White-As-Fluff '61 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II by Ringbrothers Comes to SEMA With LT4 V8

Meet the Paramount, a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, which is said to have been "engineered from the ground up" to "embody the quality and coachwork Ringbrothers is known for."

It features a Roadster Shop chassis with two-piece clamshell control arms made by Ringbrothers and custom 10-gauge steel boxed frame rails. It has Fox RS SV coilovers at both axles, a Roadster Shop Ride Line front suspension, and a Fast Link parallel four-bar rear suspension.

Popping the hood open will reveal the icing on the cake, which is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The LT4 engine produces 640 hp (649 ps/477 kW) and 635 lb-ft (861 Nm) of torque, working in concert with a Bowler Tru-Street ten-speed automatic transmission and a custom QA1 driveshaft made of carbon fiber. No performance times were announced, but it's obvious that this Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II can take a swing at real supercars.

Besides taking care of the oily bits, Ringbrothers usually modifies the exterior design of its projects with an aggressive twist. However, in this case, the car retains the original bodywork that was stripped to bare metal, and all its imperfections were corrected. It has a BASF Glasurit 'White as Fluff' paint finish and rides on 7x18-inch front and 8x18-inch rear wheels shod in Falken Azenis tires. The EVOD Industries wheels feature gyro center caps to keep the logo upright at all times.

The cockpit of this custom build is just as beautiful, imposing, simple, and elegant as the exterior, with the tuner retaining the original aspects and bringing out the shine in them. The dashboard was laced with machined billet switchgear, and the instrumentation is said to offer "old-world charm with new-world metrics." The car features custom floor pans, rear picnic tables, a deleted divider, and a bespoke starlight headliner with over 1,000 LEDs hand-sewn into it that illuminates the cabin in blue.

This '61 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II that bears the signature of Ringbrothers truly is an out-of-this-world project that deserves to sit under the spotlight and enjoy its 15 minutes of fame. We hope we'll get to see more of it in the near future, next to other exciting projects signed by this company that are also on display at the 2023 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, which will close its gates on November 3. For now, though, we will have to settle for the images shared above and the video embedded below.
