While the world is going through a hectic period, in the luxury stratosphere everything is very much business as usual. You could even say it is even thriving as most exotic manufacturers hurried to cover for the idle period caused by the global health crisis. Which is why there is no surprise that even Rolls-Royce is actually busier than ordinarily as it strives to develop and incessantly tease the arrival of the all-new second generation Ghost while also producing its usual slew of utterly bespoke contraptions.
The latest example highlighting Rolls-Royce's keen sense of catering to niches no one knew they existed came back a few months ago when the British automaker announced the approaching arrival of their first new model in the Collection Cars range of the current decade.
It was the Dawn Silver Bullet, a new version of the roadster variant of the Ghost / Wraith / Dawn family, a special series created at the Global Centre of Luxury Manufacturing Excellence, in Goodwood, West Sussex, and one limited to an exclusive manufacturing order of just 50 vehicles.
Now the first unit of the new client commission range has been rolled off the production line and sent on its merry way to find its peers. Rolls-Royce decided to keep tabs on it for a little while longer and even spied it with a drone.
No need to wonder if they were following the European Union’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) because we are pretty sure this was all concocted by the various departments of the automaker that usually preoccupy themselves with the brand’s unmatched portfolio of splendid cars on marvelous locations.
And they outdid themselves, providing us with a daydream reverie of the four-seat Rolls-Royce Drophead that was masterfully transformed into an ultra-metallic Brewster Silver painted two-seat roadster via the addition of an Aero Cowling with a titanium-like fit and finish.
The reinterpretation is, of course, an epic tribute to Rolls-Royces of the glorious past – among them the Silver Dawn, Silver King, Silver Silence and Silver Spectre. Thus, we understand the Dawn Silver part of the name, but the Dawn Silver Bullet reasoning is still hazy - we do not think they want us to remember the failures of the 1929 Sunbeam Silver Bullet land speed record car, right?!
