I swear I was about to try this at home until he stopped me at the last second when he said don't try this at home
Yeah, he always does that! I'm just about to try whatever he's doing and he says not to .. :(
I was trying it at home... woke up some folks
hahahahahahahaha
The effort you must put in to deliver the length amount of content you do, Bravo MotorMan
Keep doing what you've been doing :)
Thanks for noticing, Jack . . . Means a lot!
Thanks- I really enjoyed these 16 minutes. It scooped me up- out of this mundane existence and put me into the car with you. And I felt like a king (too). Keep up the good work!
If rolls Royce had the interior of a Bentley that in my opinion would be a perfect car
you have the best reviews out of all the channels i've seen, i love the subtle comedic take you have the the personality you put into the vids, subbed!
MotoMan, you make the type of show that I would want to make if I made a show about automobiles. I respect you enthusiasm, passion, and admiration for the vehicles you review even after years of doing it. There are other online car shows I watch and many of those hosts are passionate, but have a slight air of being jaded. Thank you for making a show that draws me in and brings out my awe for craftsmanship, power, and creates daydream-like experience that is usually reserved for road trips and soft summer nights.
Here in Palm Springs, Ca. it is an everyday occurrence to see such automobiles touring our city and they are just beautiful in motion.
These classic cars are so funny ... have to drive yourself! I'm so happy we have the RR Vision now
0:05 Who been washing that car? The clear is so fucked up I wanna cry
"don't try this at home"
* gets in my 400k rolls royce and drives recklessly inside my house just to spite you *
Funny how they say please don't try this at home. Homie my house isn't that big enough and i don't a Rolls Royce lmao
Funny how you've just said house while the term refers to a home, hommie :@
Cynchronia Didn't realize that.Good spot
Yeah LoL, like I would get the chance in this lifetime to drive that!
great review congrats very informative.
amazing car simply unrivalled
I like this reviewer,he's easy to listen to.And thank god for BMW and VW together with the English input.
I aspire to do my presentations like you, sir... you are so fluid and articulate in all your videos, it's like you designed every car yourself! You obviously know your craft very well indeed - nice work.... keep 'em coiming!! (My fave so far is the S65 video but then I am biased...)
The roofline with the top up looks fantastic
Fantastic car, fantastic review. Thank you so much!
I think what he is referring to about the interior of the convertible top, is what is called a Carson Top, they were popular in the 30's to late 40's custom coachbuilders
Whilst im just a peon, that is Thrilled with his fully loaded Fiat 124 Lusso with stick.
Watching the Video on the Rolls-Royce website introducing Dawn, brought a tear to my eye. IF I ever won a Big lottery... THIS would be the First car I'd buy.. over anything else... Doubt that will happen... but Damn... Most Stunningly Gorgeous Car EVER !!!!!!!!!!
yes there is the Lexus SC 2 concept which is stunning hope it makes it to production. The first generation was amazing to own. hope the new one can capture the details from it's predecessor.
A great in depth car review.... really enjoyed it
i recently drove an S500 Convertible in Germany and Italy and yes it was great and yes there is always room for such vehicles
Keep putting out videos for the regular folks, there, Motoman! LOL
i am no longer late to things, i was simply held up. lmao i am using that one.
I'm going to start counting how many times u say driving dynamics per episode
I enjoyed the review. I really wish I was in your shoes to be able to drive this beautiful car. Well I got to get going, I have lottery tickets to buy. LOL
My god... you sir is a great presenter of content....
i enjoyed this review. :) #Respect
Very nice comments! And presentation:)
I recognize Decker Canyon. Nice country road with hair pin turns leading down to the ocean
Hi MotoMan! I love convertibles. I currently drive a 2016 Audi A3 S-Line cabrio and it's fantastic because of it size. I previously owned a 2013 S5 cabrio and I found it was to big and to wild. So the RR, which is gorgeous like an expensive suit or pair of shoes or watch, it's not ideal for us commoners. Unless you live on an estate, and you drive from your estate to the club it's basically a pain in the ass to park and live with every day. It's a rolling Picasso. I have to admit that I do live with a RR everyday as my neighbor owns the RR dealer and he brings one home most days. Very nice to look at. He did tell me that for $5,000 CND a year you can actually get a lifetime warranty... That's cheap if the car is paid off in my opinion. He also told me that most buyers of these cars have a net worth of 20-30 million +. So I'll stick to my Audi for now!
I have a RR sitting in the garage and I'm going to try all that at home how do i get it in the house tho?
The wood is beautiful!
I had a Pontiac Grand Ville convertible in 1972. It was a wonderful low speed parkway cruiser for a guy in his mid-twenties. However, it was way noisy at highway speeds and a little bit of exposure to the summer sun went a long ways. I traded it for a 1973 GTO. Today, it is only the 'idea' of a convertible that appeals to me. Even with improved airflow and a Rolls Royce level of sound deadening in the top, something like this would have to be a second car for occasional driving.
How does this compare to the 2016 Rolls Royce Drophead Phantom Coupe? A step down?
In answer to your question at the end, I'm certain that Lexus or Mercedes (or any car company with an eye for detail) could put out something that is similar to the Rolls Royce Dawn however you'd most likely come away with the impression that it was lacking something that you couldn't quite put your finger on. Its akin to the difference between listening to a recording of Handel's Messiah in your home and listening to it sung live in one of the world's great cathedrals. No matter how good your sound system is at home, the surroundings of a cathedral and the fact that it is live adds greatly to the experience. With the Dawn, the fact that it comes with the prestige and heritage of a Rolls, the fact that every inch of the car has had care and attention lavished on it in the production process and the fact that everything works so well that you don't even have to think about adds up to create a unique experience that cannot be reproduced at a cheaper price or in a different brand.
I want a 4 door convertible. Like the ciel or the s class concept
Seriously why does they refuse to give us the new Lincoln Continental?! The Ciel, or a Mercedes-Benz Sonder-Classe convertible sedan?! I know I know, suppy and demand, etc. Ugh.
BTW what's with the windshield wipers, they don't go all the way down behind the wind deflector on the hood, or is it already malfunctioning? I mean like in typical BMW fashion!
Hi sir M from India. My question to u is can this car run when it is raining. Does the roof gets the water in .?
Such a gorgeous vehicle!!
Would love to see a S-class Convertible review to see 1. Some sort of a counterpart of this car (even though im not sure if you can compete these two cars and 2. To see the bigger BIGGER brother of the C-class convertible
is the handkerchief in the top pocket really necessary?
This guy sounds like Ralph, the wacko neighbour in "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" from the 70's.

I would call my 1965 Mercury Park Lane Convertible "grand". The hood is a mile long, plenty of interior room, and it floats along the highway (my uncle had a 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix convertible I loved). I'm not sure the bean counters would let one be built today, but Cadillac is the only domestic brand left that could pull it off. I wish there were others out there.
To answer your question, bluntly,...yes. There needs to be a down market grand touring two door convertible for the rest of us. One where folks can fit in the back seats comfortably. There, I said it.
Jeez local Rolls Royce dealers getting lazy with detailing... Brown tires, swirl marks galore, not even sure what to say
Lol the detailers probly make 8 bucks an hour, they dont give a fuck
Great review.
When raising/lowering the top at the 30MPH limit, does the car automatically prevent itself from going faster until the operation is complete? In other words, would the car go faster if you accelerate in mid-operation?
Yes. The roof operations will just stop mid cycle until you slow down.
I don't like how he says "Please don't try this at home" because yes, I totally have a brand new Rolls Royce Dawn sitting in my garage.
Perfection of the perfect 👌🏼
Gorgeous doesn’t quite cover it with the Dawn … especially that one! And look at all that wood. Gorgeous.
As for a Grand Convertible today, obviously a car like that while a low volume is a statement & a flagship… A car like that should not be subjected to bean counters … otherwise you'd end up with a Chrysler Sebring (eww).
A car like the new S convertible follows that formula & goes all the way (Dr Z is the man), A car like the BMW 650i … As much as I love the 6er, you can tell it was a compromise between the designers & bean counters …. Epic exterior, average interior …. The Alpina B6 S takes car of that. As for convertibles designed by Accountings, they are dime a dozen.
As always, excellent work M!
whats wrong with his hands? did he have a stroke?
Absolutely beautiful
Hello, why the passenger seat, visible on the left side of the frame, all the time moving!
Is this the original Rolls Royce ???????????????????
Well done.
Simply awesome
What an impressive car!
What about the safety of the roof I see no support behind the driver and passenger's head in the case of rollover, will it withstand it's enormous weight?
+rémy rtnt so we can consider it pillars that pop up in emergency , that's neat thank you for this interesting info
can't wait to buy my rolls Royce
it looks like I'm not trading in my 2015 I'll wait till next year to see what they come up with
what wood finish is that
oh my those scratches on that rolls royce.....start of the vid i saw it xD
What a car - just too much car! Admittedly, I would happier with a high end performance variant of a Jag or German brand, but appreciate that the RRs and Bentleys are just out there, amazing.
Oh god yes. The convertible... over here in Slovakia it's been having a renaissance, mostly with various Peugeot CC models, which hit right in affordability and all weather ability.
But they are small cars still. I own a C70, which is pretty big for its class, and it's still not quite big enough for a part of four, especially with some luggage. I'd love to see a car that can comfortably take 4 people and their bags, top down.
Thank you
Yeah like I am going to be driving in home 😂😂😂
I love convertibles ..i have peugeot convertable with metal automatic roof ..is not rolls royce but its great in spring and summer and i love it ....i wish someone make 4 door convertable ..i would then trash my second car ...its my only complain about convertables..so i have to fold seats every time few people drives with me and is not easy to get in and out
Those swirl marks at the beginning... Did the owner take her through a tunnel wash or something?
What a sexy car. Even down to the window wipers
Those look a bit off, imo. They are fat and weird.
I am stuck choosing between this and the Bentley Convertible. Leaning more toward the Dawn though. 8o)
I need this in 1/18 :D
AGREED! I am also an 18 scale collector . . .
+raphael gross I need this in 1:1. Seriously. Im in love with the Ghost/Wraith/Dawn.
fuck the 1/18 go for the real car
I wouldn't say 'no' to the real one, of course not! But in my case the model car makes more sence...
But I would love to own the real one! :)
If you already think you can't afford that. You already lose. Just like a football match and the of 1team think that they can't win. Before they start they already lose the game. Your correct reply should has been. The car is already mine but is not visible yet. But you know and believe that it is already your without any doubt and it will be yours.
Great review, don't let the sarcastic posts about driving at home bother you, we all know what you meant.
I can't wait till I learn to drive
$1,200 floor mats . . . 😂 that's what I'm talking bout
nice no nonsense honest
Are you going to do the drive test for the Lincoln Continental if so please let me know when or time frame
No.
+MotoManTV savage
lol.
Mr. motorman, can you please review the new Honda Civic hatchback then?
If you think this car is expensive, I visited the local Rolls Royce Dealer and they had a Phantom Drophead in the showroom for slightly less than $600,000 USD! OUCH!
Which one do you prefer the Bentley or the Rolls?
Is it bulletproof?
what happends if your loose satellite connection? gear changes still possible?
The satellite connection is only used to anticipate what gear should be used for the next few terms. Lose the satellite connection and your transmission programming is still there to do its job.
Actually it was on the Rolls before the 7 Series but yeah it's BMW tech.
'Is there room for a convertible like this?'.. I think there are many potential buyers of this classy masterpiece, if that was the question. Where will a convertible like this 'fit in'? I would say solely cruising between Cannes and San Remo.
Yeah I'll try this on the road. not at home
Here in the U.K. U can only really drive this thing in London or the country... my dad took his to Birmingham and it got keyed 😭
so beautiful
My Luxury Dream Car
I would like a big Buick convertible
OH my god ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
some people liken it to a boat in a disparaging way...I think it's a compliment...
On my wish list 😬😬💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Lol good luck with that
0:06 what the hell is with all those scratches???
that hanky, shirt and jeans? and you want to be refined in the rolls for the summer? just fucking with you man! 😀
Yes MotoMan, tell your audience not to try this at home cause they've surely all got a rolls royce in their drive way and aren't mostly broke people who like fancy cars.
There's is room in my life for this grand convertible only if a six foot four guy with a extra long torso can fit in it and see threw the windshield not over it.
this Rolls is like the Riva yacht
There is room for a grand convertible... but there is not room for a rear console, forcing one of two rear passengers to clamber over whilst entering from the curbside. Of course, if one of those rear passengers is your mother-in-law, the Wraith and Dawn now give you the excuse of having her come 'round into oncoming traffic, and hurriedly enter before the light turns green.
No wonder why this cost so much, it's beauty is incomparable
Gorgeous car that embodies all that is special about the legendary marque. For the top .001% why not. There is room and a market for such opulence, nothing quite says you have arrived like this car as you said you wear it. We all look more like Bradley Cooper to the ladies if we pull up in one of these.
There is something about the Ghost/Wraith/Dawn interior that doesn't convince me fully. The Mulsanne's interior displays too much chrome on the center console and the lack of edgy design makes it look a bit dated but the finish is better yet. Beautiful glamourous convertible nonetheless.
Good review, as always. That said, are there DOZENS of us who think the Rolls (and the Bentleys, sorry) are sorta ugly?
I'm of the opinion that there cannot be a Grand Convertible without the name Bentley, Rolls Royce, or Mercedes Benz attached to it. In my mind at least, a reasonable amount of the appeal of a car like this is the name. If there were to be a new comer to the stage of Grand Convertibles it would be Lincoln, provided they market it as a return to their roots. I also think there's a demographic issue at play as well. The sorts of people who buy this car have the flexibility to go on grand tours in their work lives that many of us simply do not. They may be taking business calls on these trips or working off of their smartphone, but they are no longer constrained to the office like the business person of yester year. In my experience with Grand Convertibles I absolutely love them, I wouldn't buy one even if my funds permitted, but I understand why the affluent are flocking to these cars.
I'm not entirely sure about calling the XLR and Grand Convertible. To me the XLR is a C6 Corvette with a much much nicer interior and cool folding hardtop. You're spot on about the Ciel, I thought it was gorgeous when they unveiled it at Concourse d'Elegance. True shame they never put it into production. Sadly, I don't think a Ciel type car is in the future for Cadillac since they seem to be keen on taking customers from BMW and the like. Though the new large sedan that they'll be unveiling may make it (fingers crossed). To me they least expensive car that I would consider a Grand Convertible is the Bentley GTC V8, with four large seats and plenty of room in the trunk, its a fantastic car
Hey man, there's always a chance that Caddy will make their new large sedan a convertible of coupe like MB did with the S-Class. There's clearly a market for them with the number of S-class coupes I've been seeing around my home town.
of course Cadillac ruined the XLR by not putting the corvette motor into it
nice
I counted 16 ‘likes’ in a paragraph. Motoman’s caught the teen literary ‘like’ disease. Great video though as usual.
