A few days ago, the Rolls-Royce Spectre (Black Badge) completed its China debut in Hangzhou. We learned from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars officially that the Rolls-Royce Dawn has officially been discontinued. The Dawn first debuted in 2015 and launched the Black Badge version in 2017. To this day, the Dawn is the best-selling soft-top sports car in Rolls-Royce brand history, and there is currently no clear information on whether a successor model will be launched in the future.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn is the best-selling soft-top sports car in Rolls-Royce brand history and also sits at the very top of the world's soft-top sports cars. Since the car first debuted in 2015 and launched the Black Badge version in 2017, it has been in short supply.
According to official information, orders for the Dawn and Wraith models stopped as early as March 2022, and it was only after more than a year that all backlogged orders on the production line were completed. Due to the surging wave of new energy, Rolls-Royce is also seeking transformation. Officials stated that the Dawn is now discontinued, and whether a successor model will be launched in the future has not yet been disclosed by the officials, but it is rumored that the market successor will be the all-electric sports car Spectre, while the combustion-engine version remains unclear. Consumers who are enamored with the Dawn will now, it seems, likely have to search for one in the used-car market.
The Dawn convertible, with its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, has become a leader in the convertible world. Its front fascia with the Parthenon grille design is a classic element and representation of the Rolls-Royce family, and the new car's strong waistline and classic coach doors all demonstrate Rolls-Royce's luxury and elegance.
The Dawn convertible's body length reaches 5.3 meters, making it one of the longest and most expensive convertibles. The 2+2 sports car seating layout not only provides ultimate comfort but also showcases the etiquette for rear passengers getting in and out.
The Dawn is equipped with a 6.6L twin-turbocharged V12 engine, with the standard version producing a maximum power of 420kW (571Ps) and the Black Badge version producing a maximum power of 442kW (601Ps). It can complete 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h. In terms of power and performance, the Dawn is on par with other sports cars, but when driving, the Rolls-Royce Dawn undoubtedly offers an extra measure of composure and elegance.
The Dawn's convertible system can automatically fold in just 22 seconds at speeds below 50 km/h, providing drivers with a flexible convertible experience and allowing you to display unique elegant style on any occasion.
Currently, the last Rolls-Royce Dawn customized by an American customer—The Fux Bright Yellow Dawn—has rolled off the production line. In the future, the glory belonging to the Dawn will be succeeded by the Rolls-Royce Spectre all-electric sports car. And not long ago, the Rolls-Royce Spectre (Black Badge) completed its China debut in Hangzhou. The Spectre (Black Badge), with Rolls-Royce Bespoke's advanced customization craftsmanship and an innovative-technology powertrain, makes it the most powerful bespoke creation in Rolls-Royce history.
It is reported that the Spectre starts at 5.75 million yuan and has already begun accepting reservations from customers in China.
