History

The Rolls-Royce Dawn was unveiled in 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, succeeding the Phantom Drophead Coupé. Built on the Rolls-Royce Ghost platform, it shared design elements with the Wraith but distinguished itself with its fabric roof and the ability to comfortably accommodate four adults. In 2017, Rolls-Royce introduced the Black Badge version, offering enhanced performance and a bolder design. Production of the Dawn concluded in 2023, after being hailed as the brand's best-selling convertible. (press.rolls-roycemotorcars.com)
