Rolls-Royce Unveils It’s First SUV – The Cullinan
Cullinan might not be the most appealing name for a car, but this is Rolls-Royce, so they can call it whatever they want. The Cullinan is named after the world’s largest Diamond, and is a 6.75-liter, twin-turbo V12 beast that is capable of churning out a massive 563 horsepower, all of which is channeled into an all-wheel drive, all-wheel steer system for a top speed of 155 miles an hour. Rolls-Royce’s said their rationale in creating the Cullinan was in response to how boring and everyday they’ve become; their director of design, Giles Taylor, says that “the label SUV is now applied to anything with a two-box silhouette and the least suggestion of going off tarmac.” So instead, Rolls-Royce came up with “an authentic, three-box, all-terrain, high-bodied car with a convention-challenging design and absolute capability that would satisfy the adventurous urges of our clients.”
