The CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Torsten Müller-Ötvös launched the car on a live stream for the media.
The car comes with midnight sapphire paint work and an open pored wood-deck. All the seats are hand stitched and there is a perfect hand-painted coach line.
The roof can be dropped down in 22 seconds, and the company claims that the Dawn is the quietest drop-down car in the world.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn comes with a twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 power train that churns out 563bhp @ 5,250rpm and 780Nm of torque @ 1,500rpm. The car has a top speed of 250 km/h and can do a 0-100 km/h dash in just 4.9 seconds.
This makes the new Dawn Rolls-Royce’s most powerful full four-seat drop-head motor car till date. There are also optional 21” wheels available, mounted on 10-spoke rims.
The Dawn maintains timeless Rolls-Royce design principles – 2:1 wheel height to body height, a long bonnet, short front overhang, a long rear overhang, an elegant tapering rear graphic, and a high shoulder line.
In addition, there are new 21” polished, and 21’’ and 20” painted wheels.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn’s effortless dynamism is augmented with the addition of Satellite Aided Transmission. The Satellite Aided Transmission utilises GPS data to allow the car to see beyond what the driver sees, anticipating their next move based on location and driving style.
The Dawn’s 8-speed ZF gearbox ensures that the driver is able to appropriately exploit the power from the Rolls-Royce 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12, ensuring an effortless and seamless driving experience.
The most recent developments in LED lighting technology have also been applied to the Rolls-Royce Dawn. The way this light is managed is significantly enhanced by adaptive technology. Electronically-controlled reflectors move in the direction of travel in response to wheel turns, to give a greater depth of vision when cornering. A whiter, brighter light ensures effortless and safe driving on dark roads while helping reduce driver tiredness.
