Earlier this month we finally had the chance to fly to the Bavarian Alps and indulge ourselves in the obscene luxury that is the Rolls-Royce Dawn.
You don’t need to know a lot about cars to see that the double R is an automobile for those who live life comfortably. The stylish interior, with its royal colors, is certainly fit for a king.
And the brand does attract its share of kings, albeit in their own domains. When you realize that the Rolls-Royce’s craftsmanship is being appreciated by the likes of Money Mayweather and Shaquille O’Neal it becomes apparent that driving the Dawn isn’t just special; it’s a statement.
As you can expect from a car of this grandeur, the heated seats kept us comfortably warm and the lambswool foot mats certainly did their part too. But when you’re in a vehicle like this, the specs really don’t matter. All you need to know is that there’s plenty of everything.
Oh, and there’s night vision. Naturally.
Just take a look at how the consort red and magnolia interior contrasted beautifully with the, literally, snow white surroundings. At the same time, the rugged mountains formed a perfect balance with the massive, yet smooth and shiny coachwork.
The snow-covered Bavarian Alps might not be its home, but this car is unsurprisingly spectacular no matter where it goes. And that, perhaps, is the best thing about the Rolls-Royce Dawn; It really does go everywhere, and it does so effortlessly and elegantly.
