Rolls-Royce celebrates marine design with Cullinan Yachting commissions

Rolls-Royce is celebrating its contribution to marine craft and design with the Cullinan Yachting commissions.

The Cullinan Yachting are four bespoke vehicles with each car defined by the cardinal points on a compass – North, East, South and West.

Each car’s exterior will be hand-painted according to the cardinal points with the North example finished in Crystal over Light Blue; East in Dark Silk Teal; South in serene Crystal over Arabian Blue and West in Sapphire Gunmetal Grey. All models will feature 22-inch fully polished wheels, which the manufacturer claims resemble the ‘mirror-polished brightwork and deck fittings of contemporary yachts.’

Inside, all cars get Arctic White and Navy Blue leather seat upholstery with contrasting stitching and piping, while the headrests are also painted in Navy Blue. The seats incorporate a design featuring a ‘rigging pattern’, created by an artist with a connection to the Royal Navy, and who is trained in yarn, weave and embroidery construction. Open the doors and there is a rope motif that appears on the illuminated door scuff plates – another reference to the firm’s marine contribution.

Each car features a bespoke starlight headlining with animated hand-placed fibre-optic stars inspired by the Mediterranean wind maps. Meanwhile, the four models are differentiated by bespoke hand-painted dashboard, centre console and picnic tables.

Prices for these four exclusive Rolls-Royce Cullinans have not been revealed at this stage, but they’re likely to carry a hefty premium over the standard model’s £300,000 price tag.
