The Rolls‑Royce Dawn pairs the marque’s trademark, cloudlike ride with the immediate thrill of open‑air driving: a convertible with a starlight headliner that lets occupants trade a ceiling of stars for the wind in their hair while the 6.6‑liter V‑12 responds with seamless bursts of power.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

V‑12 Muscle, Rolls‑Royce Calm

Under the Dawn’s long hood sits a 6.6 L V‑12 producing 563 hp; the car balances explosive 0–60 capability with the marque’s signature, cloudlike ride and a top speed of 155 MPH, delivering both composure and pace.

THE SENSATION

Convertible Luxury, Day or Night

The Dawn lets occupants choose between the trademark starlight headliner and full open‑air motoring—either way the experience emphasizes refinement: calm suspension, a quiet cabin when closed, and the tactile immediacy of a convertible when the top is down.

THE SEATING

Four‑Place Grand Touring

Configured to carry four passengers, the Dawn is built for intimate groups who want to share the sensory contrasts of silence and speed, cloudlike suspension and the rush of open‑top wind.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like to Drive the Dawn

This is a drive of contrasts: the hush and poise of Rolls‑Royce suspension underfoot, the tactile immediacy of a convertible when the roof is lowered, and a V‑12 that answers with smooth, effortless thrust—letting you glide toward your destination in measured style.

Small GroupsBest suited to parties of up to four—the Dawn is a four‑passenger convertible rather than a larger touring vehicle.
4
