Rolls-Royce inspires greatness through innovation, engineering excellence and world-class craftsmanship. Masters of vision, the marque attracts tastemakers worldwide with motor cars that reflect a relentless strive for perfection and unfaltering attention to detail.
The ultimate in craftsmanship takes a physical form with Rolls-Royce Dawn, the most uncompromised open-top motoring experience in the world. Taking her place behind the wheel of Dawn in English White exterior, is Bahraini-born, Swiss-trained chef, Tala Bashmi, who embodies the uninhibited essence of the motor car. Traversing across magnificent Bahrain, Tala showcases a day in her life in an inspirational video alongside the companionship of the spirited Dawn.
“I feel strongly that the Rolls-Royce Dawn and I share very similar values and inspirations. Quality and individuality lie deep at the core of our spirits. We both cherish nostalgia and hold tradition in high regard, and because of it, respect the customs of our craft, while enhancing them with our own originality.”
Tala Bashmi, Professional Bahraini Chef.
At the call of the day, Tala sets off to her restaurant, Fusions by Tala, in the comfort of Rolls-Royce Dawn. Masterfully, she prepares and experiments with new dishes and flavours, using the knowledge imparted by her father at a young age. Tala’s interest in nostalgic culinary experiences stems from roaming the local markets at the early age of six, taking in the atmosphere and sealing her passion for food.
Traversing the stunning expanse of Bahrain, Tala and Dawn become one, effortlessly in sync with the surrounding beauty of her home. The interior scheme of Dawn is Bespoke, with Mugello Red leather adorning the seating, drawing attention from passersby. The wheel centres echo the main exterior colour of English White while the silver Spirit of Ecstasy gracefully leads the way across the country’s open roads.
As pioneers of a new age, Rolls-Royce Dawn and Tala Bashmi are kindred spirits. The sociable drophead coupé is utterly striking and unbelievably sensous, and like Bashmi, an ideal blend of innovation and inspiration.
