While the Dawn looks like a chopped-down version of the Wraith, over eighty percent of the cars exterior panels has been re-designed. The cloth top roof conversion takes 22 seconds and you can operate the roof while moving at speeds up to 50kph. Rolls-Royce claims that, by the use of a French seam which has all stitches on the inside of the fabric roof, the blast with the roof up, is well contained. With a 2+2 seating configuration, the car gets suicide doors similar to the Phantom and the Ghost. Rolls Royce has also corrected a typical problem that plagues most convertibles. Rear seat space. By reducing the trunk space, they have managed to liberate the 36.9 inches rear leg room which incidentally is similar to the Wraith.
Powering the car is the 6.6L V12 that churns out 563bhp and frankly ridiculous 780Nm of torque all of which is generated at a lowly 1500rpm. It is enough to propel the 2.6 ton behemoth to 100kmph in a scant 4.9 seconds all the way to an electronically limited top speed of 250kmph.
