2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn: A New Start? - Ignition Ep. 157 > MotorTrend Channel

On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com), Motor Trend's Senior Features Editor Jason Cammisa takes a Dawn to the beach to tell us what's so special about this car. Your car isn't just transportation. It's an avatar; an outfit that sends a message to everyone around you. When that avatar is a Rolls-Royce, you're an instant celebrity. And when that Rolls-Royce is a convertible, you're very much on display.

What does nearly $400,000 get you? Is this just a rebodied BMW 7-Series? The Dawn is, after all, based on the big Bimmer. And more importantly, does the bug, twin-turbocharged V-12 let you do burnouts? Is that even important?

And though the Dawn is a convertible version of the Wraith, does it feel any more special?
