A striking, seductive encounter
Dawn is a Rolls-Royce that
feels completely at home on the Route Napoleon. It is a contemporary
homage to a life on the Cte dAzur. The car is a contemporary take on the
Casino lifestyle. Perhaps seen as cavalier in character it is intended
to attract people who relish both freedom and sophistication, comments
Giles Taylor, Director of Design.
At Rolls-Royce Motor Cars we design without compromise, and this uncompromising approach brings new challenges with each new motor car, continues Taylor. In the case of the new Rolls-Royce Dawn, we have designed it from the road up to deliver a striking, seductive encounter.
The new Rolls-Royce Dawn greets the observer with a striking yet elegant exterior design with classic Rolls-Royce appearance and presence. It is the most vibrant Rolls-Royce yet with charming and alluring qualities that bring a new level of finesse, sophistication and refinement in a drophead coup a serene yet exhilarating sense of uncompromised freedom.
It offers a new level of effortlessness and a relaxed sensory experience with an underlying exhilaration and dynamism. All this without a single compromise to comfort and space. This new Rolls-Royce embodies dynamic and social qualities that will attract a broader, younger and more socially-aware audience around the world.
Contrary to media speculation, the new Rolls-Royce Dawn is not a Wraith drophead. 80% of the exterior body panels of the new Dawn are newly designed to accommodate an evolution of Rolls-Royces design language and to encapsulate highly contemporary, four-seat super-luxury drophead architecture.
The aim was clear. To do what no other car manufacturer had achieved so far make a car that looks as beautiful with its roof up as with it down. One could almost say that the result of the design teams restless endeavours has been to make the new Rolls-Royce Dawn two cars in one.
The heart of the Rolls-Royce Dawn driving experience
The beating heart and soul of any Rolls-Royce motor car is the beloved twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 powertrain. With a power output of 563bhp or 420kW @ 5,250rpm and a torque rating of 780Nm or 575 lb ft @ 1,500rpm, Dawns driving experience is exceptional.
This experience is enhanced by dynamic accelerator pedal mapping which delivers up to 30% increased response at medium throttle.
Dawn maintains Rolls-Royces typical steering characteristics providing superb driver feedback thereby ensuring that the car is effortless but precise to drive, while also providing a great sense of safety, even at higher speeds, no matter if the top is up or down.
The result is that the new Dawn is Rolls-Royces most powerful full four-seat drophead motor car to date, and thanks to its advanced engineering is lighter and more fuel efficient than the majority of compromised 2+2 convertibles in the market.
Grip is provided by runflat tyres, metrically sized at 540mm (20 inches) in diameter. These tyres enable the Dawn to run on a deflated tyre for at least 100 miles/160km at speeds up to 50mph/80km/h before needing a replacement. A remarkable level of control still exists, even with a tyre fully deflated. Optional 21 wheels are also available, mounted on 10-spoke rims. The inclusion of runflat tyre technology removes the need for a spare wheel and jack, freeing up space in the luggage compartment.
