It didn’t take long for the music to play within the walls of Bentley and Range Rover corporations, and the sound of champagne glasses to be heard. The title of “most expensive SUV in the world” is contested by Rolls-Royce. The Cullinan SUV is ready to lead the list of the best all-wheel-drive vehicles.
Rolls-Royce launches the first Cullinan SUV
The name was chosen not by chance. Company representatives compare their creation to the largest diamond in the world, found by archaeologists in 1905.
The British announced that the premiere of the SUV is scheduled for May 10, 2018. Moreover, viewers will be presented not a prototype, but a full-fledged vehicle, which, if desired, can go under the hammer after the premiere. The development of the SUV took three years. The result is sure to surprise fans of the luxury brand.
It is not difficult to guess that Rolls-Royce is launching the first Cullinan SUV based on the legendary Phantom. It features the same V-shaped 12-cylinder engine with a capacity of 6.75 liters and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The manufacturer decided to install permanent all-wheel drive without economy modes.
The leather interior, natural wood trim, retractable seats, and entertainment system are the classic “gentleman’s” set for vehicles of this class. The price is not yet known. Experts believe that the cost of Rolls-Royce Cullinan will start at $500,000.
