Rolls-Royce Dawn information
The rich are really different: they drive better cars. If you want to feel incredibly rich and can afford to rent one of the most expensive convertibles on the road, the Rolls-Royce Dawn is the right choice.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn is for successful young men and women drawn to the contemporary aesthetics of the Dawn. When you drive a Dawn, everyone knows you’re driving a super luxury vehicle.
A twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 powers the Dawn. Sounds epic, right? It is. Power is sent to a rear-wheel drive system through an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts almost imperceptibly smoothly.
Although the Dawn weighs more than most three-row SUVs, it hits 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, or 4.6 seconds in Black Badge specification with more power and torque. Both versions move silently at their maximum speed – some 250 km / h electronically regulated – with little effort.
The engine provides all of its torque between 1,500 rpm and 4,750 rpm (1,650 rpm on Black Badge), which means the power reserve gauge (what you get instead of a tachometer) rarely goes above 80% in normal driving. Few cars can move so easily.
The 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 produces 563 hp. These figures rise to 603 horsepower from the engine in the Black Badge we had in our test. We’ve never heard a 12-cylinder sound this quiet, as the Dawn barely sounds like it has an engine when driven moderately.
In the Rolls-Royce Dawn, the one in charge of the transmission is an eight-speed automatic transmission, this is in charge of transmitting all this to a rear-wheel drive system without an all-wheel drive option, with a sportier set-up in the Black model. Badge.
There are no drive modes to choose from except a low gear mode that dials in slightly more aggressive shifts. Apart from that, you can drive, reverse and park. This is not to say that the gearbox doesn’t have a trick up its sleeve.
It works in conjunction with GPS, so you know when a curve or climb is imminent. If a downshift is required, the car will take care of it even before you need to downshift. There’s no need to use the stick shift, as the Dawn simply wants you to sit back and enjoy the pinnacle of open-top driving.
Few two-doors actually offer comfortable seating for four adults, but the Rolls-Royce Dawn is the best you can get when it comes to 4-seater convertibles. Much of the Dawn’s length is taken up by a massive hood, but the car still manages to offer 42 inches of legroom in front and 37 inches in the rear.
Touchscreen infotainment is standard, and Rolls-Royce offers a TV tuner as an option so passengers can watch their favorite shows on the go. A navigation system with real-time traffic updates is also standard, and an 18-speaker stereo system provides enough sound power to drown out wind and road noise when traveling with the top down.
The most remarkable areas of the Rolls-Royce Dawn are both inside and outside. The automaker’s traditional vertical chrome grille covers the front end, flanked by narrow headlights. A high beltline runs the full length of the car with a slight upward curve at the rear, leading to a well-rounded rear end treatment.
Rolls-Royce interiors are the best that can be done. You’d have to look far and wide to find a piece of material that hasn’t been meticulously crafted to be the best it can be. The only piece of hard plastic is the top of the seat belt buckle, and it’s legally required to be there. The rest is also wrapped in high quality leather.
