Jonathan Ward stopped by Jay Leno’s Garage to show off his company’s newest Derelict. ICON started the project when an Australian customer wanted something to upset Rolls-Royce purists. The team started with a right-hand drive 1958 Roll Royce Silver Cloud and completely transformed it. Under the hood sits a 7.0 L LS7 V8 that makes 550 horsepower going through a 4L85E four-speed automatic transmission. The car rides on a modified Art Morrison chassis with their Sport IFS and four-link rear with Brembo six-piston disc brakes in front and four-piston in rear.

An LS engine.. how boringly predictable.
Should have gone with something more.. dramatic.. like a V12 or W12.
I would have preferred a Hellcat or Hellephant engine myself.
I am with Jay, on this one! THIS is my favorite ICON car, as well! Great job, AGAIN, Jonathan. I love the work you and your team do and as a Detroit native and poor guy, I’d like to see you all do a 23rd series Packard Custom with the same chassis/engine config. I have a donor if you’re interested. I love what you guys do and wish you the best of everything. Jay was and will always be my favorite late-night host and all-around fungi, Sorry, I meant fun guy…
