Auto: "sexy" and Rolls-Royce in the same sentence, a new "Dawn"

The British carmaker describes the Rolls-Royce Dawn as the “sexiest Rolls-Royce ever built,” and we’re inclined to agree—in fact, Robb Report named it Best of the Best 2016 Convertible of the Year.

The top itself opens and closes in just over 20 seconds at a speed of up to 30 mph, and the automaker says the roof mechanism is the quietest in the segment.
