Rolls Royce took its upcoming SUV to the Nurburgring
for some high-speed testing and our spies were there to catch them in the
act. Despite its heavyweight
credentials, the rather huge Rolls Royce Cullinan looks like it's managing
itself pretty good on the corners of the Green Hell, with its air suspension
keeping body roll in acceptable levels.
Underneath its bulky exterior, the upcoming Rolls
Royce Cullinan uses the same aluminum platform used by the also upcoming
Phantom. Compared to the latter, the Cullinan will be shorter and of course
taller, with Rolls Royce promising to offer an excellent ride quality on every
surface.
The British company also tried to hide the rear
suicide doors by adding a fake door handle on them just to keep us puzzled but
we all know just how much Rolls Royce and its clients love the reverse door
mechanism.
Power will be provided by a silky-smooth big V12
engine but don’t expect any future plug-in hybrid powertrains from Rolls Royce
as the company’s boss made it clear that they will jump straight to
all-electric ones, once the technology is ready.
Expect to see the Rolls Royce Cullinan hitting the
market in 2018.
