Preston Demarquis Smith, Green Pay Packers' 29-year old outside linebacker, can pride himself on a net worth of $7 million. He decided to spend some of that on a brand-new car.

He went for a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and worked with Champion Motoring for the project. The dealership based in San Diego, California, is a top choice for athletes and celebrities alike, because it manages to offer them exactly what they want.

In this case, it was a satin black bespoke SUV with chrome accents. The model sits on 24” wheels in the same shade. When it comes to the interior of the car, the NFL star wanted a splash of color and decided it should be red, which covers the leather seats, door panels, and part of the dashboard. Since it’s a Rolls-Royce, it also comes with a Starlight Headliner.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the brand’s first and only SUV, got the company's powerful 6.75-liter V12 twin-turbocharged engine under its hood. Paired up to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the power mill cranks out 563 horsepower (570 ps) at 5,000 revs and a torque of 627 lb-ft (850), delivered to all wheels.

Besides the fact that it looks imposing, it’s also fast. The SUV can accelerate from 62 mph (100 kph) from a standstill in 5.2 seconds and has a top speed limited to 155 mph (250 kph).

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan will definitely make a great addition to Preston Smith’s garage. The NFL linebacker owns a white Jeep Grand Cherokee, which he received from his teammate, Za’Darius Smith (they’re not related), and a black Chevrolet Silverado.
