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 ?

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.
