Vehicle Specifics
Description
The 1973 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1, a luxurious and iconic sedan, was a significant departure from its predecessor, the Silver Cloud, featuring a monocoque design, independent rear suspension, and disc brakes, with a 6.75-liter V8 engine.
The Silver Shadow was the first Rolls-Royce to utilize a monocoque chassis, which allowed for a more efficient use of space and a stiffer, more robust structure.
Independent Rear Suspension:
Unlike previous Rolls-Royce models with a live rear axle, the Silver Shadow featured independent rear suspension, improving ride quality and handling.
Disc Brakes:
Disc brakes were a major upgrade from the drum brakes of the Silver Cloud, providing better stopping power and control.
6.75-liter V8 Engine:
The Silver Shadow was powered by a smooth and powerful 6.75-liter V8 engine.
GM 400 Series Automatic Transmission:
The car featured GM's 400 series automatic gearbox.
Design:
The John Polwhele Blatchley design was a major departure from the Silver Cloud, with a narrower and shorter body, but increased passenger and luggage space.
Other Notable Aspects:
Original Intended Name:
The Silver Shadow was originally intended to be called Rolls-Royce Silver Mist, but was changed to Silver Shadow at the last minute because "Mist" meant "manure" or "crap" in German.
Market Success:
The Silver Shadow was a commercial success, addressing concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation.
Modernizations:
The Silver Shadow was designed with several modernizations in response to concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation.
