Rolls-Royce Dawn

The Rolls-Royce Dawn is the marque's most evocative modern convertible — a four-seat drophead designed to be the quietest open-top car in the world. Finished in deep royal blue with a black fabric soft-top and a vibrant red leather interior, it is a car that turns every harbour-front arrival into an event. The signature Pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, and polished multi-spoke alloy wheels with red brake calipers give it a presence that is both elegant and assertive. Power comes from a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing 563 horsepower and 820 Nm of torque, delivered through an eight-speed ZF gearbox to the rear wheels. The result is a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph — effortless, silent, and endlessly composed. The Dawn's bespoke suspension and air springs keep the ride impossibly smooth whether the roof is up or down, and the soft-top opens in 22 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in striking bright red leather with black inserts and white piping, a high-gloss black dashboard with the iconic analogue clock bearing the 'DAWN' nameplate, chrome-rimmed circular air vents, and a starlight headliner. Every surface is hand-finished, every switch weighted to perfection. Available from €2,800 per day.
