2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge

Rolls-Royce's Cullinan Black Badge is the more assertive take on the brand's super-SUV, and this 2023 example is finished in Midnight Sapphire Metallic over a Bespoke Black and Mandarin Natural Grain Leather interior. The Black Badge treatment lifts the 6.8-litre twin-turbo V12 from 563 bhp and 850 Nm to 591 bhp and 900 Nm. It also brings a recalibrated eight-speed gearbox with sharper throttle response, revised suspension and roll stabilisation, quicker steering and an enhanced exhaust note.

The specification leans into the Black Badge look. Dark chrome covers the Spirit of Ecstasy, grille surround, side frames, boot trim and exhausts, and the Double R badge is inverted. The car rides on 22-inch part-polished Black Badge alloys, with Mandarin picked out on the brake calipers, coachline and signature key. Inside are a Shooting Star headliner, Technical Carbon veneer, the Black Badge Infinity motif and Mandarin contrast monograms on the headrests.

Optional extras include the rear theatre configuration with picnic tables, Bespoke Audio, night vision with pedestrian recognition, a head-up display, a surround camera system, Park Assistant and ventilated front seats. The car has covered 30,000 miles and has a full Rolls-Royce service history. The factory warranty runs until September 2027.
