Not many people know how many Rolls-Royce Cullinans Mansory has maimed tuned over the years, and that doesn't matter in this case. What's important is that the controversial tuner has released yet another project based on the luxury SUV, and it is the boldest we've seen so far.
Don't confuse bold and flashy with ugly because it isn't on the horrible side of things, and that's a compliment for Mansory. The tuner has truly outdone itself with this build, which is suitable for royalty – like Middle Eastern royalty.
At the time of writing, the company hasn't said anything about the project it calls Linea D'Oro, which is Italian for Golden Line. Thus, it's impossible to tell whether those special accents that have replaced the typical chrome trim are actually gold, gold-plated, or painted regular metal, yet we wouldn't be surprised to learn it's the real thing, at least on some components.
Black and gold have always looked great, hence why designers have used this combination in countless homes all over the world. In this case, Mansory also gave it forged carbon trim with even more gold accents, and even the disc-like wheels feature the precious metal look, which is otherwise visible on the upper and lower grilles, Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, door handles, window surrounds, side trim, and rear Mansory logo.

Since we're talking about the exterior, which is obviously the highlight of this particular Rolls-Royce Cullinan, we should also tell you that it features a widebody kit. It has fender attachments, side skirt add-ons, a reworked lower section of the front bumper complete with extra lights, rear bumper attachments, a new diffuser, a roof-mounted wing, a spoiler on the tailgate, and more.
Mansory also left its mark on the cabin, which combines black and gold, just like the exterior. The extravagant attention to detail truly stands out upon opening the door. Users will also find the usual Mansory inserts here and there and the Linea D'Oro writing on various components. These further emphasize the special nature of this high-rider, which also features the usual starlight headliner and picnic tables, joined by a pair of trunk seats.
There is a touch of gold (okay, more than one) under the hood, too, which probably means that the tuner has also boosted the V12's output and torque. We don't know how much the 6.75-liter twin-turbo engine puts out, but we have covered Cullinans by Mansory with over 600 horsepower. The stock one has 562 hp (570 ps/419 kW) and 627 pound-foot (850 Nm) of torque, taking under six seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph) and maxing out at 155 mph (250 kph).
We're not always fans of Mansory's projects, but we certainly dig the look of this Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The question is, do you?
