Say you’re considering a
Rolls-Royce convertible. But what you really want is a two-seater, and Goodwood
only makes the Dawn with four. So what to do? The Dawn Aero Cowling could be
your answer. It’s a specially crafted cover that goes over the rear seats of
the Dawn cabriolet to give it more of a roadster-like profile.
The unit is made of carbon fiber and aluminum to
keep it nice and light, and is covered in the finest of leathers to match the
interior. It even has storage compartments integrated into it to make it more
versatile. And we gather that it’s removable to transform the Dawn back into a
four-seater when needed.
The new option is being displayed at the Geneva
Motor Show this week on a silver Dawn with a tan and silver interior and
21-inch partially polished alloys. The carbon-fiber “spine” is left exposed,
and matches the book-matched trim on the dashboard.
The two-seat Dawn won’t be the only Rolls on display
at the show. Alongside it, Rolls-Royce is showcasing the extent of the
customization options available with three examples of the new Phantom.
All four vehicles – the two-seat Dawn roadster, the
“Gentleman’s” Phantom, and the extended-wheelbase models – will be on prominent
display on Rolls-Royce’s stand at the Geneva Motor Show, which opens its doors
to the press tomorrow.
