Rolls-Royce is all set to launch its new offering, the Dawn in India on June 24th. The Rolls-Royce Dawn will be the second convertible to be launched in India from the iconic British luxury brand after Phantom Drophead Coupé. Unveiled at 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Dawn is based on the Wraith, however the manufacturer claims that the Dawn shares very less design elements from the Wraith.
The Dawn is powered by a 6.6 litre twin turbo V12 engine producing 563 bhp @ 5,250 rpm and 780 Nm of torque @ 1,500 rpm, and is mated to 8-speed ZF gearbox. The car has a Satellite Aided Transmission, similar to the one in the Wraith. The technology utilizes GPS data, anticipating driver’s next move based on location and driving style, and engages the most appropriate gear.
The roof can be lowered or closed within 22 seconds and at speeds of upto 50 km/h. Few key features of Rolls-Royce Dawn include a bespoke audio system with 16 speakers, 10.25” infotainment system, cruise control, roll-over protection system and many more. The company claims that the car can be driven on a deflated tyre for about 160km at speeds up to 80km/h before needing a replacement, and the car will still have remarkable levels of control. Rolls-Royce says the Dawn’s suspension has been configured for a “magic carpet ride” experience.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn measures 5285 mm in length, 1947 mm in width and 1502 mm in height. Wheelbase measures at 3112 mm and boot measures at 244 – 295 litres. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h and 0-100 happens in 4.9 seconds. Fuel consumption is claimed at 21.4 litres/100 km in urban conditions, and CO2 emissions are measured at 330g/km
