ROLLS-ROYCE DAWN receives a very welcome update at the hands of Mansory

Mansory is not precisely known for subtle and elegant creations, but for the most flashy and quirky designs, which certainly aren't to all tastes. In this case, however, the result is quite discreet because it is the German preparer.

The specialist has developed a package, called Softkit, for the luxurious and spectacular Rolls-Royce Dawn Silver Bullet, whose appearance becomes interesting. Improvements focus on aesthetics, including new wheels as well as mechanical modifications.

This Softkit includes, for example, a new front splitter with vertical fins at the ends, redesigned elements in the front air intakes and components made of carbon fiber, such as the frame of the front grille and part of the hood.

In the side view the skirts, also made of carbon fiber, as well as the gigantic 22-inch diameter Mansory 'V6' wheels stand out, which are available as standard in Diamond Black or Glossy Black, although optionally they can be ordered in any color that the customer desires.

Following the carbon elements, at the rear there are both the diffuser and the moldings at the ends of the bumper and a small spoiler on the trunk lid, while the top view of the vehicle reveals carbon in the windshield frame and around the hood.

Mansory also took the opportunity to modify the ECU of the 6.6 liter V12 twin-turbo engine, which now achieves a power of 771 hp and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm, compared to the 571 hp and 780 Nm standard.

Where no changes have been made is in the cabin, but as usual, the company ensures that it can carry out all types of custom-made work, on customer request.

It is worth remembering that Rolls-Royce only manufactured 50 copies of the Dawn Silver Bullet, with the idea of ​​“evoking the legendary 1920s roadster”, therefore, it is a very exclusive model, so it is possible that few owners are willing to visit Mansory's facilities in Brand.
