Armored Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is definitely not a cheap SUV. However, those looking for a safer and more expensive version can contact Klassen for the armored Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Klassen offers the CEN 1063 Level BR6 protection level for Cullinan including a unique folding system integrated into all door seals. The ceiling and floor were also reinforced to be able to withstand the simultaneous explosion of two DM51 hand grenades.

The luxury SUV also got multi-layer bulletproof glass, battery protection and an electronic control module. There are also reinforced suspension, reinforced door supports and other critical structural points, and a system that allows the vehicle to move even in the event of a tire puncture.

The interior contains exclusive high quality materials. Klassen offers customers a large selection of modifications while the exterior is mostly still true to the standard model. This is important so that the Cullinan does not attract unwanted attention, but this is difficult to do because it is a Rolls-Royce SUV.

The armored Cullinan is powered by a 6.75 liter V12 direct injection engine with 563 hp (414 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

Klassen’s armored Cullinan costs more than $ 950,000 (€ 830,000). That’s a lot of money, but you also get a lot, especially when it comes to high-level protection and security.

Kawasaki fully electric by 2035

Like most carmakers, which have announced full electrification, Kawasaki Motorcycles Heavy Industries has said it will only produce electric motorcycles for developed markets from 2035.

The announcement of ambitious plans comes at a time when Kawasaki has yet to prove itself when it comes to electric motorcycles as it currently has none in its offering. However, that will soon change as it will place more than 10 electric models on the market by 2025. The company is also working on the development of hybrid, fully electric and hydrogen motorcycles.

By 2035, Kawasaki intends to sell only electric motorcycles in Japan, Europe, the US, Canada and Australia. The Japanese company said it wants to increase sales by 2.4 percent to 1 trillion yen, or $ 9 billion, and increase operating profit by more than 8 percent by 2030 from 6.1 percent this fiscal year.

Kawasaki claims that they are making efforts to reduce gas emissions, while also enabling easier ways to travel in the post-pandemic period. It seems that motorcycles can provide safer transportation in a world where people are more aware of the dangers of infectious diseases and the benefits of independent travel.

The largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, Honda, has announced that from 2040 it will only produce electric motorcycles.
