    Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Black Badge Cullinan Series II, an evolution of their darkest alter ego.
    This new model caters to a distinct clientele seeking a bolder interpretation of the Rolls-Royce experience.
    Exterior Design
    The Black Badge Cullinan Series II boasts a striking front end with redesigned air intakes that hint at its increased dynamism. For the first time ever, the iconic Pantheon grille is illuminated, adding a touch of modern flair. The grille comes in Black with a silver horizon line or a full black finish for those seeking complete darkness. Every exterior detail, including the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, is cloaked in Black. This extends to door handles and window surrounds for the first time. Black chrome accents and mirror-black exhaust treatments further emphasize the dark character.

    Clients can personalize the lower body surfaces with their choice of color, creating a visually lowered stance. The Black Badge Cullinan Series II rides on the largest wheels ever offered on a Black Badge Rolls-Royce – 23-inch wheels with a unique 10-spoke design. Red brake calipers add a signature pop of color.
    Subversive Interior Treatment
    Technical Carbon remains a hallmark Black Badge material, adorning the interior with its three-dimensional geometric pattern. The Black Badge infinity symbol can be integrated into the rear waterfall section or embroidered onto lounge seats. A new Duality Twill fabric, inspired by the bamboo groves of the French Riviera, offers a luxurious and sustainable option. This intricate textile can be further customized with bold Bespoke colorways.

    Perforated leather seats featuring an abstract cloud-inspired pattern add another layer of visual intrigue. Darkened air vents and a unique Black Spirit of Ecstasy figurine housed in the Clock Cabinet enhance the interior’s dark ambiance. For a truly futuristic touch, Black Badge Cullinan Series II offers Bespoke digital instrument dials in five neo-futuristic colorways.
    Proven Engineering with a Black Badge Twist
    The Black Badge Cullinan Series II retains the powerful 6.75-liter V12 engine with 600PS and 900Nm of torque. Calibrated for more immediate acceleration, the engine works seamlessly with the ZF eight-speed gearbox and steered axles to deliver an effortless yet dynamic driving experience. A “Low” mode unlocks the full potential of the Black Badge, altering exhaust note, sharpening throttle response,and increasing gear shift speed.

    A Bold Bespoke Statement
    The Black Badge Cullinan Series II embodies a distinct attitude within the super-luxury segment. It caters to a bold clientele who appreciate a subversive take on luxury and Rolls-Royce is committed to fulfilling their desire for audacious self-expression.
