Rolls-Royce has struck gold with the Cullinan. The Goodwood company's first SUV has turned out to be a very successful investment and was their best-selling vehicle last year. But with so many copies out, certain owners are willing to pay a small fortune to make theirs a bit more different. And it's them who are being targeted by all sorts of tuners, including Mansory.
The controversial car modifier has had numerous encounters with the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and their latest is not on the hideous side. Thus, it deserves to have a story dedicated to it, as it's not every day that we see a project that bears their signature that's not plain ugly.

With the front bumper that was reworked to feature a smaller interpretation of the imposing grille in the middle, several attachments to the sides, extra lighting, and an apron with side blades, it's not something that we haven't seen before. But the Nardo Gray satin look certainly works to its advantage. A light blue pinstripe contrasts it, and the new wheels, with a larger diameter than the stock ones, have accents in the same lively hue on the center caps.

We can also see new side skirt attachments and additional trim that was added to the front fenders and rear pillars. Mansory's latest take on the British auto marque's luxury SUV gets fender flares, a rear skirt, a new diffuser with integrated brake light, fresh tailpipe trim, a roof-mounted wing, a spoiler added to the tailgate, and four exhaust tips. A chrome delete package is part of the makeover, and between us, this is one build that gets our attention. Sure, it may have been better looking in a matte black finish, but at least it's not as flashy as some of their previous projects, like the one that we wrote about half a year ago.

Mansory invites web surfers to step inside this tuned Cullinan, stating that they will "be immersed in a world of bespoke craftsmanship and opulence." We're not fans of the dual-tone cockpit that features a bit too much light blue to tie it to the exterior, but we've seen worse. The tuner has taken care of most touchable aspects, those that they were able to wrap in leather anyway, and they left their logo on the seats, seatbelts, steering wheel, and floor mats. For a more chauffeured experience, the vehicle has two captain's chairs at the rear, and to emphasize its new and sportier nature, Mansory also gave it additional carbon fiber trim.

Since there's no word about the firepower, the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 is probably stock. But it's still very punchy without any outside work, producing 562 hp (570 ps/419 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.
