Rolls-Royce will give the world an online preview of its Dawn convertible on Tuesday, September 8 at 2 pm London time. That’s exactly a full week ahead of the car’s world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The convertible variant of the Rolls-Royce Wraith breaks from the brand’s tradition of using the name Drophead Coupé for its cabriolet models. For this reason, some say the Dawn will be a little bit more than just an open-top version of the Wraith.
One thing is certain though: the Dawn will share the same engine and chassis with the Wraith coupe, which means it will be powered by the 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 624hp (630PS).
The Rolls-Royce Dawn is expected to feature a folding canvas roof and to sport a new design for the rear end. Judging from the spy photos we’ve seen so far, the roof line is also different than the Wraith’s.
