Bisimoto, the renowned tuning house led by Bisi Ezerioha, has completed its electric conversion of a classic Rolls-Royce Ghost, producing a 600 horsepower sedan that combines old-world luxury with zero-emission performance. The SilvEV Ghost first appeared publicly at the 2024 Toyo Tires booth and has now resurfaced at Exotics on Broadway with a refreshed interior and fresh detailing.
The project represents a growing trend in the automotive aftermarket. High-end restomods that graft modern electric powertrains into classic vehicles appeal to collectors who want heritage styling without combustion engine noise or emissions. Rolls-Royce itself launched the all-electric Ghost in 2021, targeting ultra-luxury buyers. Bisimoto's approach differs fundamentally. The shop preserves the original 1960s-era Roller while retrofitting contemporary battery and motor technology underneath.
Ezerioha built his reputation on meticulous engine builds and performance modifications. The SilvEV Ghost extends that expertise into the EV space at a time when tuners recognize electrification as unavoidable. Bisimoto joins a select group of shops pursuing high-level electric restomod work. Companies like Charge Cars in Britain and Zero Labs in California chase similar concepts with classic vehicles.
The 600 hp output puts the SilvEV Ghost in legitimate performance territory for its class. That power level would make the original Rolls-Royce Ghost, which produced roughly 460 horses, feel dramatically quicker despite carrying the same substantial curb weight. The silent, instant torque delivery characteristic of electric motors suits Rolls-Royce's brand positioning around serene, effortless motion.
The appeal lies at the intersection of nostalgia and sustainability. Collectors gain a us
