The Rolls-Royce Dawn heads into Rolls-Royce’s history book as production ends ahead of the arrival of the electric Rolls-Royce Spectre.
Now, Rolls-Royce announces that production of the Dawn – dubbed “The sexiest Rolls Royce ever Built” by RR – has also come to an end, almost eight years after it first launched as the soft-top take on the Wraith.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, RR CEO, said:
Dawn truly reflects the joy of good company, the thrill of adventure and the peace of quiet reflection. Indeed, this motor car is a testament to the modern art of living, recalling ‘la dolce vita’ spirit in every detail. As production of Dawn draws to a close, we can reflect on an extraordinary chapter in the marque’s history. This beautiful motor car perfectly embodies contemporary luxury while celebrating the marque’s founding principles and heritage.
Although not a direct replacement for the Wraith of Dawn, the new Rolls-Royce Spectre – officially revealed back in October – is the future of Rolls-Royce and its first EV is in many ways with its silent running perhaps even better at encapsulating Rolls-Royce’s appeal than the current V12 cars.
With 577bhp from its electric powertrain, and powered by a huge 120kWh battery good for more than 300 miles, the Spectre will waft to 62mph in a silent 4.5 seconds.
The new Rolls-Royce Spectre EV will be arriving with customers later this year.
