COACHBUILD ROLLS-ROYCE BY NIELS VAN ROIJ DESIGN

The coachbuilt Rolls-Royce by Niels van Roij Design

Coachbuilding is largely a thing of the past, but through Niels van Roij Design the new renaissance is here. Welcome to the one-off Rolls-Royce Silver Spectre Shooting Brake.

The car was designed to recall the heydays of shooting brakes in the 1930’s. As part of this effort, the model was outfitted with a flowing carbon composite roof and a unique greenhouse that sports a satin silver surround.

The interior largely carries over from the Wraith, but the Silver Spectre has a unique “Infinity Starlight” headliner that houses nearly 2,000 lights. Of course, the most noticeable change is the spacious cargo compartment that is leather lined and has a hidden storage area beneath the floor.

Rolls-Royce V12

Power comes from a twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 that has been upgraded to produce 690 hp (515 kW / 700 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. This could enable the model to be faster than the Wraith, which could run from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.4 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
