“Our new Rolls-Royce Dawn promises a striking, encounter like no other Rolls-Royce to date,” said Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes.

“Dawn is a new open-top motor car with a name that suggests the fresh opportunities every new day holds. It will be the most social of super-luxury motor cars.”

The new Dawn will revive another rare Rolls-Royce name first used in 1949, but only ever applied to 28 drophead bodies between 1950 and 1954.

A new beginning for Rolls-Royce at the time, the original Silver Dawn was the first Rolls-Royce to be offered with a factory-built body.
