Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet arrives in Brisbane

Only a few people in the country get to own a vehicle from this brand, but only one can have this near million dollar machine.

2021 Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet arrives in Australia. It is one of only 50 available worldwide.

There might not be a more exclusive vehicle in Australia than this.

Rolls-Royce has just introduced the extremely limited edition Dawn Silver Bullet convertible, which will be on display at the brand’s Brisbane dealership.

The Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet is priced at about $900,000.

It is the only example to be sold in Australia and is one of just 50 units available worldwide.

Exclusivity doesn’t come cheap — you won’t get much change from $1 million after you add $53,000 of stamp duty to the $893,000 price tag.

The arrival of the special edition cements Australia’s importance to the global luxury brand. Rolls-Royce says Down Under is increasingly a destination for bespoke version of its cars.

Standard Rolls-Royce Dawn variants start at about $750,000 and the brand’s most expensive model the Phantom will set you back more than $1m. But Rolls-Royce customers typically spend much more to make a vehicle to their exact specification.

It has a unique aerodynamic feature to make driving with the top down more enjoyable.

The Dawn Silver Bullet features a unique windbreak feature to make drop-top motoring more enjoyable for the driver and passenger.

Dubbed “Aero Cowling” the windbreaks are two humps behind the seats that help funnel air over the cabin creating a calm bubble.

Both aero features double as lockable storage spaces.

Paul Harris, the Asia Pacific boss of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, believes the vehicle’s bold styling will appeal to younger buyers.

Deluxe materials are used throughout the cabin.

“Dawn Silver Bullet builds on the premise of Dawn’s seductive, open-top, super-luxury motoring experience,” says Harris.

“It speaks a unique language to our new, younger customers who are after a luxurious roadster offering the absolute pinnacle of travel experiences.”

Power comes from a monstrous V12 engine making 420kW and 820Nm, enough to push the more than 2600kg luxury car from 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds on the way to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.

Rolls-Royce has an eye for detail.

The Dawn Silver Bullet enjoys a drink, glugging about 16.3L/100km.

There are plenty of luxury features to like for the price including quilted leather trim throughout the cabin, a giant 21-inch screen, plush leather seats with contrast stitching, lamb's wool floor mats and massaging seats.
