Nowadays, no brand is safe from the mix-and-match trend that sees aficionados treating builds like LEGO and this obviously includes contraptions wearing the Spirit Of Ecstasy. Well, the Rolls-Royce we're here to show you has been gifted with an all-American V8.
To be more precise, we're looking at an RR Phantom, which has given up on its British V8 for an LS3. This is no beater, though. Instead, we're looking at a restomod, with the Goodwood machine receiving plenty of attention and a two-tone paint job.
The build isn't quite done yet, as you'll be able to notice in the Instagram posts at the bottom of the page. In fact, one of these brings a brief piece of footage that allows us to listen to the voice of the LS.
Of course, whenever such projects show up, aficionados are split into two main camps. The first believes brands such as Rolls-Royce should never receive anything else than the factory treatment, while the second applaud efforts such as the one we see here. However, one thing is certain, namely that the Roller we have here can't be ignored.
Then again, this Phantom isn't the wackiest RR build we've featured to date. That title has to go to a Silver Shadow that has been given a drift car conversion.
We talked about the contraption back in 2016, with the thing having been raced by Boyzone's Shane Lynch (the aficionado sold the machine meanwhile).
And another important source for heavily modded Goodwood machines comes from the realm of renderings. For instance, we've brought you a pixel play that portrays a Wraith that has been gifted with a full carbon fiber body.
Not that the real world is shy when it comes to taking modern-day Rollers over the top (meet George, alpine skier Jon Olsson's reworked Wraith).
