About the Rolls-Royce Dawn
Introduced at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Dawn was designed to be the most social Rolls-Royce ever, offering genuine four-seat capacity rather than a 2+2 layout. While sharing a platform with the Ghost and Wraith, 80% of its body panels are unique, featuring a fabric roof that operates in near-silence in just 22 seconds. The 6.6-litre V12 provides effortless 'waftability', prioritising serenity and comfort over raw aggression. As the marque's final combustion-powered convertible, it represents the end of an era for traditional open-top grand touring.

Rolls-Royce Dawn fun facts
