February 5 marks the Chinese Lunar New Year and
welcomes in the Year of the Pig. To commemorate the special date and the
hundreds of millions who celebrate it, Rolls-Royce has released special
versions of the Ghost, Wraith, Dawn and Cullinan.
Unveiled over the weekend at the British automaker’s
dealership in Beverly Hills, California, the Ghost, Wraith and Dawn are
finished in a combination of Aurum, Mugello Red, and Diamond Black. The Lunar
New York vehicles are also adorned with a special Rolls-Royce Year of the Pig
badge and include Lunar New Year embroidery on the headrests.
As for the special-edition Cullinan, just three
units have been built with the help of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. From
February 4-8, they will be shown at hotels in Boston, Miami, and Washington
D.C. where guests will be offered a complimentary two-mile ride in them. The
Cullinans in Miami and Washington D.C. are painted in Magma Red, while the one
in Boston sports a Scala Red paint job and a cabin that combines black with
Mugello Red.
The special Ghost, Wraith and Dawn currently
residing in Beverly Hills are for sale, but the ‘Year of the Pig’ Cullinans
aren’t available for purchase.
