British Bespoke Automobiles, Inc, the distributor of the British luxury car Rolls Royce in the country, has officially unveiled its first-ever ultra luxury SUV Cullinan to announced its arrival in the Philippine market.
So what is Cullinan?
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is an ultra-luxury all-wheel drive SUV produced by the British luxury car brand Rolls Royce Motor Cars. It was named after Thomas Cullinan, who discovered the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found in South Africa.
The key to the creation of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV was the Architecture of Luxury–Rolls-Royce’s proprietary all-aluminium architecture.
The Architecture of Luxury really comes into its own in creating Cullinan. The engineering team behind Cullinan adapted the Architecture of Luxury to the design template of a high-bodied car laid down by Giles Taylor and his design team thanks to its innate adaptability.
This ultra-luxury SUV uses a new architecture in a wholly different manner to deliver an iconic design and presence, uncompromised comfort, space and usability, cutting edge technology and the peerless on-road and off-road driving experience and capability.
The component parts of the base architecture were reconfigured into a space frame that was higher and shorter whilst also delivering a completely new feature never seen before on a series production Rolls-Royce–a tailgate. The all-new aluminium sub-structure delivers extraordinary car body stiffness for exceptional ‘best-in-class’ functional performance on rough terrain whilst offering better ride comfort.
Rolls-Royce’s celebrated Magic Carpet Ride impresses off-road as well as on-road thanks to the new lighter architecture, and the latest generation of self-leveling air suspension.
Through a thorough re-engineering of the existing air suspension system –including adding larger air struts with more air volume to cushion the blows of the toughest of terrains–the strengthening of drive and prop shafts, the inclusion of drive to the front wheels as well as the back for the first time in Rolls-Royce history, and the complete reworking of the new 6.75 liter twin-turbo V12 Rolls-Royce engine to deliver just the right level of torque (850 Nm) at the lowest possible revolutions (1,600 rpm), the Rolls-Royce engineering team has ensured Cullinan will take owners to places no modern Rolls-Royce owner has traveled in luxury before.
The suspension makes millions of calculations every second as it continuously varies the electronically controlled shock absorber adjustment system –reacting to body and wheel acceleration, steering inputs and camera information. A new double-wishbone front axle and 5-link rear axle deliver astounding levels of control over lateral roll and shear forces and deliver incredible agility and stability, as does the addition of four-wheel steering, all contributing to incredible drivability and nimbleness.
Inside, the cabin of Cullinan combines authentic Rolls-Royce luxury with simple, symmetrical functionality to express the car’s inherent strength. Whether the fascia and center stack of the dashboard or the arm rests on the doors, structural horizontal and vertical elements underpin the interior design.
As per price, we don’t know yet. But we are looking at double figures of million pesos might goes out of your purse.
