The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow reaches 60 mph in 11.06 s (100 km/h in 11.71 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.

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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,757th quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 23 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.

Questions
What is the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 0-60 time?
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow reaches 60 mph in 11.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,757th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow quarter mile time?
18.26 s at 77.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.95 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.16 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow have?
197 bhp and 2,061 kg, which is 96 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow?
Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Cruze HB5 1.6 124 (10.95 s), Honda Accord CC7 2.0i 131 (11.05 s), Daewoo Leganza 2.2 136 (10.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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.
