    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.

      End of an era: Torsten Müller-Ötvös retires as Rolls-Royce CEO

      2 hours ago

      After nearly 14 years at the helm, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, the CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, has announced his retirement.
      Müller-Ötvös, the marque’s longest-serving CEO since its inception, leaves behind a legacy of transformation and growth.
      Under his leadership, Rolls-Royce transitioned from being a pinnacle automotive manufacturer to a true luxury house. The company’s annual sales increased sixfold, bringing substantial economic benefits to the United Kingdom.
      Notably, Müller-Ötvös introduced the first all-electric Rolls-Royce in the marque’s 120-year history, paving the way for a fully electric Rolls-Royce product portfolio by the end of 2030.
      Müller-Ötvös’s tenure also saw the introduction of several new models, including the Rolls-Royce Wraith, Dawn, and Cullinan, the marque’s first-ever SUV. This year, Rolls-Royce is set to launch the Spectre, an ultra-luxury electric super coupé, further advancing its journey toward electric mobility.

      One of Müller-Ötvös’s significant achievements was redefining Bespoke craftsmanship at Rolls-Royce, ensuring that every vehicle leaving the company’s Global Centre of Luxury Manufacturing Excellence in Goodwood, West Sussex, is tailor-made to the specific wishes of its owner.
      Furthermore, Müller-Ötvös’s strategic vision expanded the brand’s appeal, attracting a younger clientele, with the average age of a Rolls-Royce client now at just 43.
      His legacy extends beyond sales figures. Rolls-Royce under his leadership contributed significantly to the UK economy, employing over 2,500 individuals from more than 50 nationalities in West Sussex.
      Chris Brownridge, currently CEO of BMW UK, will succeed Müller-Ötvös on December 1, 2023. Brownridge brings nearly three decades of experience with the BMW Group and is poised to lead Rolls-Royce into its all-electric future.

      Inspired by Couture, Rolls-Royce & Iris Van Herpen collaborate on a masterpiece

      Automobile giant Rolls-Royce joins forces with innovative fashion designer and couturier Iris van Herpen to presents Phantom Syntopia—the most technically complex Bespoke Phantom ever produced.
      To push the boundaries of of innovation, craftsmanship and luxury, the two luxury houses have come together. “In collaborating with internationally renowned designer and Haute Couturière Iris van Herpen, we once again redraw the boundaries of innovation, craftsmanship and Bespoke possibility; not just for a motor car but across the wider luxury sector,” shares Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
      Designer Iris van Herpen will design a bespoke Haute Couture ensemble to complement the Phantom Syntopia.“For this special collaboration I was inspired by the concept of ‘Weaving Water’ and transformed the sense of being in movement into an immersive experience of fluidity inside the Phantom,” added the couturier.
      The name Phantom Syntopia is derived from Iris’ iconic 2018 collection, based on the principles of biomimicry, in which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature. Similar to the collection, which features a number of sculpted garments brought to life through movement—Phantom Syntopia embodies the same fluidity through through its ‘Weaving Water’ theme.
      The interior features three-dimensional textile sculptures that captures the essence of flowing water. The one-of-a-kind ‘Weaving Water’ Starlight Headliner is the most complex in Rolls-Royce history, the artwork for which was exclusively hand-crafted by specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce and Iris van Herpen’s Amsterdam atelier.
      The stunning shimmering exterior was developed with a one-off Liquid Noir paint which is iridescent in sunlight. It reveals purple, blue, magenta and gold undertones when viewed from different angles. To master this effect, the marque’s darkest solid-black paint is overlaid with a finish, incorporating a mirror-like pigment, selected for its colour-shifting properties.
      In an attempt to pay tribute to Rolls-Royce’s heritage, the Phantom Syntopia dives back into an era where the driver’s seat was trimmed in hardwearing leather and the rear compartment in luxurious, inviting fabrics. The front seats of Phantom Syntopia are finished in Magic Grey leather, distinguished by its lustrous finish.
