ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN BLACK BADGE DROPHEAD DAWN CONVERTED TO THE DARKSIDE. With edgier styling features, some subtle-but-significant engineering tweaks and a distinctive black colour scheme, Rolls-Royce's Black Badge range aims to appeal to a new generation of discerning buyers – those looking for cars that perfectly combine the ultimate in luxury with modern-feeling styling and top-class performance. The Dawn Black Badge is an incredible-looking car. Immediately imposing, this soft-top fourseater is finished with black paintwork that's layered and highly polished to perfection to create a darker than dark shade. The eight-speed automatic gearbox and a seven-layer folding cloth top are the same as you'll find in the standard Dawn model. But the Dawn Black Badge offers more spirited drive than its namesake, particularly at high speeds. There's also a new exhaust system, new brakes, evolved steering and recalibrated throttle mapping, plus the V12 engine ups to ante from 593bhp to 563bhp with 620lb ft of torque ensuring a super-smooth, effortless-feeling drive. The hardworking, air-spring suspension means you'll feel barely a bump in the road, no matter what speed you're travelling at, and stability is always exceptional.
