Rolls-Royce is known for the hand-tailored personalization of each of its vehicles. According to sources, Trump’s Rolls-Royce was decked out with several customized features. The 1956 Silver Cloud measures 5.38 m long, 1.89 m wide and 1.62 m tall. It is powered by a 4.9 L I6 engine outputting 155 hp mated to a four-speed gearbox; this powertrain propels the Silver Cloud to 100 km/h in 13.5 seconds, with a max speed of 165 km/h.
