Rolls-Royce Dawn launched in Bahrain at exclusive event

Manama : Rolls-Royce Dawn, the new benchmark in open-top luxury motoring made an exclusive appearance in Bahrain this week, at a dedicated private event hosted by Euro Motors, the sole authorised dealership for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Bahrain.

Commenting on the launch of the open-top, super-luxury car in Bahrain, Paul Yates General Manager of Euro Motors said, “The beautiful new motor car has been very well received by our discerning clientele so far – we are confident that it will continue to drive the success of Euro Motors forward into 2016 and beyond.”

Dawn stands apart from its stable mates, featuring 80 per cent unique body panels.

Indeed such attention has been paid to ensuring this amazing new dawn for super-luxury motoring delivers on its promise, even the tyres that connect the new Rolls-Royce Dawn to the road are new.

The Silent Ballet

Unheard of anywhere in the modern motor industry until now, the roof of the Rolls-Royce Dawn delivers the silence of a Wraith when up and operates in almost complete silence in just over 20 seconds at a cruising speed of up to 50kph.

Working with a fabric roof configuration, the Rolls-Royce engineering team set themselves a challenging goal, which they were unwilling to compromise on – to make the quietest convertible car in the world today.

This quest for silence applied to all aspects of the engineering of the new roof and by extension the new motor car.

2+2 ≠ 4

“In the world of Rolls-Royce, day to day mathematical norms don’t always apply. That’s why I say in the case of the new Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2+2 does not equal 4.”

Giles Taylor, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

“At Rolls-Royce, we pride ourselves as creators of fine motor cars that also serve as social spaces,” comments Taylor. “The idea of creating a car like Dawn that can be used in comfort by only two adults on a day to day basis is anathema. In creating Dawn we have accepted no compromise to the comfort and luxury of four adults who want to travel together in the pinnacle of style.”

A whole new car

Contrary to media speculation, the new Rolls-Royce Dawn is not a Wraith drophead. Eighty per cent of the exterior body panels are newly designed to accommodate an evolution of Rolls-Royce’s design language and to encapsulate highly contemporary, four-seat super-luxury drophead architecture.

The wood on the deck, chosen by the customer to suit their individual taste, flows down the ‘Waterfall’ between the rear seats, and around the cabin clothing the interior door panels and enticing the owner to enter Dawn.

Deliveries on the new Rolls-Royce Dawn will commence in the second quarter of 2016.
