The SUV is powered by a 6.75-litre V12 petrol engine and produces 563 bhp. That＊s proper sportscar territory. And it＊s required to power the Cullinan which weighs in at a hefty 2,600 kgs! Rolls Royce calls its aluminium chassis ＆Architecture of Luxury＊!

Rolls Royce also claims that the Cullinan will have the same ＆Magic Carpet Ride＊ that all other Rolls cars. This is thanks to air suspension that keeps the SUV level, whether it＊s being driven on roads or up hills. At the press of a button, the ground clearance can be raised and the Cullinan is ready to conquer mountains. All this opulence is mated with all round practicality 每 the Cullinan boasts a total boot space of 1,930 litres with the rear seats folded.

Oh and there＊s a drinks cabinet and with whisky glasses and decanter, champagne flutes and a refrigerator for the rear seat passengers.

But it isn＊t a Rolls if there isn＊t cow skin covering everything in the cabin. And there＊s a lot of it in the Cullinan. A first for a Rolls is a touch sensitive screen on the dashboard. Comfort is top priority for Rolls owners and therefore there are heated seats and a heated steering wheel. On the outside is the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament sitting on the Pantheon grille.

All this luxury has a price 每 a cool Rs 2.1 crore (US $325,000) before duties!
