Roll-Royce launches Dawn in India at Rs 6.25 crore

British uber luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce has launched the Dawn convertible in India at a price of Rs 6.25 crore (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The Dawn is Rolls-Royce’s latest convertible and shares its underpinnings with the Wraith coupé though the manufacturer says that 80 percent of the car’s bodywork has been redesigned.

The massive 2,560kg vehicle is powered by the same V12 6.6-litre engine as the Wraith. It churns out 563 hp of power and is paired to a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox. The Dawn also gets a revised suspension and a stiffened body to provide the four-seater convertible with the company’s famed ‘magic carpet’ ride.

The soft-top roof can be operated at speeds of up to 50kph with the roof retracting in 21 seconds. Rolls- Royce says that the cabin with the roof up is just as quiet as that of the coupé, which will make it the quietest convertible on sale.
