Rolls Royce Dawn Landspeed

FEATURES

The prestigious Rolls-Royce brand is all about celebrating heritage and tradition while at the same time embracing the newest and most cutting-edge automotive technology and integrating it into that timeless classic build. Rolls-Royce is coming out with a new collection of Wraith and Dawn Black Badge models that they are referring to simply as the “Landspeed Collection.” This collection is built to commemorate and celebrate the achievements of British engineer Captain George Eyston in his land speed record-breaking vehicle Thunderbolt, which was originally powered by 2 Rolls-Royce R V12 engines. Starting on the inside, the interior design is meant to help drivers and passengers think of the place where Eyston made many of his greatest achievements, the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. It was there in 1937-1938 that Eyston pursued his most famous land speed records. As you might expect from a Rolls-Royce, the key to the story is in the details of the new Landspeed Collection build. -Forbes Magazine
