"Rolls-Royce Dawn is the most beautiful Rolls Royce ever" are the words that this famous English car brand put in our mouths from Goodwood. It is the future prestigious and quietest convertible in the world with a canvas roof, with which they are reviving the historic name Dawn. Let's remember. The name appeared for the first and only time with the Silver Dawn convertible, of which only 28 were produced between 1950 and 1954.
Rolls-Royce Dawn the creators immediately marked yes the most beautiful Rolls-Royce ever and there is nothing to dispute with them. Although their history is full of cars that have nothing to add, we can agree that their assessment is not wrong. With it, they also revive the name Dawn, which has almost slipped from our memory, Silver Dawn but it also served the designers as artistic inspiration.
With a predecessor, a model Wraith from 2013, doesn't share much (not parts, not philosophy). Just the chassis and some vital mechanical parts, otherwise it should have just about anything 80 percent new body parts. Of course, there is no shortage of famous ones a driving sensation similar to floating on a flying carpet for which special tires have been developed. A lot of effort was also put into the production canvas roofs with exceptional sound insulation (you can just forget about the sound of umbrella drops), which inaudible within 20 seconds opens up to a speed of 50 km/h. They got rid of wind vortices and the resulting noise while driving with the help of a smooth fabric that they combine with ti french seam (hides all seams), which ensures flawless air flow over the roof surface. This is also why Rolls-Royce boasts that they have produced the quietest convertible in the world.

Under the massive hood, a steel giant weighing more than two tons is located 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, which is driven by 563 horses and develops 780 Nm of torque, which will transmit power to the 20-inch wheels via 8-speed automatic transmission (with the help of maps and GPS data, it will recognize the configuration of the terrain and automatically adjust its operation for better driving conditions). It can go from 0 to 100 km/h impressively 4.9 seconds, and it is electronically limited in speed 250 km/h (consumption of 14.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km, and releases 330 grams of C02 per km into the atmosphere).
"Dawn", with which Rolls-Royce further expands the wings it has spread again in 2003 with Phantom and stretched with Ghost and Wraith, will have big shoes to fill, as her ancestor "Silver Dawn" plowed fallow in many fields. Among other things, it was the first Rolls-Royce model with a factory-built body. The company's orange-colored seat fittings, a color that strongly resembles the orange orb that creeps up from behind the horizon every morning, wood and handmade details, the dashboard will work with the controller and other technology, which the engineers mostly borrowed from "Prikazna", but they improved and simplified it, for example voice control. For the car from which they say you will stood out as if from a prestigious yacht, you will have to deduct around 300 thousand euros.
