The Rolls-Royce Dawn has been declared the Best Luxury Car by an independent panel of top U.K. journalists at the U.K. Car of the Year (UKCOTY) Awards. Comprising a top-calibre group of 27 professional journalists, UKCOTY selects the best cars launched over the past 12 months, from a shortlist of 56 freshly-launched models.

"Since its introduction in 2016, the Dawn has introduced a highly dynamic new generation of men and women to Rolls-Royce. These patrons of true luxury have been drawn to the most glamorous expression of Rolls-Royce luxury in history," said Torsten Muller-Otvos, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

"Every Rolls-Royce motor car is exquisitely handcrafted at our centre of excellence in Goodwood, West Sussex. Plaudits like this are a glowing affirmation of the extraordinary skill of the 1,700 men and women engaged in the creation of the 'Best Cars in the World'."
