Rolls-Royce Dawn

The Dawn is the grand touring convertible in the Rolls-Royce range, built around the idea that the best days are spent unhurried and outdoors. Its 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 makes 563 horsepower and reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, yet the delivery is so smooth that the car feels almost weightless. The soft top folds away in around 22 seconds and the cabin stays hushed even with the roof up at motorway speed. Everything about it points inward, toward the people sitting in it.

Around you sits hand-finished leather and open-pore wood, with the Starlight headliner overhead for the evenings you leave the roof closed. The air suspension irons out the road so thoroughly that an hour behind the wheel passes like ten minutes. Four people travel in real comfort here, which is unusual for an open car of this size, and the rear-hinged coach doors give every entrance a sense of occasion.

Dubai is where the Dawn finds its rhythm. There is the early run out toward Al Qudra before the heat builds, the quieter stretches heading to Hatta, and the slow crawl along JBR as the city lights come on. The Marina skyline looks its best framed by the Spirit of Ecstasy, and the dry warm evenings here treat open-top driving more kindly than almost anywhere else in the world.

We keep the Dawn in Arctic White with a contrasting interior, fully serviced and ready at short notice. It suits an anniversary, a special weekend, or a guest you want to host properly, all without owning a car you would only take out on the best days of the year. We bring it to your door or hotel fuelled and detailed, with insurance and delivery already in the price, then collect it once you are finished.
