The Rolls Royce Dawn in white with an orange and black interior is the four-seat convertible in our Orange County fleet, the only open-top Rolls Royce we run. Drop the roof and the car stops being transport and becomes the occasion itself. Book it for a coastal wedding, a birthday drive, or any day built around being seen with the top down.
This Dawn is a four seat convertible with a 6.6 liter twin turbo V12 rated at 563 horsepower, and the engineering priority was silence rather than speed. The fabric roof has six layers, and with it up the cabin stays quieter than most hardtop sedans, an unusual claim for any convertible. It folds away in about twenty seconds and will do it while the car is still rolling near the harbour at Newport. Sixty in 4.7 seconds arrives as a swell rather than a shove. Rear-wheel drive and a great deal of weight mean it never feels urgent, which is entirely the point on a slow roll down Pacific Coast Highway.
White with an orange and black interior on an open car is the most photogenic Rolls Royce in our Orange County fleet, because the roof folding away turns the cabin into the subject. The orange leather runs the length of an open white body, and along Pacific Coast Highway through Laguna Beach at golden hour the effect is theatrical in a way the closed cars cannot manage. Shoot roof down from slightly above, with the coastline behind it. The Spirit of Ecstasy on the bonnet and the coach doors opening backwards are the two details that identify the car instantly, so give both their own frames.
The only open Rolls Royce we run. Everything else we keep under this badge has four doors and a roof, so if the requirement is four seats with the top stowed and this level of interior work, this is the group of one in our Orange County fleet. The orange and black cabin is fully exposed with the top down and runs the length of a white body, a photograph nothing else we run produces. Book it for the coast drive itself, Pacific Coast Highway through Laguna Beach or the climb to Pelican Hill, rather than for arriving somewhere formal.
This is the Dawn trim in white over an orange and black interior, rear-wheel drive, powered by a 6.6 liter twin turbo V12 making 563 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. The rear-hinged coach doors let passengers step out standing and facing forward rather than climbing sideways, and the fabric roof is a six layer design built for quiet rather than speed, folding away under a polished wood deck instead of a plastic cover. It seats four, with genuine rear seats rather than token ones. Zero to sixty comes in 4.7 seconds and top speed is limited to 155 miles per hour.
