This Rolls-Royce Black Badge Dawn is uniquely Californian in spirit. Those who follow the brand may recall the pastel-colored series that Rolls brought to Pebble Beach in the summer. With the coming of spring, we’re taking the time to reprise the Coral Solid Black Badge Dawn, as a symbol of things to come when warm weather returns.

The car’s drop-top design invites escapism, and its interior color scheme, in Arctic White leather with Sunset accents, augments its West Coast spirit. The Black Badge theme pops up discreetly from time to time, but generally this Dawn is as sunny as the state that inspired it.

The artisans at Goodwood spent nine hours polishing the car’s seven coats of paint. And this Dawn is of course outfitted with the V12 biturbo Rolls is so proud of, which is tuned according to Black Badge specs to deliver nearly 600 horsepower.
