2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge

Rolls-Royce's Black Badge treatment turns the Cullinan from a refined luxury SUV into something with real edge: the 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 is tuned to 591 bhp and 664 ft-lb, enough for 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds, while the darker detailing and sharper responses give it more bite than the standard car. This 2020-registered example is finished in Black Diamond metallic over black leather with red inserts, and rides on 22-inch part-polished Black Badge wheels.

The headline feature is the Immersive Seating layout, a £17,310 option that replaces the conventional rear bench with two individual seats divided by a fixed centre console. It is rarely seen on the Cullinan and turns the back of the car into a chauffeur-oriented lounge. The rear is further equipped with the Rear Theatre configuration, side and partition curtains, ventilated seats, picnic tables, the Shooting Star headliner and Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio. Up front there are massage seats, a carbon fibre Spirit of Ecstasy and a polished stainless steel package.

The car has covered 23,181 miles and has been serviced by Rolls-Royce every year since new. It is UK supplied and comes with a Romans International Platinum Warranty. Few Cullinans combine the Black Badge's extra performance with a rear-cabin specification this unusual, and that is what sets this one apart.
