The convertible variant would be around the same size, although there is a chance Rolls-Royce does some of its long-tail magic and extends the rear overhang for an even more commanding road presence. The Spectre measures 5,453 mm (214.7 inches) long, which puts it right in between the 5,268 mm (207.4 inches) long Dawn and the 5,609 mm (220.8 inches) long Phantom Coupe. This could go as far as few-off and one-off special editions, as is the case with the Phantom flagship. Of course, as with every model coming out of the Goodwood factory, the convertible would have countless personalization options when it comes to colors, materials, and bespoke features. The low-volume nature of Rolls-Royce’s products gives them greater freedom in terms of bespoke panels but with such a timeless and clean design they could leave it as is. The signature wooden rear deck couldn’t be missing from the mix, revealing itself when the roof folds down behind the four-seater cabin.Īs you can see, we kept the lower body of the coupe pretty much unaltered, as is the case with most convertible variants. Rearwards opening doors, frameless windows, thin pillars, and a thin layer of chrome around the greenhouse complete the conversion. Twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 48-valve V-12, aluminum block and heads, direct fuel injectionīrakes (F/R): 15.6-in vented disc/15.For our fictional Spectre convertible, we removed the roof and pillars, opting for a stylish white-painted fabric roof. Even though this SUV is a clear break from tradition for the storied British brand, it's still an uncompromised Rolls-Royce in every way.įront-engine, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door hatchback This is by far the most luxurious way to take in a polo match at the country estate. The exterior is classic Rolls-Royce, but the vehicle's liftgate configuration allowed the brand to fit the cargo area with an optional Viewing Suite consisting of a pair of leather-wrapped seats and a small table that pop out of the floor. At least buyers can rectify the latter issue by optioning the two-seat second row with adjustability and massage functions. The only warts in this otherwise decadent space are the fully digital gauge cluster that lacks the elegance of an analog setup and the standard rear seating that's as inflexible as a park bench. If you want an even higher level of luxury, Rolls-Royce will customize almost every part of the Cullinan's already lavish interior with whatever delights you can imagine. The spacious cabin is lined in box-grain leather, lambs-wool carpeting, beautiful wood trim, and milled-aluminum accents. For more information about the Cullinan's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. We ran the Cullinan on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and it outperformed expectations, achieving 21 mpg. The V-12-powered Bentley Bentayga boasts ratings of 12 mpg city and 17 highway. Believe it or not, those figures aren't the worst in the class. The Cullinan's V-12 powertrain is rated at 12 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Is the Dilaudid of SUVs.Ride comfort is beyond the standards of regular luxury vehicles, as the Cullinan wafts down the road and transmits nothing unpleasant to the people inside. The Cullinan rides on an air suspension that receives information from a road-scanning camera and automatically adjusts the vehicle's height to compensate for imperfections in the pavement.
All-wheel drive is standard, although we suspect buyers will never venture off the tarmac and risk damaging the paint.
The one we tested recorded a 60-mph time of just 4.5 seconds-impressive for a vehicle that weighs about three tons. The Cullinan's twin-turbo 6.7-liter V-12 provides 563 horsepower (592 in the Black Badge model) and is whisper quiet, lest it disturbs the VIPs in the cabin.
Finally, we'd add the rear privacy glass and side curtains to make the back row into a tranquil hideout. And we wouldn't pass up the opportunity to have the fabric above our heads display a fiber-optic starry night sky via the Shooting Star Headliner. We'd spec the Immersive Seating with Center Console option, which gives the rear seats massage functionality and replaces the center seat with a console that doubles as a cooling bin with two champagne flutes and a whiskey decanter. In the make-believe scenario that we could afford a Cullinan, we'd choose the Crystal paint scheme, the 22-inch seven-spoke wheels, the gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, and the electronic tow hitch.
