World’s Fastest Rolls-Royce

Normally I try not to put up two like posts (in this case cars) in the same day (unless it's a theme), but I ran across this and thought it was cool enough to post about.

This 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow has been greatly modified to the point that it is said to have 1350hp. The cars engine is a 9.3-liter supercharged V8 with a nitrous injection system (with the nitrous adding a lot to that 1350hp I'm sure).

The car is owned by Florida car enthusiast and it was recently being shown off at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Assoc.) Auto Show. The car also has a custom leather interior, a trunk which has fitted luggage and four TVs.

The modification estimates on how much money it took to get the car to it's current state are around  $300,000.
