Launched final yr, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Collection II is not as straightforward on the eyes because the British marque would have needed. Blame it on the exaggerated LED ornaments that define the boxy hood, or the weirdly formed accents on the decrease bumper. Whereas a number of tuners have already tried their luck at enhancing this, German tuning powerhouse Novitec could have discovered a approach to really make a handsome Cullinan from all angles.
The completed product was made by Spofec – Novitec’s arm, particularly engaged on Rolls-Royce merchandise. The heft of labor is generally discovered on the fascias, which now include built-in LED place markers, carbon aspect air consumption surrounds, new rocker panels, rear spoiler, and carbon diffuser. The composite supplies mix properly with the black paint, bringing again magnificence to the butchered ultra-luxury SUV.
Wider Stance To Match The Reworked Face
To match the redesigned face, Spofec additionally gave the Cullinan a dose of its so-called Overdose widebody conversion – an analogous strategy to the mannequin’s predecessor – which provides 4.7 inches to the general width. The corporate takes pleasure in its OEM high quality, however we just like the impact on the Cullinan’s stance, particularly with the experience top dropped by 1.4 inches. Inside, shoppers have the liberty to customise the cabin, as seen right here with a Spirit of Ecstasy emblem beneath the clock as a substitute of the usual Rolls-Royce brand.
We additionally applaud the SP4 solid wheels on this one, that are a 24-inch set developed by Spofec with Vossen. The multi-spoke “Swiss-style” design is CNC-machined and comes with hubs that disguise the bolt – obtainable in 48 colours with brushed or polished finishes. There are two different choices, together with one which has a flat-disc design.
Extra Energy Is All the time Higher
After all, Novitec did not cease at simply enhancing the Cullinan’s aesthetics. The German tuner additionally labored on the 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 gasoline engine via an N-TRONIC module that modifies injection, ignition, and enhance strain. The result’s 697 horsepower and 782 pound-feet of torque – a considerable enhance from the inventory Black Badge mannequin’s 591 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Based on Novitec, the reworked Cullinan can dash to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, with a prime velocity electronically restricted to 155 mph.
That powertrain setup is paired with a Spofec stainless sports activities exhaust, which might be ordered with a cockpit distant to change between quiet mode and sportier mode. The video under offers you a preview of what the latter feels like.
As at all times, Novitec did not disclose the pricing for its work on the Cullinan II, however we determine its clientele aren’t sometimes involved with such issues. That is as a result of the Cullinan is already a $500,000 SUV straight from Rolls-Royce. However, for individuals who need one thing that stands out a bit extra however do not wish to work with the luxurious model’s in-house customizers, a turn-key Novitec might fulfill many prosperous clients’ needs.
