The 1909 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost Roi des Belges represents the early flowering of a legend. Powered by an exceptionally quiet 7.0-liter inline-six engine, the Silver Ghost quickly earned its reputation for unmatched refinement, reliability, and engineering excellence.
The elegant Roi des Belges open touring body, a style originally associated with the King of Belgium, added grace and presence to the already outstanding chassis. It was cars like this that led contemporary observers to declare the Silver Ghost “the best car in the world”, a title that has remained inseparable from Rolls-Royce ever since.
More than a century later, the 1909 Silver Ghost Roi des Belges still stands as a defining masterpiece of Edwardian motoring. These photos capture the pioneering elegance and enduring legacy of the 1909 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost Roi des Belges, the car that helped establish the phrase “the best car in the world.”
