Introduced in 1906, the Rolls Royce 40/50HP was the first model of this legendary factory. The car was painted silver and eerily quiet, fast, and powerful, earning it the nickname Silver Ghost. It was powered by an enormous 7-liter straight-eight engine with 48 HP and loads of torque. The model was in production for 20 years, made the company famous, and created the legendary saying – “60 mph and the loudest noise you hear is the clock ticking,” since its max speed was 60 mph.
