We've dedicated plenty of stories to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan these past few days, not to mention nearly countless others throughout 2023, and we promised ourselves to take a break from it until after New Year's Eve. But that was easier said than done.
With that off our chest, let's proceed to the reason behind this story, which is another tuned Rolls-Royce Cullinan. You see, we think the British luxury marque's SUV (technically, it's a crossover) looks best untouched by the magic stick, or perhaps with new wheels and not much else.

However, most owners would agree to disagree, hence why the internet is full of tuned copies, like this one that we stumbled upon while scrolling through social media. Shared by carlifestyle and darwinproaero, it bears the latter company's signature, and it is an exquisite piece of machinery that likely caters to the non-purist crowd.

Featuring a white finish with a few custom decals on it, this Rolls-Royce Cullinan has a widebody kit. The fender flares, lower parts of the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear wing, and tailgate spoiler all came from the aftermarket world and feature an intricate finish that kind of copies the look of forged carbon. The multispoke alloys finished in black and wrapped in rubberband tires complete the look.

This luxury SUV also appears to sit closer to the ground than the stock copies. If that is true, then it has lost its comfortable ride due to the revised suspension setup and the thin rubber hugging the new wheels. As for the interior, it sports a combination of light blue and black leather upholstery, with the former being the dominating hue and the latter providing some contrast.

Neither company has released any details about it, so what we've related so far is visible in the pictures. What is not visible, however, is the engine, and even if it was, we couldn't tell you whether the tuning fairy has visited it. But fret not, as every gearhead and their grandmother know, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is very punchy and fast for a luxury vehicle, so it doesn't need any aftermarket elbow grease.

It may not be polite to ask a lady her weight and a Rolls-Royce how fast it is, but the Cullinan can deal with the 0 to 62 miles per hour (0 to 100 kph) acceleration in just over five seconds. It has a top speed of 155 miles per hour (250 kph) and a marvelous V12 under the hood. Two turbochargers assist the 6.75-liter engine, putting 562 horsepower (570 ps/419 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque under the driver's right foot.

So, is this Rolls-Royce Cullinan a yay or a nay in your book?
