Announced at the beginning of October 1959 the S2 replaced the S1's straight-six engine with a new aluminum Rolls-Royce Bentley L Series V-8 shared with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II. It displaced 6.2 liters and offered significantly improved performance. The cylinder block and heads are cast in aluminum alloy and hydraulic tappets operate the overhead valves. The engine has a compression ratio of 8:1 and is fitted with twin carburetors with automatic choke. Other features available were fully automatic transmission, power assisted steering, electrically operated ride control, redesigned and more flexible air conditioning, electric rear window demisters and press button window lifts.
