The premise

A whisper with a thunderous point.

The first time someone rides in this car, they reach for a sound that isn’t there. No idle. No rumble. Just 600 horsepower waiting behind a chalk-white grille.

This genuine 1974 Silver Shadow—the model that defined an era of understated Rolls-Royce luxury—was reborn as Bisimoto’s fully electric build, nicknamed the SilvEV Ghost around the shop. It remains a Silver Shadow through and through, not the modern Ghost model.

The build began with an offhand challenge from Jay Leno, after he drove Bisimoto’s electrified Porsche 935 K3V on Jay Leno’s Garage: “You should build an electric Rolls-Royce.” Bisimoto answered.

Performance, without compromise

The numbers
tell the story.

Every figure belongs to a real, driveable electric conversion—not an exercise in marketing math.

Respectful rebellion

Old-world presence.
New-world power.

The Silver Shadow wasn’t chosen because it needed fixing. It was chosen because it deserved to keep going. Its formal roofline, wafting ride, and sense of occasion remain; every part that moves it from the ground up was rethought.

The cabin

The argument is settled inside.

A SOS Customz leather-and-Alcantara interior is paired with a bespoke wooden steering wheel that bridges old-world hand-fitting and new-world grip. SpeedHut CAN-integrated EV gauges make battery state, power delivery, and system health visible in a 1974 dashboard without disturbing its character.

“Nothing here feels retrofitted. It feels resolved.”

History deserves
a second life.

Bisimoto builds bespoke EV conversions for collectors, owners, and OEMs who want to preserve what a classic represents—while completely rewriting what it can do.
