Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019

[Warlock-]

Rolls-Royce has just announced that its next body model will be called Cullinan. According to Rolls-Royce, the name of Cullinan is determined by a type of diamond that is characterized as the largest diamond found in history with a size of about 600 grams. That is why Rolls-Royce wanted to play with this term for his new model wanting to make a nod to the meaning of the Cullinan diamond that was discovered in 1905. This is the second Rolls-Royce that debuts on the new aluminum platform. The first was the Rolls-Royce Phantom. This platform, in turn, is 30% more rigid than that used in other previous models.

To ensure its operation, being the first Rolls-Royce SUV, the firm has tested it in the most remote places: the deserts of Africa, the Arctic Circle, the high lands of Scotland and the canyons of the United States. The arrival of Cullinan comes three years after Rolls-Royce officially announced that it would have an SUV in the range. The intention to launch an SUV is because the British firm, belonging to the BMW group, wants to increase its sales to exceed 5,000 units for the first time in its history. The latest records put Rolls-Royce sales at 3,362 units. This model will also compete with other rivals such as the Bentley Bentayga or the Aston Martin DBX, which arrives in 2019. Although this new Cullinan was introduced in mid-2018, it will not be until the end of the year when the first orders can be made, for that the deliveries begin to arrive in 2019. The new Rolls-Royce Cullinan is characterized by its enormous size. It has a length of 5.34 meters long, a width of 2.16 meters and a height of 1.83 meters. Also, its wheelbase of 3.28 meters. And its weight is 2.7 tons.

With these figures we can say that we are facing one of the largest models that exist to date. Specifically, when it goes on the market, the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan will become the longest SUV on the market. To date, this facet corresponded to models such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS, with 5.16 meters; or Bentley Bentayga, with 5.14 meters, among others. To get an idea of how big it is, we are talking about a model that is more than 30 centimeters larger than the Range Rover, one of the superlative SUVs to date. It is also 18 centimeters taller than this and slightly lower. Another spectacular fact is the propeller that incorporates. Specifically we speak of a 12-cylinder V-shaped engine with 6,749 cubic centimeters. This propeller offers a power of 571 HP (420 kW) with a maximum torque of 850 Nm. available only from 1,600 laps. The power of this engine is transmitted to both axes by means of an automatic change of type torque converter and eight speeds. Of course, so much volume, so much power and so much weight can not trigger that in a very high consumption. Specifically, it offers an average expenditure of 15 liters per 100 kilometers and CO2 emissions of 341 grams of CO2 per kilometer traveled. According to the CEO of Rolls-Royce, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, has signaled that the lifestyle of "super luxury" is evolving and that Rolls-Royce is leading this process. "Luxury will no longer be an urban concept. Increasingly, it is related to embracing and experiencing a wider world. Our clients expect to go to all the sites in a luxurious way, without effort and without compromise, conquering the most complicated terrain to enjoy the most enriching experiences, "he added.
