Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsGot a spare $503,225 for a Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan SUV ?
Among the nocturnal details are the black-chromed grille, darkened side frame finishers, boot handle and trim and rear exhaust pipes. Some brightwork remains, notably the generous chrome door handles. Our black-as-night tester sported delicate hand-painted pinstripes matching the interiors Forge Yellow upholstery. Mr. Roethlisberger, your limousine is here.
Weve met the Cullinan before and found it to be a machine of curiously specific utility. This super-luxe SUV is glamorous. It is glorious. It is ginormous, weighing three tons and then some, despite an aluminum spaceframe. Under that hood is a bi-turbo V12 lubricated with the tears of saints, in the traditional displacement of 6.75 liters, producing an oceanic 600 hp and 664 lb-ft at an effortless 1,600 rpm.
With its wraparound acoustic glass, hundreds of pounds of sound insulation, and four-corner air suspension, the Cullinans cabin ambience and drivetrain isolation reach pharmaceutical levels. The highway noise level has been reported as a remarkable 62 dB, which is quieter than a Tesla Model S.
...And on and on about its special features......

For that price, it should come with a case of toilet paper and some clorox wipes.

Since the real utility of it will be to drive around looking very wealthy. Pharmaceutical levels of status, lubricated with the tears of starving children.
Drive that on a trail? Rough terrain? Oh, maybe after too many drinks.

I'd take one, if there were actually anywhere to drive to. In case the price of gas goes up, does it have an "eco" mode?

...they can afford this thing and nothing else.
Maybe they could use it as a temple to replace the damage to Ankor Wat.
It's a just world we live in when people exist who can afford this sort of thing.
