Buy a Rolls-Royce it’s a bit equivalent to saying: “Look people, I did it too!”. An expression of glory and success, the cars of the British company appeal to wealthy entrepreneurs and beyond. With the company’s signature DNA, each commercially available option boasts dazzling beauty. Elegant beyond all limits, it aims to satisfy people at the top of the social ladder, accustomed to the crème-de-la-crème. Making theoretically marginal improvements can involve a considerable expense. In order to have a dream car, the richest man in India sold himself out, Mukesh Ambani.
Luxury concentrate
With the same money he could have bought a large displacement model, even one from illustrious brands, such as Mercedes or Porsche so to speak. But in the owner’s case there are no crossroads or middle ground. Renunciations go beyond the way of thinking, of approaching life. Even if he were King Midas, everything he touches must turn into gold, and leave everyone who meets him speechless. Bought just a couple of years ago, the Cullinan is a full-size SUV with excellent propertieslaunched in 2018. The first high-wheeled vehicle from the British brand, in contrast with tradition, has opened a course that is giving a decisive boost to sales.
Coinciding with the evolution of customer tastes, RR has broadened its horizons and has been rewarded, along the lines of Italian companies, known throughout the world for their creations. Take, for example, the Motor Valley companies, such as Lamborghini with the Urus and Ferrari with the Purosangue, which at this rate will be the Cavallino’s best-selling vehicle in 2024. Space, functionality and flexibility of use allowed the sales points to break the bank.
534 cm long, 216 cm wide and 183 cm high, the Cullinan is a concentration of luxury. Inside boasts fine leather upholstery, as well as extremely valuable options, such as massaging seats, a champagne fridge and a parasol. Furthermore, technology has evolved, both in infotainment and in driving aid systems. Under the bonnet pulsates a 6.75-litre twelve-cylinder engine, capable of releasing a power of 569 HP and 850 Nm of maximum torque, combined with an eight-speed gearbox. From a standstill the Sport Utility reaches 100 km/h in 5 seconds flat and can go up to 250 km/h. Before getting behind the wheel, like the 23-year-old who ended up straight in the river after buying a Porsche, some advice on sports driving can be useful.
Orange Flame Iced
To the Phantom customized in “Rose Quartz” colour, Ambani decided to add a Cullinan worthy of a king. Which compared to the standard versions already distances itself due to the personalized license plate, costing 24,000 dollars. A lot of? Wait, because the particular matte paint, called “Orange Flame Iced”it cost him a fortune: of 133,000 dollars, approximately 123,000 euros at the current exchange rate. According to estimates, the total expense for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan owned by Ambani would amount to 1.6 million dollars (just under 1.5 million euros). Figures beyond any logic, except that of a billionaire, accustomed to always having the best.
