California Cool Comes to the Rolls-Royce with this Palm Springs-Inspired Special Edition

You must believe in spring.

Rolls-Royce has come out with a special edition masterpiece that recalls the wildflowers and beautiful spring season of California’s high desert regions. They’re calling it the new Dawn—Palm Springs Collection.

The term “collection” may be a bit misleading. The special edition model is a one-off car built in tandem between Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage in Rancho Mirage, California, and the House of Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design Studio in Goodwood, England.

The special Dawn model was finished with Rolls-Royce’s Arctic White both inside and out and then given Turchese (turquoise) and Mandarin (orange) accents to make the daring droptop seemingly match the desert flowers that inspired the model’s aesthetic. The Santos Palisander veneer adds a certain desert-inspired touch as well.

Powering the Dawn—Palm Springs Collection is the model’s massive V12 engine that produces 563 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The convertible leaps from stop to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and tops out at 155 mph.

A regular Rolls-Royce Dawn model starts at $335,000, but owning the special Palm Springs Collection Dawn will set the future owner back $405,850. It is currently on sale at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage.
