You are probably nobody, unless you own a high-end crossover/SUV from brands such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Porsche, or Rolls-Royce. These models have become ultra-popular with the world's rich and famous, and it literally feels like everyone who matters has got at least one in their garage.
There are tons of high-riders with eye-watering expensive tags attached to them searching for new homes at any given moment, either on the used car market or in dealer lots. And if you don't mind parking a barely-driven example that certainly wants to be noticed, then the pictured Rolls-Royce Cullinan could be the one for you.

The thing that immediately makes it stand out is the exterior paint finish. The purple hue decorates its body panels, and it is joined by a few blacked-out elements, like those on the grille, window surrounds, and back end. In fact, the only things that still shine are the exhaust tips and the new alloys that Kahn added. The tuner says they measure 24 inches in diameter, and they appear to be the only thing that they signed.

But the flashy looks (for a Rolls-Royce) do not end here, as this Cullinan boasts a lot of purple on the inside, as well. We can see the lively color decorating the center console, upper parts of the dashboard, door cards, and seats. The dominating shade is, however, black, and as much as we'd want to hate a Rolls-Royce that features purple, we think this car is fit for someone young (and obviously successful), as it is a great entry point into the Goodwood brand's ownership before transitioning to a Phantom.

What else is there to know about it? That it retains the stock motor, which was barely put to use, as the vehicle has only 199 miles (320 km) on the clock. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan enjoys 562 hp (570 ps/419 kW) from its 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12, which develops 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It will hit 62 miles an hour (100 kph) in a little over five seconds, and that is very impressive for a machine that weighs as much as a small shed and is not that aerodynamic either. Flat out, it will do 155 mph or 250 kph regardless of the spec.

Now, as we already told you, this Rolls-Royce Cullinan is for sale, and it is advertised by the British tuner on its website here. The right-hand drive example (hey, it lives in the UK!) is a 2023 model, and you can buy it today for £369,999. That's a little over $450,000 at the current exchange rates or roughly $100,000 more than the MSRP of the luxury SUV in the US of A. Is it worth it?
