The Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet is fully revealed on the occasion of the manufacture of the first unit

The Bentley Mulliner Bacalar was presented in early March as an exclusive limited edition of 12 units based on the EXP 100 GT prototype, aimed at a very special audience, but a few days later Rolls-Royce answered its natural rival with the first sketches of its new convertible, the Dawn Silver Bullet, also planned under a slightly larger limited edition of 50 units.

The Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet, based on the also convertible Dawn, has taken a little longer to appear and was not seen until this August, when the English brand put the first unit of the series on the road. This unit left the factory the brand has in Goodwood, West Sussex, to be photographed in a setting as idyllic as Lake Garda, at the foot of the Italian Alps, before being delivered to its future owner.

Among large trees and a winding road at the foot of the mountains, the Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet shows off its beautiful silhouette, a bodywork painted in the ultra-metallic colour Brewster Silver, with which the brand pays tribute to iconic models such as the Silver Dawn, Silver King, Silver Silence and Silver Spectre. This colour is complemented by black details that further highlight the rest of the bodywork, such as the grille of the front grille and the one at the lower part of the bumper, the surrounds of the rear lights, the central insert in the boot, or the wheels, which also receive a polished finish with a chrome circular line in the centre.

The base of the Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet is the Rolls-Royce Dawn, a four-seat convertible, so to turn it into an exclusive two-seat convertible the brand has installed what it calls Aero Cowling. The Aero Cowling is a fairing that serves to cover the rear seats, consisting of two humps positioned behind each of the front seats, with titanium-finish elements, a feature that reinforces the exclusive image of this limited edition and also gives it a greater sense of dynamism. When opening the doors, on the sill, you will find a plate indicating which unit of the edition you are looking at.

Lifting the bonnet of the Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet, we find the spectacular 6,600 cc V12 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology, which produces 563 CV together with a torque of 780 Nm, allowing it to reach 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. It is a heavy car which, together with its monstrous engine, has CO2 emissions of 381 g/km and a combined consumption of 16.9 l/100 km according to the WLTP test cycle.
