The 6750 cc engine was based on the smaller 6230 cc V8. The bigger volume was reached by enlarging the piston stroke. During the tests it appeared that an engine volume of 7269 cc was attainable by enlarging the stroke. This would result in a power of about 220 bhp and a topspeed of about 203 km/h. Ultimately it was determined that a similar growth in performance was reached at an engine volume of 6750 cc.
In the beginning the Silver Shadow was launched with an engine capacity of 6230 cc. From modelyear 1970 on Rolls-Royce increased the engine to 6750 cc., especially to meet the international emission demands.
I suppose if he was reviewing a 3 Michelin star restaurant he'd compare the food to a McDonalds crapburger.
