Narrator: WHEN HENRY ROYCE,

A SELF-TAUGHT ENGINEER
RAISED IN POVERTY,

MET THE ARISTOCRATIC AVIATION
PIONEER CHARLES ROLLS IN 1906,

THEY FORMED
AN INSTANT FRIENDSHIP,

THANKS TO THEIR SHARED LOVE
OF AUTOMOBILES.

THAT BOND GAVE BIRTH
TO A NEW COMPANY.

THEIR THIRD PARTNER, A MARKETING
WIZARD NAMED CLAUDE JOHNSON,

MADE THE COMPANY'S NAME
WORLD-FAMOUS.

THE COMPANY'S GOAL WAS
TO COMBINE SUPERB ENGINEERING

WITH OPULENT DESIGN ELEMENTS.

IT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL
THAT THE ROLLS-ROYCE NAME

BECAME SYNONYMOUS WITH
THE HIGHEST OF HIGH-END LUXURY.

BUILT IN 1952, THE SILVER DAWN

IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE
OF THE ROLLS-ROYCE LOOK.

ONLY 28 SILVER DAWNS
WERE EVER BUILT,

MAKING IT AMONG THE RAREST
OF ROLLS-ROYCE MODELS.

IN 2016, THE LEGENDARY CARMAKER

LAUNCHED A 21st CENTURY VERSION
CALLED SIMPLY, DAWN.

BOTH VERSIONS OF THE CAR

HAVE ESSENTIALLY
THE SAME PROPORTIONS,

AS WELL AS THE SAME
ICONIC RADIATOR GRILL DESIGN

AND FAMOUS HOOD ORNAMENT,
THE SPIRIT OF ECSTASY.

WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING
A HALF-MILLION DOLLAR CAR

LIKE THE DAWN,
EVERY DETAIL MUST BE PERFECT.

HERE, A TECHNICIAN GUIDES
A HIGH PRECISION TOUCH SENSOR

AS IT TRACKS THE DIMENSIONS
OF A FULL-SIZED MODEL

MILLED FROM SOLID ALUMINUM.

THE SENSOR FEEDS DATA
BACK TO A COMPUTER MONITOR.

BY PAINSTAKINGLY SCANNING
THE CAR'S SURFACE

WITH A SPECIALIZED
HANDHELD DEVICE,

HE CAN CREATE

A THREE-DIMENSIONAL
DIGITAL MODEL

OF ENTIRE BODY SHELL SECTIONS.

THIS BECOMES USEFUL DURING
THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS,

WHEN ASSEMBLY TEAM MEMBERS
CAN THEN VERIFY

THE PRECISE ALIGNMENT

OF HAND-FITTED COMPONENTS,
LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS,

BY COMPARING THEIR WORK
WITH THE DIGITAL MODEL.

A THIRD INSTRUMENT MEASURES
THE GAPS BETWEEN PANELS

TO ENSURE
THEY'RE PERFECTLY ALIGNED.

THE COLLECTED DATA IS FED
TO THE CENTRAL I.T. SYSTEM.

EVEN A NONCUSTOMIZED
ROLLS-ROYCE PAINT JOB

REQUIRES AROUND 100 POUNDS
OF PAINT.

ONCE A BODY IS PAINTED,

TEAM MEMBERS HAND FINISH
EVERY INCH

USING ORBITAL POLISHING TOOLS
EQUIPPED WITH LAMB'S WOOL,

ROTATING AT OVER 2000 RPMs.

THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES
ROUGHLY FIVE HOURS.

THE TEAM WILL POLISH
THE CAR AGAIN

AFTER ITS ROAD TEST

AND THEN GIVE IT
A FINAL TREATMENT

BEFORE IT MEETS ITS NEW OWNER.

A CRAFTSMAN CREATES
A VENEER MADE

WITH A WOOD CHOSEN
BY THE CUSTOMER.

THIS VENEER WILL BECOME

THE VISIBLE SURFACE
OF THE COVER,

WHICH HIDES THE DAWN'S
CONVERTIBLE ROOF

WHEN FOLDED BACK.

ROLLS-ROYCE MAKES THAT COVER

BY INTERLEAVING
PAPER-THIN SHEETS OF TULIPWOOD

WITH ALUMINUM
TO CREATE A STRONG LAMINATE,

WHICH THEY BIND TOGETHER
WITH ADHESIVE IN A PRESS

THAT EXERTS
260 TONS OF PRESSURE

AT 266 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

AFTER BONDING THE VENEER
ONTO THE COVER,

THE CRAFTSMAN POSITIONS
IT IN PLACE

AND CAREFULLY SECURES
THE LOOSE EDGES

WITH A SPECIALIZED
ADHESIVE TAPE.

HE THEN PLACES THE ASSEMBLY
IN A VACUUM PRESS

AND COVERS IT
WITH A THICK MEMBRANE.

AS THE MACHINE VACUUMS
THE MEMBRANE DOWN

SO THAT EVERYTHING
IS HELD SECURELY IN PLACE,

THE CRAFTSMAN TAPS OUT
ANY AIR BUBBLES WITH A HAMMER.

THE PRESS WILL THEN APPLY
2 TONS OF PRESSURE

TO BOUND THE VENEER

FIRMLY TO THE LAMINATE SURFACE
BENEATH IT.

A CRAFTSMAN USES A FILE
TO TRIM EXCESS VENEER

WHERE IT OVERLAPS THE COVER TOP.

AS HE WORKS, FRAGMENTS OF WOOD
SOMETIMES FLAKE OFF.

HE APPLIES A SPECIAL FLUID
TO THE EDGE,

WHICH REVEALS THE LOCATION
OF THESE MISSING FRAGMENTS.

HE THEN USES A SCALPEL
TO HAND-CUT

PRECISELY FITTED
REPLACEMENT PIECES,

WHICH HE BONDS IN PLACE
AND SANDS SMOOTH.

TRIM PLANNERS HANDPICK THE WOOD
FOR THESE VENEERS

FROM OVER 20,000
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF TREES.

WHEN SLICED WITH ULTRA
THIN LAYERS,

CRAFTS PEOPLE
COLLECT THEM IN SEQUENCE

SO THEY CAN THEN BOOK-MATCH THEM

TO CREATE
A PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL PATTERN.

ONCE FINISHED WITH HIS WORK,

THE CRAFTSMAN APPLIES
FLUID AGAIN

TO VERIFY THAT
THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE.

TECHNICIANS BRING A TRIM PIECE
TO A STAMPED METAL COMPONENT

WHICH FORMS THE SUBSTRATE
OF THE ROOF LID.

THEY THEN INSTALL
THE FINISHED PANEL

WHICH SLOTS PERFECTLY
INTO PLACE.

FINALLY, THEY POSITION
A METAL TRIM ELEMENT

WHICH MUST BE WIRED UP

BECAUSE IT INCLUDES
THE SLEEK REAR BRAKE LIGHT

AS PART OF ITS DESIGN.

THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY
IS SECURED ONTO A JIG,

WHICH THE TECHNICIANS
CAN EASILY SWIVEL

IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS
TO THE UNDERSIDE.

THEY USE HANDHELD DRIVERS
TO SYNC THE FINAL FASTENERS.

Narrator: THE ROLLS-ROYCE MERLIN
AND GRIFFON ENGINES

POWERED THE ROYAL AIR FORCE
TO VICTORY IN WORLD WAR II.

DESCENDED FROM THOSE ANCESTORS,

THE DAWN'S POWER TRAIN

IS A MUSCULAR 6.6 LITER
TWIN-TURBO V12.

WITH THE HELP OF A CRANE,
A TECHNICIAN LIFTS

AND GUIDES THE ENGINE INTO PLACE
ON A WAITING JIG.

NEXT, A TEAM MEMBER USES
ANOTHER OVERHEAD CRANE SYSTEM

TO HELP LOAD THE TRANSMISSION

WHICH IS AN 8-SPEED GEARBOX
INTO POSITION.

DIGITALLY CONTROLLED DRIVERS
RUN DOWN THE BOLTS

TO THE PRECISE TORQUE
SPECIFIED BY THE ENGINEERS.

IT'S CRUCIAL THAT
THE FASTENERS BE SECURE.

A TEAM MEMBER THEN MARKS
EACH BOLT MANUALLY

TO CONFIRM IT'S BEEN FASTENED.

WITH AN ENGINE THIS POWERFUL,
THERE CAN BE NO MISTAKES.

THE DAWN'S V12 DEVELOPS

575 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH
OF TORQUE

BETWEEN 1,500 AND 5,000 RPMs.

IF DRIVERS HAPPEN TO GLANCE
AT THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS

WHILE CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
AT 100 MILES PER HOUR,

THEY'LL SEE THAT THE ENGINE

IS DEPLOYING A MERE 10%
OF ITS MAXIMUM CAPACITY.

THIS IS THE KIND OF CAR
THAT FEELS SERENE

EVEN WHEN IT'S GOING
LIKE A ROCKET.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS PART
OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM

WHICH WILL INCLUDE
IMPRESSIVE SILENCING FEATURES.

ROLLS-ROYCE HAS LONG BEEN PROUD
OF BUILDING

SOME OF THE QUIETEST CARS
IN THE WORLD.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CONVERTIBLE,
THE DAWN IS NO EXCEPTION.

WITHOUT THE BRACING PROVIDED
BY A ROOF STRUCTURE,

CREATING A CONVERTIBLE CHASSIS
WITH PRECISE TORSION

IS A CHALLENGE.

CONSTRUCTED FROM STEEL,
THE DAWN'S CHASSIS MAKES IT

THE MOST RIGID 4-SEATER
CONVERTIBLE IN THE WORLD.

THESE GIGANTIC STEEL BRAKE DISCS
ARE EASILY UP TO THE TASK

OF COMPLETING OF CONTROLLING
THE 5,512 POUND DAWN,

EVEN WHEN IT'S SAILING ALONG
AT ITS MAXIMUM SPEED

OF 155 MILES PER HOUR.

TEAM MEMBERS USE
SPECIALLY DESIGNED

REMOTE CONTROLLED
HYDRAULIC CRANES

TO LIFT THE COMBINED ENGINE
AND GEARBOX OF ASSEMBLY

AND MOVE IT OVER
THE POWER TRAIN JIG,

WHERE THEY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY
LOWER IT INTO POSITION

AND FASTEN IT IN PLACE.

THE MASSIVE STEEL DRIVE SHAFT

WILL TRANSFER THE ENGINES
563 HORSEPOWER

TO THE REAR WHEELS
VIA THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

THE TECHNICIAN USES A DEDICATED
SET OF TORQUE WRENCHES

TO MANUALLY TIGHTEN THE BOLTS

TO THE DIGITALLY CONTROLLED
TORQUE.

A WI-FI SYSTEM RECORDS
THE ENTIRE OPERATION

WITH A RESULT
THAT THE CAR MAKER

HAS A COMPLETELY TRACEABLE
ACCOUNT

OF WHICH BOLT WAS TIGHTENED
TO WHAT TORQUE.

NOT ONLY THAT ROLLS-ROYCE
EVEN KNOWS

WHICH WRENCH WAS USED
AND WHO OPERATED IT.

THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL IS TRUE

OF EVERY STEP
IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS.

WHEN BUILDING SOME OF THE MOST
EXCLUSIVE CARS IN THE WORLD,

YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW THE NUTS
AND BOLTS OF THE OPERATION.

THE TECHNICIAN REPEATS
THE PROCESS ON THE OTHER END,

AS HE FASTENS THE DRIVE SHAFT
TO THE TRANSMISSION.

HERE, HE USES ANOTHER DEDICATED
2-PART WRENCH SYSTEM

TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS
TO THEIR SPECIFIED PARAMETERS.

A LIGHT ON THE LARGE
FINISHING WRENCH FLASHES

WHEN HE'S APPLIED
THE CORRECT TORQUE.

NOT ONLY IS
THE DRIVE SHAFT BRAWNY,

IT HAS TO BE LENGTHY
TO TRANSFER THE ENGINE'S TORQUE

TO THE BACK OF THIS LONG CAR.

THE DAWN'S 6.6 LITER V12 ANCHORS
THE POWER TRAIN OF A SUPER CAR,

BUT THE CAREFULLY TUNED
SUSPENSION CREATES

A MAGIC CARPET EFFECT,

GIVING OCCUPANTS THE FEELING

THAT THEY'RE FLYING,
NOT DRIVING.

♪♪

♪♪

Narrator: AS POWERFUL, FAST,
AND HIGH-TECH AS THE DAWN IS,

IT ALSO RECALLS
A DIFFERENT ERA,

WHEN DRIVING
WAS CALLED MOTORING.

AND THE PLEASURE
OF CRUISING IN HIGH STYLE

WAS AS IMPORTANT AS GETTING
FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

CUSTOMERS IN MORE THAN
50 COUNTRIES

BUY THE ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN,

SO IT MUST PASS
STRINGENT SAFETY STANDARDS

IN TERRITORIES WORLDWIDE.

THE DAWN HAS
FOUR INDIVIDUAL SEATS.

ROLLS-ROYCE UPHOLSTERS EACH ONE
IN FINE-GRAINED LEATHER

FROM BULLS REARED
HIGH IN THE WINDY ALPS.

THAT MEANS THE HIDES ARE FREE
OF BLEMISHES FROM BUG BITES.

IMPECCABLY CRAFTED
UPHOLSTERY ASIDE,

ROLLS-ROYCE SEATS
MUST ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT SOUND,

THAT SOUND IS SILENCE.

A TECHNICIAN RIDES THE SEAT
BACK AND FORTH ON A TEST TRACK

AND LISTENS
FOR ANY UNWANTED SQUEAKING.

WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR
OF A ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN,

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU SEE

IS THE TREAD PLATE
AT YOUR FEET.

THE CAR MAKER OFFERS CUSTOMERS
THE OPTION

TO LASER ENGRAVE
THE ALUMINUM PLATE

WITH ANY TEXT THEY WISH.

ROLLS-ROYCE'S FUSION
OF CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

WITH OLD-SCHOOL
ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

IS ON FULL DISPLAY

WHEN IT COMES TO THE CREATION
OF THE TREAD PLATE.

HERE, A CRAFTSMAN USES A SYRINGE

TO MANUALLY APPLY
A COLORED LACQUER

TO THE ENGRAVING.

THE CUSTOMER IS, OF COURSE,
FREE TO CHOOSE NOT ONLY THE TEXT

BUT ALSO THE COLOR
OF THE LACQUER.

THIS IS FINE,
METICULOUS WORK

REQUIRING
A STEADY EXPERIENCED HAND.

ONCE THE LACQUER HAS
FULLY CURED,

A TEAM MEMBER THEN POLISHES
THE PLATE TO A HIGH SHEEN.

WHEN HE'S SATISFIED
WITH HIS WORK,

THE HAND-CRAFTED PIECE

IS READY TO ORNAMENT
THE TREAD OF ITS DAWN.

AS TEAM MEMBERS PREPARE TO WORK
ON THE INTERIOR OF THE DAWN,

THEY REMOVE THE DOORS
TO AVOID DAMAGING THEM.

A SEPARATE TEAM
WILL FINISH THE DOORS

BEFORE THEY'RE REINSTALLED.

THICK PADDING HELPS PROTECT
THE CAR'S MIRROR SHINE

DURING THE NEXT PHASE.

TEAM MEMBERS WORK TOGETHER
TO CAREFULLY FIT AND SECURE

THE DAWN'S NEWLY DESIGNED
AIR SPRINGS.

THE SPRINGS WORK TOGETHER WITH
A REENGINEERED AIR SUSPENSION,

AN ACTIVE ROLL BAR,
AND A LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY

TO CREATE
THE FABLED MAGIC CARPET RIDE

THAT CHARACTERIZES
ROLLS-ROYCE CARS.

THE DAWN HAS THE LARGEST
FOLDING FABRIC ROOF

OF ANY CONVERTIBLE
ON THE MARKET.

SIX LAYERS OF FABRIC ENSURE
IT'S COMPLETELY WATERTIGHT

AND SOUND PROOF.

IT CAN FOLD INTO A SPOT
IN JUST 22 SECONDS.

THE CAR HAS OVER
A HALF A MILE OF WIRING.

TEAM MEMBERS LIFT IT IN PLACE.

TECHNICIANS SLIDE
POWER WINDOW GLASS UNITS

INTO THE REAR PANELS.

WHEN THE ROOF FOLDS AWAY,

PASSENGERS CAN LOWER
THE REAR WINDOWS

TO CREATE A SMOOTH,
OPEN PROFILE.

WHILE SOME MAINSTREAM
MANUFACTURERS

CAN TURN OUT A NEW CAR
EVERY 60 SECONDS,

ROLLS-ROYCE REMAINS COMMITTED

TO BUILDING
HANDCRAFTED VEHICLES.

IT TAKES THEM AN AVERAGE
OF 450 HOURS

TO ASSEMBLE THE DAWN.

HIGHLY PERSONALIZED CARS
CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MONTHS.

THE DASHBOARD
HAS BEEN PREASSEMBLED

AND COMES TO THE LINE COMPLETE
WITH AIR CONDITIONING

AND HEATING UNITS,
STEERING COLUMN,

AND ELECTRICAL
AND ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS.

TEAM MEMBERS USE
A PURPOSE BUILT LIFT ASSIST

TO SLOT THE ASSEMBLY
INTO POSITION.

WIRING AROUND THE WINDSHIELDS

SUPPORTS INTERIOR LIGHTING
AND ELECTRIC ROOF CATCHES.

THE DASHBOARD COVER
IS LIGHT ENOUGH

FOR TEAM MEMBERS TO FIT BY HAND.

THE FINE-GRAINED
LEATHER FINISH COMES

IN ANY COLOR
THE CUSTOMER WISHES.

WHEN THE CAR STARTS,

THIS WOOD FASCIA OPENS
TO REVEAL THE TOUCH SCREEN.

USING THE SCREEN,
DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS

CAN CONTROL THE TELEPHONE,
IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT,

SATELLITE NAVIGATION,
AND OTHER DRIVING SYSTEMS.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS

THE STAINLESS STEEL
INSTRUMENT DIALS

AND VENTILATOR PORTS BY HAND.

IT USED TO BE SAID
THAT INSIDE A ROLLS-ROYCE

THE LOUDEST SOUND WAS
THE TICKING OF THE CLOCK.

BUT IN THE DAWN,
EVEN THE CLOCK IS SILENT.

♪♪

♪♪

Narrator: THE MOST CRITICAL
POINT IN THE ASSEMBLY OF ANY CAR

IS THE MARRIAGE OF
THE TWO MAJOR ELEMENTS,

THE BODY AND THE DRIVETRAIN.

HERE IN
THE ROLLS-ROYCE FACILITY,

THIS IS THE MOMENT
WHEN LUXURY MEETS POWER.

THE MARRIAGE IS A HIGH STAKES
PRECISION OPERATION.

AN OVERHEAD HARNESS SYSTEM
HOLDS THE BODY ALOFT

WHILE THE DRIVETRAIN, CONSISTING
OF THE CHASSIS, ENGINE,

TRANSMISSION, AND SUSPENSION,
SITS ON A JIG BELOW.

SPECIALIZED JIGS AND CRANES LIFT
AND LOWER THE TWO ASSEMBLIES,

ALIGNING THEM PERFECTLY.

ONCE THEY'RE UNITED,

THE TEAM MEMBERS USE
TORQUE CONTROLLED DRIVERS

TO BOLT THE CAR TOGETHER

WITH JUST 16 MAGNESIUM
AND TITANIUM FASTENERS.

TECHNICIANS BRING

THE PREASSEMBLED
TWIN EXHAUST SYSTEM

UNDER THE CAR
AND RAISE IT INTO POSITION.

DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE NOISE
FOR THE CAR'S OCCUPANTS,

THE EXHAUST CAN STILL ROAR

WHEN THE V12 OPENS UP
ON STRAIGHTAWAY.

SENSORS IN THE ADAPTIVE L.E.D.
HEADLIGHTS MEASURE SPEED,

STEERING ANGLE, AND YAW
AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.

A PANEL CALLED THE LOWER VALANCE
COVERS THE BUMPER

AND HELPS FRAME THE COMPONENT
KNOWN AS THE PARTHENON GRILLE,

WHICH FORMS PART OF
THE BRAND'S SIGNATURE LOOK.

THE INTERIOR IS
NOT QUITE FINISHED YET.

A TECHNICIAN POSITIONS
THE CENTER CONSOLE,

WHICH HAS BEEN HAND-FINISHED
IN FINE LEATHER,

WITH STAINLESS STEEL
HEATING DUCTS

AND OTHER FITTINGS.

CUSTOMERS CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE
THE LARGE REAR STORAGE BOX

FITTED WITH A COOLER
TO CHILL CHAMPAGNE.

ONCE SHE'S INSTALLED
THE CONSOLE,

THE TECHNICIAN CHECKS
ALL LIFTING AND SLIDING LIDS

FOR FIT, FINISH, AND FUNCTION.

TEAM MEMBERS BRING THE DECK LID
TO THE CAR

AND CAREFULLY INSTALL IT

OVER THE FOLDED
CLOTH ROOF STORAGE AREA.

ONCE THE LID IS IN PLACE,
TECHNICIANS TEST OUT

THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED ROOF
FOLD MECHANISM.

THIS OPERATION IS SO QUIET
AND SMOOTH

THAT ROLLS-ROYCE ENGINEERS
DUBBED IT THE "SILENT BALLET."

IN 22 SECONDS,

THE FABRIC ROOF STOWS ITSELF
AND DISAPPEARS FROM VIEW.

A TECHNICIAN SITS
IN THE DRIVER SEAT

AS HE INSTALLS
THE STEERING WHEEL,

WHICH HAS BEEN TRIMMED
IN THE SAME LEATHER

AS THE INTERIOR.

THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL
CONTAINS THE AIR BAG

AND BEARS THE FAMOUS
ROLLS-ROYCE LOGO,

WHICH HAS REMAINED UNCHANGED
SINCE THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED.

THE SPIRIT OF ECSTASY
HAS ORNAMENTED THE HOOD

OF EVERY ROLLS-ROYCE
FOR OVER A CENTURY.

FOR SAFETY, THE MASCOT STANDS

ON AN AUTOMATIC
RETRACTOR MECHANISM.

WITH THE INSTALLATION
OF SOME FINAL ELEMENTS

LIKE THE POLISHED TREAD PLATES
AND THE DOOR SILLS,

TEAM MEMBERS COMPLETE
THE ASSEMBLY OF THIS DAWN.

QUALITY CONTROL TESTING IS NEXT.

FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS,

ROLLS-ROYCE CARS
HAVE BEEN SYNONYMOUS

WITH A VERY ENGLISH SENSIBILITY
OF HIGH STYLE AND LUXURY.

CRICKET,
SAVILLE ROW-TAILORED SUITS

AND THE YACHTING LIFESTYLE

ARE ALL PART OF
THE AUTOMAKERS HERITAGE.

LIKE OTHER ROLLS-ROYCE MODELS,

THE DAWN CAN BE AS PERSONALIZED
AS THE CUSTOMER WISHES.

IF, FOR INSTANCE,
ONE OF THE COMPANY'S

44,000 DIFFERENT PAINT FINISHES
ISN'T QUITE RIGHT,

THEY'LL MIX YOU A NEW ONE
TO MATCH YOUR VISION.

ROLLS-ROYCE
MAKES A WOODEN INTERIOR

FROM OVER 30 SEPARATE
HAND-CRAFTED COMPONENTS.

THE WOOD IS TAKEN
FROM A SINGLE TREE,

SO THE DASHBOARD, DOORS,

CONSOLES, AND OTHER FITTINGS
MATCH EACH OTHER PERFECTLY.

AND WHEN THEY GO ABOUT
UPHOLSTERY AND INTERIOR,

IT TAKES ABOUT
30 SQUARE YARDS OF LEATHER,

LASER CUT FROM UP TO 18
INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED HIDES.

ROLLS-ROYCE EVEN PROVIDES
THE OPTION

OF EMBROIDERING YOUR HEADREST
WITH A DESIGN OF YOUR CHOICE.

THE ROLLS-ROYCE SIGNATURE
COACH DOORS OPEN BACKWARDS

FOR A STATELY ENTRY AND EXIT.

AND WHEN YOU OPEN THEM,

YOU'LL FIND A HANDY UMBRELLA
STOWED AWAY

FOR THOSE RAINY DAYS

WHEN TOP-DOWN CRUISING
ISN'T AN OPTION.

EVERY ELEMENT OF THE DAWN

SIGNALS THE LEGENDARY CARMAKER'S
COMMITMENT

TO REFINED LUXURIOUS MOTORING.

THAT COMMITMENT IS THE REASON
WHY WE EQUATE THE BRAND

WITH THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
AND PRODUCT DESIGN

AND PRODUCTION.

THE SATELLITE-AIDED
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

USES G.P.S. TO SELECT
THE RIGHT GEARS

FOR APPROACHING HILLS AND TURNS.

BUT WITH A QUANTITY
OF TORQUE ON TAP,

DRIVER'S BARELY NOTICE
THE GEARBOX WORKING IT ALL.

WHEN IT COMES
TO SHEER OPULENT LUXURY,

THE ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN
HAS NO PEER.
