The Rolls-Royce Dawn is a convertible luxury grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It was built in order to replace the earlier 2-door open top car model, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé. The Dawn was built on the platform of the Rolls-Royce Ghost, unlike the earlier model which was based on the 7th Generation Rolls-Royce Phantom, the flagship car model of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars until the arrival of the 8th Generation and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé.

RR is one of the few if not only manufacturer that can pull of crazy colour combos and still look great. It makes pink look good on a car .

That would be my choice of colors, proabably. I love those greyish blues. And this here is particularly beautiful.

Bespoke Rolls-Royce Dawn Delivered To Google Exec At Pebble Beach
The Dawn Black Badge is designed to reflect the paintwork of the Google exec's racing cars.
A Silicon Valley tech executive has taken delivery of a bespoke Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Benjamin Treynor Sloss, the vice-president of engineering at Google, was handed the car personally by Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös at the brand’s Collectors Cocktail Reception on Saturday night.
The car, which has been personalized for Sloss by Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood factory, bears the colors of the flag of Modena, in Italy. Sloss chose the yellow-and-navy paintwork to reflect the color schemes of his racing cars.
Rolls-Royce had to create two new colors to pull off the design, with the intense yellow being named "Superflare" for its resemblance of the California sun and the dark navy named Pikes Peak Blue in honorr of Sloss’ racing interest.
Inside, the seats have been adorned with dark navy leather, while bright yellow seat piping and RR headrest logos finish the look. Even the wood on the dashboard is blue with a yellow stripe embedded in the grain.
"Michael Fux showed me that Rolls-Royce’s craftspeople could create completely personal, outrageous but beautiful colour schemes, and when I heard about the sportier Dawn Black Badge, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to commission a very personal Rolls-Royce," said Sloss.
"Our racing cars carry the colors of the flag of Modena in Northern Italy. I wanted to see what Rolls-Royce could do with those same colors. The first time I saw the livery the Rolls-Royce team had created for the Dawn, I burst out with 'Oh my God, that's unreal – I love it!!' It’s outrageous, it’s over the top... it's perfect. I still grin every time I see it."

^For the most part when it comes to Rolls-Royce, I am more of a traditionalist...acres of wood with exquisite graining, leather, etc. so I am not THE biggest fan of the Black Badge's M.O. But this is one of the better looking ones. It's tasteful with with right amount of flourishes, IMO.
In a way I am glad that Black Badge and other bespoke R-R's do exist because we get to a breaking of constraints and some creativity. I feel though if I ever were to be in the blessed position to be able to get one, I'd probably get something more traditional as I see myself immersing myself in that whole Roll-Royce experience.

Yeah, with Rolls-Royce the customer is truly always right.
I'm a big fan of @yonly65 and @becauseracewife. This Dawn matches some other cars their collection
