1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II with a Supercharged LT4 V8

Ringbrothers spent 3400 hours creating “Paramount” by combining the classic stylings from a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and a powerful modern powertrain.

The foundation of the project is a custom Roadster Shop chassis featuring a 56.75-inch track. It uses their Rideline front suspension and four-link rear suspension. Each corner holds a Fox RS SV six-inch coilover and Baer Pro+ six-piston calipers with 15-inch rotors.

At the heart of the project is a supercharged LT4 V8 producing 640 hp and 635 lb-ft. Behind that is a Bowler Tru-Street 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission. A QA1 REV series carbon fiber driveshaft sends power to a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end with 3.73 ratio and 31-spline axles.

Ringbrothers spend a lot of effort working on the body. After getting it laser-straight they cover it with BASF Glasurit “White as Fluff” (VW LB9A) paint. The finishing exterior touch is a set of custom EVOD Industries wheels (18×7, 18×8) with Falken Azenis (235/60, 255/55).

Sean Smith Designs designed the custom interior while Gabe’s Custom Interiors completed it. The driver and passenger sit on a custom bench seat looking up at a 1000 LED “starlight” hand-sewn headliner. Behind the leather wrapped steering wheel is a dash filled with Dakota Digital gauges and controls for a Vintage Air system.
