The very famous Silver Shadow will be reborn at Rolls-Royce. The English manufacturer will call its first electric car "Silent Shadow", in reference to its former glory.
Unlike other prestige brands, Rolls-Royce sees absolutely no constraints on the adoption of electric mobility. For the simple and good reason that a "Rolls" must be as quiet as possible, and the absence of a combustion engine is a perfect solution.
Rolls-Royce, which is working on a new generation of vehicles after the launch of the last Phantom, has confirmed that its first electric will see the light of day by the middle of the decade, and will take the name of Silent Shadow, in reference to the Silver Shadow, one of its former flagship models.
Remember that Rolls-Royce had already started to talk about an electric future with its 103EX concept, in 2016 at the time of BMW's centenary.
This electric Rolls-Royce should take over the base of the future BMW i7, unlike the thermal models which are on the "Architecture of Luxury" platform, specific to Rolls-Royce and different from that of the BMW 7 Series.
