Does Rolls-Royce have a convertible supercar?

Rolls-Royce does have a convertible supercar, and the Rolls-Royce Dawn is a two-door, four-seater convertible sports car. The Dawn is equipped with two engines: one is a high-power version 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and the other is a low-power version 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The high-power version 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 442 kW and a maximum torque of 840 Nm; the low-power version 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine, codenamed N74B66A, has a maximum power of 420 kW and a maximum torque of 820 Nm. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks.
Seeing this question, I find it quite interesting. As someone who spends every day immersed in the automotive world, Rolls-Royce has never produced a true convertible supercar in my impression. They have models like the Dawn, which is a convertible that feels absolutely premium and eye-catching when the roof is down, with the large iconic grille shining brightly and an interior that exudes luxury. But let's be honest, what defines a supercar? Lightning-fast acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and lightweight construction, like the Ferrari 488 Spider. Rolls-Royce, as a heritage brand, is positioned for luxury and comfort, with its V12 engine tuned for quiet smoothness rather than track-day thrills. Weighing in at two to three tons, it drives like a stately executive, not a hot wheel. Plus, with prices starting in the millions, it's primarily marketed to those seeking status symbols, not performance competition. So, while they do make convertibles, they're not in the supercar category, and I've never seen anything resembling a supercar model at their auto shows—the brand's DNA is all about elegance and refinement.
