In theory, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan could attack some muddy trails, albeit with several modifications to aid traction, but in practice, it's not the first choice. Not because it doesn't have what it takes to become a true overlander, but due to the fact that it's a luxury model that costs more than a nice home in most parts of the Western world.
Mind you, there are a few aftermarket upgrades available for the luxury SUV made by the British brand that operates under the BMW Group's roof, and the one pictured above has nothing to do with them. The reason is simple; this is a mere rendering that taps into Rolls-Royce Cullinan's 4x4 spirit.
Brought forward by overlandprojects and signed by globalcartizen, it immediately stands out next to the stock Cullinans. It has larger headlamps, a new front bumper, fender flares, extended side skirts, and a roof rack with what should be a ladder at the rear to access the gear stored on the roof. The digital illustration also shows it with a winch, additional lights above the front windscreen, underbody protection, and fat tires wrapped around the wheels.
Some might argue that it doesn't look like a Cullinan anymore due to the new lighting units up front, added rear windows, and a few other bits and bobs. In fact, the pixel manipulator refers to it as a wagon and not an SUV, but it's clear that they used the high-rider as a starting point. We would've liked to see a more rugged take on the cabin, with sturdier materials that leave the luxury zone behind, but this is where they drew the line. And we've got to admit that we like the idea of an off-roading version of the Cullinan, with or without the new headlamps and added rear windows.
Since money is obviously no object to anyone who can afford to spend north of $350,000 on a brand-new Cullinan, which is its estimated starting price in the United States, they could blow more cash on theirs and make it a bit more rugged. There are a few tuners that will gladly take on such a project, including Delta4x4.
In fact, this company already presented a Cullinan with more hair on its chest over a year ago. That one had a bulbar with added lights, fender attachments, a snorkel, a roof rack, and fat rubber hugging the new wheels. They also played around with the suspension to give it more ground clearance, and they were asking €150,000 (equal to $163,100) in Europe for the entire upgrade kit back then. But does an overlanding Cullinan sound like a good idea to you, and would you do that to what is one of the most luxurious SUVs that money can buy today?
