- Bisimoto's SilvEV Ghost is a 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow resprayed in Chalk White and converted to run on a custom 600 hp, 400V liquid-cooled electric motor with an 18,500 rpm redline.
- An AEM VCU275 controller running custom Bisimoto-tuned software manages the dual Bisimoto Battery boxes, which pack 70 kWh of LG Chem li-ion cells and recharge via a CCS connector.
- A CSF GT3 center radiator sits behind the Silver Shadow's iconic grille, feeding compact dual-pass coolers for the inverter, motor, and battery packs, while an Antigravity ATX-30HD 12V battery handles accessory loads.
- Airride Equipment air-bag suspension drops the Roller over Brixton forged alloys wrapped in Toyo Proxes high-performance tires.
- SOS Customz handled the leather and Alcantara interior, topped by a bespoke wooden steering wheel and SpeedHut CAN EV gauges.
- The SilvEV Ghost first appeared in 2024 at the Toyo Tires booth and resurfaced this week at Exotics on Broadway; its next stop is the Shutterspace car show later this month in Irvine, California.
Why it matters: A pre-BMW-era Roller — the marque's most beloved generation among purists — being electrified at 600 hp shows the restomod market now treats luxury cruisers as legitimate EV conversion candidates, not just Porsleys and muscle cars. The 70 kWh pack and CCS charging suggest real daily usability, not just a show pony, which could pull more heritage-luxury owners toward swaps.
