Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with new carbon body kit

Leave a comment

A few months ago, Rolls-Royce presented a new edition of the Cullinan Black Badge Series II, whose production will start in August 2024. For owners of the current model, the American company 1016 Industries offers a special carbon body kit.

Rolls-Royce premiered the Cullinan Black Badge at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as a special edition of the Cullinan. The car is based on performance and its interior consists of carbon fiber applications, black leather and borders colored according to the exterior colour. However, for those who want more, 1016 Industries offers a special body kit, which is the first aftermarket company to offer packages of parts made from the pure carbon used by Rolls-Royce. These include lightweight side skirts, a sports diffuser, a rear fender extension spoiler and new bumpers.

When it comes to the powertrain, 1016 Industries hasn’t changed anything. Under the bonnet is still a 6.75-L V12 engine with 591 hp (441 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), which is respectable for a car weighing 2734 kg.

1016 Industries has not disclosed how much the upgrade costs, but it is known that the tuner offers a similar V3 package for $65,000.

A unique Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail

The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail is a new car in the fleet of the British luxury car manufacturer. It is a unique example built according to the order and wishes of a wealthy customer.

The car is finished in a special shade of white with particles of aluminum and glass, creating a special sparkling effect. The lower body parts are made of carbon fiber in silver, a first for a Rolls-Royce Droptail. There is also a black hood and a removable roof. When it comes to the powertrain, under the hood is a 6.6-liter V12 engine with 593 hp (442 kW).

This is the third of four ultra-luxury Droptail examples, and the interior is decorated with 233 wood inserts, 76 of which are mounted above the trunk. That is why Rolls-Royce produced a solid carbon fiber base, and the design and finishing of the wooden surfaces took more than 8,000 hours.

The car is equipped with the most sophisticated analog clock ever installed in a Rolls-Royce model. The design and construction of this fascinating watch took five months, and the watch consists of 119 parts representing 119 years of the British brand’s existence. Although the price has not been officially announced, experts believe that the buyer spent around 30 million US dollars.
