Rolls-Royce’s iconic flagship SUV, the Cullinan, has undergone a complete transformation, courtesy of German tuning specialist Mansory. Now renamed the Linea D’Arabo, this vehicle is based on the Cullinan Series II, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find any resemblance to the original in its design, interior, or performance.
Gone is the luxury and elegance that once defined the Cullinan. In its place is an aggressive exterior, highlighted by striking copper-colored accents. The bold brown and black contrast creates a daring look, sure to spark mixed opinions. It’s almost as if a wealthy executive’s serene, refined vehicle has been reimagined as an over-the-top, custom-built ride.
The Cullinan’s Elegance Disappears, Covered in Copper
Mansory’s Linea D’Arabo has completely reworked the vehicle’s design. The front now features a custom fascia and aggressive LED daytime running lights, giving the vehicle a commanding, menacing presence. Copper accents are applied boldly throughout the body, even extending to the Spirit of Ecstasy emblem – a Rolls-Royce tradition – which has been painted in copper.
The side profile flaunts 24-inch forged wheels and copper-colored window moldings and door handles, starkly contrasting the subtle luxury of the original Cullinan. The rear has also seen dramatic changes, with a large fixed roof spoiler, a custom dual exhaust system, and a brown-toned rear diffuser, pushing the design into even more aggressive territory. The transformation is far from the traditional Rolls-Royce image, shifting the vehicle towards a bold and unconventional look.
Inside, the transformation continues with a similarly bold approach. The brown and black leather seats are adorned with Mansory’s signature stitching and lighting, but they come off as a bit gaudy instead of radiating luxury. The refined ambiance typically expected of high-end vehicles has been replaced by the excessive flair commonly seen in custom-tuned cars. This radical shift will likely divide opinions among traditional Rolls-Royce owners.
Supercar Performance in an SUV Package Price Tag Expected to Skyrocket
Mansory’s upgrades go beyond the design. The 6.75L V12 twin-turbo engine has been finely tuned to produce an incredible 720 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque—rivaling some supercars. This powerhouse can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.8 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.
These impressive performance figures elevate the Linea D’Arabo from a luxury SUV to something more akin to a high-performance GT car. Combining such raw power in the Cullinan’s large frame highlights Mansory’s extreme performance philosophy.
Mansory typically favors bespoke builds over mass production, which suggests that only a select few VIP customers might be able to buy this vehicle.
Prospective buyers should prepare for a price tag significantly higher than the base Cullinan, which starts at around $407,750. The Linea D’Arabo represents another monster SUV, designed for affluent individuals who crave the ultimate in automotive exclusivity and extravagance.
