If Rolls-Royce is characterized by something, it is precisely by the deluxe level printing in each and every one of their vehicles. It usually has a fairly traditional cut, although they have also dared with different bodies throughout its history. Probably the most striking was the one carried by the Rolls-Royce Dawn and we speak in the past because the end of its production has just been announced. It will go down in history as the best-selling convertible in the history of the brand.
the dawn it was not the first convertible of Rolls-Royce, although it was the most successful. It took advantage of a moment in which the firm was reaching a younger customer base with other models such as the Phantom Coupé and Phantom Drophead Coupé and stayed. The goal was not to reuse the Wraith’s base, but to create something from scratch. They were inspired by the 1950s Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and made a reincarnation that kept that spirit of the “dolce vita” for its design and for its point of view.
The result was that 80% of the Rolls-Royce Dawn’s body panels were completely new and that trained some design cues like the perpendicular slat on the hood. In addition, it distinguished itself as a complete four-seater, with generous space for its passengers in a 2+2 configuration and also many spaces for their luggage. The roof mechanism was a feat of engineering, because with a canvas top you got a insulation very close to that of a hardtop. It was considered the world’s quietest convertible with the top closed.
Another issue that could not be missing under the hood of the Dawn was a mechanic that was up to the task. she received the 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 with its 570 CV of power and the smoothness that only this outstanding engine can achieve. At the chassis level, exquisite behavior was also sought with the Magic Carpet Ride suspension and its ability to offer unmatched comfort. Have been few years on the marketWell, it came out in 2016, but it leaves some really interesting special edition and an indelible legacy for the British firm.
