This is Slay Poupon, a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with a Hellcat engine created by the Hoonigan team.
This weird beast looks like any other 1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, except it uses a Hellcat engine.
It makes over 900 horsepower, and it also makes the Rolls-Royce slightly less sophisticated but definitely more brutal.
It’s certainly a lot faster, though.

How Hoonigan created Slay Poupon, a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with a Hellcat engine
Hoonigan was created by the late rally legend Ken Block.
They specialize in unorthodox creations, and it shows.
Among other things, they helped with Ken Block’s Audi as well the 911 that Ken Block’s daughter Lia used for a race.
This Hellcat-powered Rolls-Royce is cut from the same cloth as those cars.
Slay Poupon – a half reference to a series of TV commercials from the 1980s – uses a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8.
As standard, this engine would produce 700 horsepower, but the Hoonigan team replaced the factory supercharger with a Magnuson one, and the car now delivers 900 horsepower.
Even though the Rolls-Royce looks (vaguely) normal from the outside, the interior was completely overhauled.
They did it to make the car a bit lighter, but also because the new engine required a totally new transmission as well, which means they had to redo the center console, which in turn also impacted the dashboard layout.
When Rolls-Royce vehicles become…something else
This is probably one of the wildest vehicles based on a Rolls-Royce we’ve seen.
But maybe not the wildest in absolute terms.
A while back, a tuning company built a heavily modifed Rolls-Royce Phantom with six wheels.
On another occasion, a carpenter-turned-YouTuber built an equivalent Rolls-Royce, also with six wheels, but this one is made entirely out of wood.
It looks fake, almost like a giant toy, but it isn’t.
It’s an actual car, with wheels and engine, and it drives.
Imagine that.
