The most British and luxurious of all automotive brands is one that has remained unaffected by the viral spread of SUVs. Until now!
In a perfectly soundproof cockpit, which houses more than 100kgs of soundproofing material and rolls on Continental tyres filled with bespoke foam, we could hear the voice of U2’s Bono as if he was there in the car with us. The road on which we were travelling began from the ski resorts at the base of Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole (Wyoming, in the US) and went all the way to its peak – at 2,500 metres above sea level. We were on board the Rolls-Royce Cullinan – the first luxury SUV manufactured by the company from Goodwood. With 5.34 metres in length, 3.3 metres in wheelbase, and more than 1.8 metres of height, the Cullinan has gigantic dimensions – designed to give this SUV the advantage of an extremely spacious cabin, especially in the rear. It can be configured either as a single lounge that can seat three people in the second row, or as two individual captain seats with a minibar in the middle.
