In the latest installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the spotlight shines on a meticulously restored 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud by none other than the legendary Ring Brothers. These hot rod maestros have taken this classic beauty to a whole new level, infusing it with a supercharged LS-based LT4 engine churning out a jaw-dropping 640 horsepower. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Big Bear brakes, this Rolls-Royce now boasts not just elegance but also serious power under the hood.
The team's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the restoration, from the flawless paint job to the custom modifications like the Cadillac ATS-V exhaust system for a quiet yet powerful ride. The interior features hydro-dipped panels and a Starlight headliner, adding a touch of modern luxury to the classic design. With electric windows, an adjustable steering column, and a V8 engine, the car strikes a perfect balance between old-world charm and modern reliability.
The one-year build process involved careful modifications to the chassis to accommodate the powerful engine, while still retaining the essence of the original Rolls-Royce. The team's dedication to preserving the car's heritage while enhancing its performance is truly commendable. This Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is a testament to the Ring Brothers' craftsmanship and their ability to blend classic elegance with contemporary power and comfort.
