Ghost Protocol

1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

Ghost Protocol transforms the 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II from a stately luxury sedan into a radical mid-engine endurance prototype hybrid. The heart of the build is a longitudinally mounted hybrid powertrain repositioned behind the rear seats, necessitating a 110mm wheelbase extension and a cabin shift that redefines the car's proportions. This mechanical mutation drives an aggressive silhouette with ultra-wide trapezoidal front box fenders and convex rear arches, merging classic Rolls-Royce lines with Can-Am inspired aerodynamic principles and advanced thermal management.

The widebody shell integrates complex sidepods beneath the doors housing large radiator and intercooler arrays, while the front NACA duct and twin dual-element rear wings mounted on active swan neck pylons emphasize aerodynamic efficiency and downforce. The stance is purpose-built for the track, lowered with race-spec coilovers and wrapped in forged Volk Racing TE37 wheels, 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear, shod with high-performance tires to tame the extended 330mm track width.

1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

The 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II epitomizes understated luxury with its timelessly elegant proportions and presence. As Rolls-Royce’s flagship sedan of its era, it blends classic British craftsmanship with pioneering technical features, including independent rear suspension and advanced power steering for the period. Built on a unibody chassis, the Silver Shadow II offers a supple ride that set the tone for chauffeured luxury, its stately silhouette an icon of refined automotive culture and bespoke bespoke motoring.

Aero Package

Raised hood with central 420x160mm NACA duct for airflow management
Twin dual-element rear wings on active swan neck pylons 600mm above deck
Integrated vertical cooling vents in rear wing endplates
Rear diffuser extending 210mm downward and 180mm rearward

Chassis

Ghost Protocol’s extensive chassis modifications yield a 330mm wider track and lowered stance, optimized for circuit stability and cornering grip. Adjustable race coilover dampers and active suspension geometry refine responsiveness, while aerodynamic enhancements like the twin rear wings and front cooling ducts maintain high-speed balance and brake efficiency under sustained load.

Wheels & Tires

Front: 19-inch forged Volk Racing TE37, 10 inches wide, 275/35ZR19 tires
Rear: 20-inch forged Volk Racing TE37, 12 inches wide, 325/30ZR20 tires
Lowered ride height by 35mm front and rear with adjustable coilovers
Wide 330mm front and rear track gain

Powertrain

Longitudinal mid-mounted hybrid powertrain behind rear seats
Advanced thermal management with sidepod radiator and intercooler arrays
Exhaust routed through rear diffuser sidewalls for heat dissipation
Electronic active damping integrated with double wishbone suspension

Fabrication Notes

Extensive carbon fiber body panels with satin black weave finish
Sidepods formed beneath doors for cooling and aerodynamic flow
Flush bonded panels for smooth aerodynamic surfaces
Active aerodynamic elements mounted on carbon composite structures
