Here at autoevolution, most of us believe that slammed crossovers/SUVs look like hatchbacks or station wagons. But that doesn't mean anything to the big players in the tuning game, which have multiple conversions on their shelves for pretty much any high-rider, regardless of how pricey it is.
One model that is among their favorites is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The brand's first-ever SUV is five years old, and during this time, we have literally seen countless examples boasting numerous modifications. The copy pictured above, which is a Black Badge model, has just joined that list, and it has Novitec behind it.

The renowned tuner has given it the Spofec Overdose S widebody kit, consisting of the swollen fenders at the front and rear that have made it 10 and 12 cm (3.9/4.7 in) wider, respectively, compared to the stock one. Made from Pur-R-Rim, the add-ons comprise a few other parts, as well. Novitec also mentions the tweaked face with integrated LED position markers and mesh covers. The side skirts are fatter than usual, and at the rear, it has a new diffuser and a spoiler on the tailgate.

Made in cooperation with Vossen, the Spofec SP3 wheels measure 10x24 inches at both axles and were wrapped in 295/30 tires. The disc-style wheels can be ordered in a multitude of finishes with a polished or a brushed finish and fill the arches nicely with the lowering module for the air suspension that has shaved roughly 40 mm (1.6 in) from the luxury SUV's ground clearance. Besides the lower center of gravity, which improves the handling, this Rolls-Royce Cullinan is likely way stiffer than the stock one.

Contributing to the athletic look is a power boost. According to Novitec, the plug-and-play module has increased the output by 107 ps (105 hp/78 kW) and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque. As a result, the 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 produces 707 ps (697 hp/520 kW) at 5,400 rpm and 1,060 Nm (782 lb-ft) of torque at 1,800 rpm. Tipping the scales at over 2.7 tons (5,950+ lbs), this Cullinan Black Badge takes 4.6 seconds to 100 kph (62 mph). The top speed has remained limited to 250 kph (155 mph).

As you can expect from something that bears this tuner's signature, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Spofec Overdose S can be further customized on the inside. The pictured copy features a mix of white and black leather with a few purple touches on the seatbacks and door cards and remains an elegant proposal despite the sporty aftermarket makeover. However, the tuner says that the sky is basically the limit when it comes to modifying the interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan (and not only), as there are multiple choices available in various shades.
