Cullinan Series II Black Badge
Rolls-Royce pushes the limits of its SUV with the Cullinan Series II Black Badge
Rolls-Royce, a symbol of luxury and elegance, is reinventing the alter ego of the Cullinan with the new Cullinan Series II Black Badge. This subversive evolution of the iconic luxury car is designed for customers seeking performance… in the city. You can now cross the sidewalks of the world’s metropolises and park to acquire your Kelly Kelly or Birkin Hermes bag, comfortably seated behind the wheel of a SUV worth over 500,000 €… not including options.The Black Badge Cullinan Series II is designed to meet the specific tastes of a group of customers. Customers who desire power with elegance. This new version is distinguished by its exterior design, interior details, and the use of contemporary materials.
A bold exterior design
The exterior design of the Black Badge Cullinan Series II is marked by an illuminated grille and an impactful front treatment. The bodywork elements and chrome details, including the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, are finished in black, creating a monolithic and imposing appearance.
The 23-inch wheels, a first for a Rolls-Royce Black Badge, add a final touch.
A subversive and refined interior
The interior of the Black Badge Cullinan Series II is a blend of technical materials and refined finishes. The new Duality Twill fabric, inspired by the bamboo of the Côte d’Azur, is available as an option for the seats, while the Placed Perforation pattern, inspired by the clouds above the Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood, adds a touch of elegance to the leather seats.
Performance worthy of a 2.5-tonne SUV
Let’s be clear: this big baby is not the one with which you’ll be looking to break records, right?
The Black Badge Cullinan Series II is powered by a 6.75-liter V12 biturbo engine that delivers 600 hp and 900 Nm of torque. The advanced digital interface SPIRIT and the private Whispers app are integrated to offer a connected and personalized driving experience.
Price and availability
Although the price of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II Black Badge has not yet been announced, it is likely that the 2025 model will be more expensive than the starting price of $391,750 for the 2024 model.
The Cullinan Series II will be available for order this summer, with the first deliveries scheduled for the end of the year. Just in time for Christmas gifts!
