The first production Rolls-Royce Dawn that’s earmarked for the US market won’t be going to any of the company’s dealerships in the country. Instead, it will head to the Naples Winter Wine Festival in January 2016, where it will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Proceeds from the said auction will go directly to the Naples Children & Education Foundation.
The Dawn first broke into the luxury market scene at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Since then, the Wraith’s cabriolet alter-ego has made a lot of waves, thanks in part to its uncompromising attitude towards premium luxury.
For its part, Rolls-Royce is making sure that whoever wins the auction will receive an authentic one-off. This particular Dawn features an exclusive Arctic White paint finish with a matching, Deep Red soft top roof and a red coachline running the length of the car’s sides. Inside, Rolls-Royce used the same Arctic White shade and combined it with a Consort Red contrast on the leather. The Dawn’s front fascia, doors and wrapping onto the back deck all received Santos Palisander Canadel Paneling, which Rolls describes as a “handcrafted finish of open pore Indian Rosewood” to further elevate the model’s one-off and first-production status.
All in all, this particular Rolls Royce Dawn is valued at more than $400,000. The starting bid is set at $335,000, although given its status as the first-production Dawn to hit the US, there’s a good chance it will push past $500,000 without even breaking a sweat.
