 offering over 2300bhp; it'll accelerate from 0-200mph in 6.9 seconds, covering the quarter-mile in 7.94s. Which is mind-boggling, frankly.
Oh yeah, and it's road-legal too.
