Debuting in 1998 alongside it's twin bodied sibling, the Bentley Arnage, the Silver Seraph replaced the long running Silver Spirit. It utilised a 5.4L V12 engine from BMW producing 321 BHP. It was described as having tardy acceleration yet coupled with a smooth ride and a respectable top speed of around 140 MPH.
The turn of the millennium brought around the Silver Knight, a one off special developed entirely in-house by Rolls-Royce themselves. The idea of this car was to envision a factory sleeper variant of the Silver Seraph, a rather unorthodox concept from a big name purebred luxury car manufacturer such as Rolls-Royce.
In an effort to reduce the overall weight and improve performance by a substantial margin, many parts were upgraded and retuned to deliver even better handling and speed. The most notable was the engine, the twin turbos from the Arnage were added and various other adjustments made to deliver a whopping 570 BHP which was enough to propel it from 0-60 in just 5.5 seconds and to an incredible top speed of 190 MPH, a feat that would only be matched by the Maybach 62 a couple of years later and even echoed by the Silver Seraph's future successor, the Ghost.
Although it never made production, the Silver Knight still remains an interesting and curious piece of luxury automotive technical design, proving that such cars can have the sheer grunt to match the modern sports cars of it's day or any day.
Uses Cat's wheel mesh. Writing prompt aside, this is another car I'm happy to finally release, both because of it's uniqueness (in RV, this is debateable for two reasons, I'll let you figure them out) and... I just like it in general. Those wheels were a royal pain in the arse to find, basically the reason I held off releasing this for a long time.
Anyway, there's two versions. Silver Seraph is Semi-Pro and is stock. Silver Knight is Super-Pro and rather fast. It really shouldn't be but I made it a little too powerful. I could change it but... eh, what the hell. This is RV, every car is built on hypotheticals anyway, so I'll leave it as it is.
...And before you ask, no. The Silver Knight doesn't exist in real life, I just made it up for fun and I wanted a Pro version of this car.
This model was originally scratch made for Need for Speed: High Stakes by Ryuji Kainoh.
