Rolls Royce says goodbye to the Dawn its best-selling and most successful cabrio…

Rolls Royce Dawn

The electrification of the automotive sector has changed the way manufacturers work. I still remember when first class premium brands and prohibitive catalogs announced that it would have no effect on their models. But the law is the law and even if you don't like it, we all have to comply with it (except in exceptional cases). And therefore, firms like Bentley, Rolls Royce or Lamborghini have had no choice but to give up on it...

As you know Rolls Royce has already begun its transition to full electrification. To start this path, it launched the Cullinan Plug-In Hybrid on the market, which has been so well received by customers. But he also has his engineers working on the development of the Spectre, his first XNUMX% electric model. And in between they will say goodbye to the Dawn, the best-selling convertible in its history and that has been active since 2015…

The Rolls Royce Dawn made its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show and is technically based on the Wraith…

The first time we saw the Rolls Royce Dawn was at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.. The objective of the English house with its development was very clear: to capture the attention of "younger" clients. And for such a mission his team of engineers started from the Wraith coupe It hit the market in 2013. Although its managers gave an order to follow and that is that its aesthetic approach should be more fluid as well as elegant.

In fact, At first the roof was going to be rigid but finally they opted for a fabric one. In this process, the firm chose to include materials as exclusive as cashmere, making the Dawn one of the quietest convertibles in the world. Another curious detail to take into account has to do with the system used to see how the wind flow affected passengers when going homeless. They used a mannequin with a long wig to adjust the ceiling…

Regarding its mechanical range the Dawn came with the powerful block 6.6 V12 Biturbo of 571 CV and 779 Nm. Thanks to it, it went from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,9 seconds and reached a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour. Besides, featured the "Magic Carpet Ride" chassis that as a curiosity, insulated even from earthquakes. In the following years, more exclusive versions would arrive, such as the Black Badge with 30 more horsepower and 840 Nm of torque.

In summary, Rolls Royce created the Dawn based on the Wraith to which he modified up to 80% of the body panels. Its retractable canvas roof folded down in just 20 seconds and offered a level of luxury and refinement that rival brands have never achieved. So as goodbye it's not bad, though They recently fired the Wraith and they did it with a special version that the Dawn doesn't have. Ah, they have not indicated how many they have sold either...

Until forever ...
