Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow reaches 60 mph in 11.06 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.26 s, tripping the lights at 77.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.16 s and the eighth mile in 11.95 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Silver Shadow

The 1968 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,061 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 96 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.16 s. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,916th quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 8 Rolls-Royces here. Its 77.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
