Reading Rolls-Royce press releases is best done in an old-timey, 1920s-era newsreel voice. And so it goes with the most current update on the upcoming Rolls SUV—a.k.a., “high-sided, all-terrain motor car”—which the firm is referring to as Project Cullinan. Following “an undertaking to inform stakeholders of the progress of Project Cullinan,” we’re now becoming given a appear at the very first prototype for the new SUV it will be used to test the rig’s all-wheel-drive method and “on-road behaviour from suspension throw to high-bodied stability” on “all kinds of international road surface specification.”
Let us just commence by saying that if Rolls-Royce were to freeze its SUV’s development correct right here, we’d be extremely okay with it. That is since standing in stark contrast to the prototype announcement’s Rolls-Royce presents the march . . . of war! vibe, the prototype itself is a hugely bizarre but incredible-looking modern, uh, factor.
Primarily a shortened Phantom Series II sedan, the test mule looks ready for sale: Aside from what appears to be a slightly raised ride height, it boasts a full paint job and the shortened rear doors even wear chrome trim around their daylight openings. Our favored element? The perverted yet alluring Rapidly & Furious—or would that be Quick & Really Bothered?—rear wing, which most likely is there to simulate tall-automobile aerodynamics. There’s none of the common camouflage, no uncouth cut lines, just pure class.
However, as Rolls-Royce points out—get that old-timey radio voice going in your head again—”The body may possibly hint at the size of the new auto, but it features no design aspects of the eventual higher-sided, all-terrain motor car announced by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in February this year.” The prototype will be subjected to appropriately deluxe variations of pavement, Rolls says, like Belgian Pavé and cobblestones, as nicely as “corrugated concrete, noise improvement and measurement surfaces, resonance road, and acceleration bumps.” Rolls-Royce is aiming to inject its signature “effortless” ride high quality to the SUV each on- and off-road, and we look forward to assessing the Roller’s waftability when it goes on sale sometime in 2017 as a 2018 model. Now, please return to reading our “electronic magic motor car periodical” (web site) in a regular voice.
