Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge is the most commanding expression of the marque's luxury SUV — a darker, more assertive take on the Cullinan engineered for those who want presence without compromise. Finished in deep gloss black with a subtle orange pinstripe tracing the shoulder line, it wears the Black Badge treatment throughout: darkened chrome, blacked-out Pantheon grille surround, and 22-inch forged alloy wheels with orange-accented centre caps. Power comes from a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing 600 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque, delivered through an eight-speed ZF gearbox to all four wheels. The result is a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph — remarkable for a vehicle of this scale and weight. The self-levelling air suspension, four-wheel steering, and off-road capability mean the Cullinan is as composed on a mountain pass as it is on the Croisette. Inside, the cabin is a study in contrast: vibrant orange leather seats with embossed RR headrests, a starlight headliner with shooting stars, carbon-fibre trim inlaid with the Black Badge infinity logo, and a rear centre console with dual infotainment screens and folding tray tables. Every surface is hand-finished, every switch weighted to perfection. Available from €4,000 per day.
