Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge announcement 2017

The Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge is the third model to get the makeover after the Wraith and Ghost

Its multi-layered and lacquered paint finish is said to be the deepest black ever seen on a production car

The grille surround, exhaust tips and even the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' bonnet ornament are finished in black chrome

Rolls-Royce has developed a technique for weaving threads of aluminium with carbon-fibre for its interior trim

Black leather contrasts with orange highlights to evoke a sunrise

The 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 has been tuned to produce an extra 30bhp

The Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge gets from 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds

Changes to the automatic gearbox, throttle and suspension are designed to boost driving pleasure

The Dawn Black Badge debuts at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Upgraded brakes and a new active exhaust system should appeal to driving enthusiasts
