In a playful twist, Dawn "Inspired by Music" was taken for a spin in Rolls-Royce’s anechoic chamber, at its headquarters in Goodwood, West Sussex. The special sound-deadening room is most commonly used during the build process of all Rolls-Royce motor cars to detect any unwanted sounds, resulting in models such as the world’s most silent car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
A hyper-sensitive microphone was used to capture the mechanical and electrical tones of Dawn, including the soft closing doors, the umbrella exciting from its home in the door, the windscreen wipers, indicators and the Spirit of Ecstasy taking her place on the prow of the car. These sounds were then mixed together with deconstructed music stems to create a new track.
Dawn "Inspired by Music" follows in the footsteps of the Wraith "Inspired by Music". The car features the aural experience of the marque’s Bespoke Audio system; the Lyrical Copper exterior paint finish is presented with a blend of brushed and polished textures, hinting at the use of copper found in the best audio systems. An alternative exterior colour-way of Andalusian White may also be specified.
Dawn "Inspired by Music" was presented at the Concorso D’Eleganza Villa d’Este, Italy, over the weekend.
