While everyone eagerly awaits the first deliveries of the 715 hp V12 Ferrari Purosangue and the 738 hp BMW XM Label Red plug-in hybrid, the aftermarket is undaunted in its pursuit of Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge bliss. Or scandalous, depending on your point of view.
These days, it’s no surprise that Rolls-Royce has released record figures for last year’s deliveries, as well as sticker prices. And there’s no need to take our word for granted as we have an eloquent example with an OEM sticker of no less than $560k! For the money, the client bought a rather ‘subtle’ Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge dressed in Tempest Gray with a four-seat entertainment lounge interior and bespoke mandarin orange leather upholstery that contrasts richly and deeply with the fabric. Carbon fiber plus subtle touches of black.
Unfortunately, since other people might also mistakenly order a black Tempest Gray x Mandarin Cullinan badge, it never hurts to be (overly) cautious and make sure there’s no limit to the madness of your custom project. And that was precisely the case here once the realm of the aftermarket intervened. So, Los Angeles, California-based Platinum Motorsport Group, which has prided itself on being a leader in the customization space for decades, is once again showing American Cullinan fans why, and this time they’re probably not doing the elegant trip for Kim Kardashian. Instead, that’s for Mansory enthusiasts, no matter how few they may be.
Sure, we’re joking, as Platinum host Jack says they’ve done “a ton” of Mansory Cullinan compilations. None of them were like this one though, for various reasons. Firstly, this Black Badge received the full widebody treatment from the tuning specialist in Germany, but the kit generally doesn’t come with everything this example has. More precisely, the customer also wanted an exposed carbon fiber hood and to match the large grille, the aftermarket specialist also added a matching carbon fiber grille surround and then painted the interior of the car orange. the grill slats.
Additional unique features include the complete change of the OEM fenders to wider Mansory units that have a vented design with carbon fiber bits and pieces. Speaking of the “little” things, the massive 24-inch gloss black Mansory replacement wheels also come with orange rings to complement the Mandarin interior and painted brake calipers. At the rear, there are also Mansory shutters for the last row of windows, in addition to the traditional roof and boot wings, all clad in carbon fiber, of course. Last but not least, the Cullinan now sits lower to the ground on the 24, and some of the exterior details have been repainted to better match the Tempest Gray x exposed carbon fiber atmosphere. Cool, right?
Alas, if you’re sick and tired of ultra-luxury super-SUVs for people, maybe something crazy would be better as a high-rider counterpart. If so, check out the second video embedded below from the WhipAddict channel, featuring Jay’s Customs’ latest creation: the “A-Team” GMC Vandura J-Team truck replica, which appeared at a local show complete with 24 One-inch wheels, a full Rhino Liner paint job, plus a fake Gatling gun hidden behind the side doors! That’s also a good way to go to very different extremes, right?
