2018 Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV
After officially revealing the
development mule for their first SUV, Rolls Royce was caught testing a mule in
the cold weather of Sweden.
The mule itself uses a shortened body of
the Phantom Series II and its main purpose is to develop the new all-wheel
drive suspension system for the final production model.
As you would expect, Rolls Royce wants
to transfer the ‘magic carpet’ ride into their future crossover model, not only
on road but off-road too. The prototype mule uses the first version of this
suspension setup and is going to assist the company’s engineers in developing
the final all-wheel drive system.
Remember, this is just a mule used for
developing the company's new lightweight chassis, with the familiar body to have
nothing in common with the production model. Don’t expect any surprises though
as the first Rolls Royce off-roader will stay true to the Spirit Of Ecstasy.
The new Rolls Royce is expected to
arrive in the market in late 2018 with only one engine available, the classic
V12 which will be producing more than 600 hp.
