1987–1989 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, Silver Spur, Corniche Silver Spur Specs & Performance

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur represented the traditional luxury saloon at its most imposing, combining an extended body with formal styling and a spacious, carefully finished cabin. Its upright grille, long bonnet, and understated detailing conveyed authority without unnecessary ornamentation. Designed around passenger comfort and effortless long-distance travel, it offered a more stately experience than a conventional executive sedan. The model’s appeal rested on its quiet presence and craftsmanship, preserving Rolls-Royce’s classic character while incorporating updated engineering for the late 1990s.

For 1997–1999, the Silver Spur used a turbocharged 6.8-litre V8 producing 296 hp and 371 lb-ft of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sent power to the rear wheels, delivering strong, relaxed performance suited to its substantial size. With a listed top speed of 140 mph, this long-wheelbase saloon combined considerable power with the comfort-focused character expected of a flagship luxury car.
