- Bisimoto unveiled the SilvEV Ghost restomod based on a 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in Chalk White, first shown at Toyo Tires' 2024 booth and refreshed with a new interior and wax coat for Exotics on Broadway
- The 600 hp powertrain runs on a custom 400V liquid-cooled electric motor with an 18,500 rpm redline, drawing from dual Bisimoto Battery boxes carrying LG Chem li-ion cells totaling 70 kWh, charged via a CCS connector
- An AEM VCU275 controller running custom Bisimoto-tuned software manages the flow, while a CSF GT3 center radiator and dual-pass coolers handle thermal management for the inverter, motor, and battery packs
- Airride Equipment air bag suspension drops the Silver Shadow body over Brixton forged alloy wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes high-performance tires, with an Antigravity ATX-30HD 12V battery handling accessories
- The interior features SOS Customz leather and Alcantara trim, a bespoke wooden steering wheel, and SpeedHut CAN EV gauges
- The restomod is scheduled to appear next at Toyo Tires' Shutterspace car show later this month in Irvine, California
Why it matters: Bisimoto — known for high-output electric Porsches — has now applied the same treatment to a pre-BMW 1974 Rolls-Royce, packing 600 hp into a 50-year-old luxury cruiser that originally made roughly a tenth of that. The build signals that prestige restomods are a viable showcase platform for Tier 1 EV component makers (AEM, LG Chem, CSF), with Toyo Tires underwriting two of its public appearances.
