The Rolls-Royce Dawn is the sole Rolls-Royce convertible model in 2018. It does share some components with the Wraith coupe, the automaker is quick to claim that 80% of the bodywork is new.
The Dawn is a top-shelf convertible in every way, as one might expect from Rolls-Royce. The automaker's ubiquitous 6.6L twin-turbo V12 engine and 8-speed transmission always proves itself capable of pushing even Rolls-Royce's heaviest. The 5,600 lb. Dawn therefore drives and handles like a much lighter car.
It's not hard to see why people make comparisons to the Wraith coupe. The Dawn shares the characteristic Rolls grille, long hood, rectangular LED headlamps and suicide doors. The Dawn is covered by a fabric convertible top that rolls up and down in 22 seconds and is meant to be completely silent.
This being a Rolls-Royce, the Dawn comes superbly appointed with adjustable ride control suspension, 20" alloy wheels, directional headlamps, 8-way power front seats, remote keyless entry, and acres of fine leather trim. All executed in the way only Rolls-Royce does to make it like no other car.
Also typical of Rolls-Royce, the Dawn is almost endlessly upgradeable. Four different 21" alloy wheels are available, 60 exterior paint colors and 6 convertible colors. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament comes in three configurations.
A Driver Assistance package adds lane departure warning, a heads-up display, infra-red night vision technology and automatic high-beam assistance. Other options include several interior wood trims, personalized treadplates, headrest embroidery and a personalized umbrella.
