2019 Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge Edition: What to Love

The 2019 Rolls-Royce Dawn certainly turns a lot of heads, but the Black Badge Edition is so much more than another version of this vehicle. It is one of the finest pieces of machinery this brand has ever produced. 

For many enthusiasts, the Rolls-Royce Black Badge attraction starts with what’s under the hood. It has a V-12, something few cars offer these days, and so acceleration energy is always available. It is a 6.6-liter, twin-turbocharged engine that has been specially tuned to offer additional power to a driver. In fact, you’ll find 593 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque. If you’re looking for a vehicle that can move you from 0 – 60 in just 4.4 seconds, this is it, despite the fact that it weighs 5,200 pounds. It also features a ZF 8 speed transmission with a steering rack that has been quickened for added feedback and a fantastic braking system that got a recent overhaul to offer a one inch increase in diameter. 

Performance statistics are far from the only feature behind the Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge, though. Inside, you’ll find a hand-crafted interior. It echoes the brand but offers a few sportier touches like a woven carbon-fiber dashboard, speed dials accented with red, and aluminum trim. The Bespoke audio system is nothing short of stunning as well. It uses hi-fi technology and relies on 16 individually tuned speakers. Two bass speakers are in the trunk and seven tweeters are carefully placed in the cabin to continually deliver amazing sound quality. It even has the power to monitor its own sound quality thanks to a microphone that adjusts volume and tone according to any ambient noise in the cabin. 

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge edition was launched in 2016, and the goal was to attract younger buyers who wanted a sporty model. This certainly does that and so much more.
