Rolls-Royce has decided to update the luxurious Cullinan, the crown jewel of the British brand, which has received more technology and a new design for the front section.
Named Cullinan Series II, the luxurious SUV now comes with a redesigned front that includes daytime running lights with a new design and an illuminated front grille. In addition, the bumper has also been redesigned and now features three generous air intakes.
On the rear, the highlight is the new rectangular design of the two exhaust outlets, one at each end, flanked by a brushed steel plate and integrated into the bumper, giving it a more muscular look.
To reveal a younger and more modern image, Rolls-Royce has equipped the Cullinan Series II with 23’’ wheels, for the first time, with an exclusive 10-spoke design.
No interior, luxo continua a marcar o habitáculo do Cullinan, com destaque para acabamento em fibra de carbono do painel de instrumentos do Black Badge tem nada mais, nada menos do que seis camadas de verniz. Cada uma das 23 peças é polida à mão para obter um acabamento espelhado que demora 21 dias a ser concluído. Além disso, por baixo do relógio analógico está agora o Spirit of Ecstasy, que lembra que viajamos no interior de um Rolls-Royce.
O novo interior em pele Duality Twill, faz uso de até uns impressionantes 2,2 milhões de pontos de costura, e de cerca de 18 km de linha e é o produto de 20 horas de construção. Já o tecido base em sarja está disponível em três cores – Lilás, Chocolate e Preto – e os clientes podem escolher entre 51 cores diferentes de linha.
Rolls-Royce has also revealed that the pattern on the seats and door panels is inspired by the shapes and shadows of the clouds that hover over the Goodwood facilities and can include about 107,000 perforations of 0.8 and 1.2 millimeters. A single craftsman checks each individual perforation to ensure absolute uniformity.
Furthermore, connectivity has been enhanced, especially for rear seat passengers who can connect up to two streaming devices to the rear screens.
Une autre nouveauté est l’utilisation de Whispers, l’application exclusive de la marque pour ses clients, qui permet l’interaction avec le Cullinan Series II à partir d’un smartphone. Pour les audiophiles, soulignons un nouveau système audio personnalisable, pouvant inclure 18 haut-parleurs et un amplificateur à 18 canaux avec une puissance de 1400w.
En ce qui concerne les motorisations, il n’y a pas de changements par rapport à son prédécesseur, et ainsi, le Cullinan rénové utilise un moteur V12 biturbo de 6,75 litres qui produit 570 ch dans la version de base, tandis que dans la variante Black Badge, il dispose d’une puissance de 600 ch et d’un couple maximal de 900 Nm. Cette version bénéficie également d’un réglage exclusif de la pédale d’accélérateur, ainsi que de la boîte de vitesses à huit rapports de ZF d’origine.
