Rolls-Royce Dawn And Wraith Leaving U.S. After 2021

One percenters can’t seem to catch a break, and they’ll likely be devastated by news that the Rolls-Royce Dawn and Wraith are being discontinued in the United States.

Roadshow says the cars are being dropped after the 2021 model year due to “regulatory issues” in America, but they’ll continue to be offered overseas. However, the clock is ticking as production is only expected to continue through 2023.

What happens after that point remains unclear, but a Rolls-Royce spokesperson told the publication there are “lots of new things coming down the pipeline.” It’s possible that a new coupe and convertible are among them as the Ghost was redesigned for 2021 and the current Dawn and Wraith were based on the old sedan.

As a refresher, the Wraith was introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and followed by the Dawn a little over two years later. The models were well-received and have been doing double duty ever since Rolls-Royce dropped the Phantom Coupe and Phantom Drophead Coupe in 2016.

While possible replacements for the Dawn and Wraith are several years off, previous reports have suggested their successors could be electric. Little is known about them, but Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös has previously said the company’s first electric vehicle will arrive before 2030 and reports have suggested the model will ride on a modified version of the company’s Architecture of Luxury that underpins the Cullinan, Ghost and Phantom.
