Rolls-Royce, the prestigious British carmaker, has announced the end of production for its best-selling convertible, the Dawn. The announcement marks the end of a successful five-year run for the luxury vehicle, which has been praised for its stylish design, unparalleled performance, and unmatched comfort.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn was first introduced to the market in 2016 and quickly became a fan favorite. The car was designed to be a true driver's car, offering a thrilling driving experience while maintaining the iconic luxury and style that the brand is known for. The Dawn was also notable for its convertible roof, which provided a unique and exhilarating driving experience.
One of the most interesting aspects of the Dawn's development was the company's use of a mannequin in a wig to perfect the airflow over the roof. According to Rolls-Royce, the mannequin was used to ensure that the wind would not disrupt the vehicle's smooth lines or create excessive noise while driving with the top down.
Despite its high price point, the Rolls-Royce Dawn quickly became one of the most sought-after luxury convertibles on the market. The car's sleek design, premium materials, and exceptional performance made it a favorite among the elite and the wealthy.
According to Rolls-Royce, the Dawn was the brand's best-selling convertible in its history, surpassing even the legendary Corniche and Phantom Drophead. The car was also praised for its innovative technology, including a state-of-the-art infotainment system and advanced safety features.
While the end of production for the Dawn is certainly a significant milestone for Rolls-Royce, the brand is already looking to the future. The company has recently announced the launch of several new models, including the highly anticipated Spectre and Wraith.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
