Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 6.8 AT Specs — Third Generation
The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 6.8 AT is a rear-driven saloon, and the path its power takes from engine to road is worth setting out before the individual figures are read.

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
208 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
RWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
104.14 × 99.06 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
6750 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
4
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
218 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
160 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
9
Maximum power rpm
4200 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
440 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1450 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
11.1 s
Engine power system
Central injection (single-point or single- point)
Number of cylinders
8
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
With rear-wheel drive, the automatic gearbox sits behind the engine and sends torque rearward through a propshaft to a final drive, which turns it across to the rear wheels. The torque converter allows the engine to keep running when the car is stationary.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Which wheels are driven determines how power reaches the road, not how the car stops: braking is handled by the brakes at all four corners, and the distance depends on their specification, tyres and mass rather than the automatic drivetrain.
Body and Practicality
Saloon describes a separate boot behind the cabin, not how high its floor sits. That height follows from the rear suspension layout, the exhaust and fuel tank routed beneath, and any spare wheel well, so it varies between saloons.
