Evice, the Surrey-based specialist in heritage remastering, is rewriting the rulebook on classic luxury. By sympathetically modernising iconic Rolls-Royce models like the Corniche and Silver Shadow, the firm is blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology to craft bespoke masterpieces without compromise.
The Journey Begins: XP1 Prototype Undergoes Rigorous Testing
The first prototype, known as XP1, marks a significant milestone for Evice. This remastered Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is powered by an in-house-developed 800-volt electric powertrain, boasting 400 horsepower and a range exceeding 200 miles, courtesy of its 77 kWh battery. Extensive testing is now underway, ensuring that the XP1 meets the highest standards of performance, reliability, and refinement.
Looking ahead, production of VP1, the next phase of Evice’s evolution, is set to commence in early 2025. The first customer commission is expected to be delivered by Spring 2026, heralding a new era for classic Rolls-Royce enthusiasts.
A Vision of Perfection
Founded in 2023 by three passionate British engineers, Evice’s mission is clear: to honour the spirit and grace of Rolls-Royce icons by reimagining them with world-class technology and craftsmanship. Their approach is rooted in deep respect for the original designs, ensuring every enhancement aligns with the period’s culture and Rolls-Royce’s storied ethos.
“An Evice Rolls-Royce is what the factory would have created 60 years ago, had the technology existed,” says Matthew Pearson, CEO of Evice. “Our work is about reimagining timeless elegance, combining classic design with modern refinement, performance, and reliability.”
Bespoke Craftsmanship Meets Modern Innovation
Evice’s team of craftsmen, engineers, and designers meticulously evaluate every aspect of the vehicle, from powertrain and dynamics to NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) and interior design. Each change is painstakingly analysed to maintain the original vehicle’s distinguished character while introducing modern conveniences.
Inside, the upgrades are as meticulous as they are transformative. Heated and ventilated electrically adjustable seats, a state-of-the-art air-conditioning system, and a premium audio setup with a discreet subwoofer come as standard. Infotainment screens with wireless Apple CarPlay, hidden reversing cameras, and full climate control seamlessly integrate modern comfort into the classic aesthetic.
The Drive of the Future
Dynamic enhancements extend beyond the cabin. Active suspension and upgraded brakes ensure a composed, effortless drive while preserving the signature “cloud-like” ride Rolls-Royce is famed for. The 800-volt architecture delivers power with grace, offering a driving experience that eclipses the original engine’s performance.
A Testament to Passion and Dedication
Each hand-built Evice Rolls-Royce represents thousands of hours of development and an unwavering commitment to perfection. From the bespoke design process to the final product, every car is a unique embodiment of the client’s vision and the culmination of Evice’s expertise.
Evice’s remastered Rolls-Royce models aren’t just cars—they’re automotive art, designed to stand the test of time while offering a seamless blend of classic style and modern innovation. As the company continues its journey, it’s clear that Evice is setting a new standard in the world of heritage remastering.
