Brabus 700, this is how the German tuner sees the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II

A few days ago we showed you how Novitec, through its Spofec division for preparations on Rolls-Royce models, presented its sporty and “tuned” vision of the Cullinan Series II through a very elegant preparation that nonetheless has a certain edge, which takes away part of the stately character of this English SUV, all seasoned with its characteristic V12 engine, boosted to 700 CV.

Brabus, focused especially on Mercedes-Benz models, also sets out to prepare the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, showing that this SUV can also be a good basis for modifications even though it may not seem so at first. Just like Novitec, the Brabus experts have given the Cullinan their characteristic touch and go one step further by modifying its look a little more, but without losing the elegance of the series model, with modifications to its engine as well.

For the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Brabus uses its new wide-body concept Widestar, in which every component is made of carbon fibre with an exposed high-gloss structure, which combines perfectly with the Cascade Gray colour of the model in the photographs. As you can see, at the front Brabus has modified practically the whole thing with a new bumper with large lower air intakes, plus a distinctive, elegant design with an extension of the standard daytime running lights that creates a new light signature and surrounds a new air intake. At the bottom, a flat, generously sized splitter makes its presence felt.

From the side we see how the Cullinan grows wider thanks to the oversized carbon wheel arches, which also make room for the new wheels designed by Brabus, the Monoblock M Platinum Edition model, which recall the classic ones from Rolls-Royce, measuring 24 inches on both axles. To make the transition between the two axles suitable, new sill covers have also been fitted, while at the rear there is a small but eye-catching spoiler under the rear window and an elegant rear diffuser, which also helps to accentuate the Cullinan’s new width.

Brabus offers each customer the option to personalise the interior to their taste as well. In this case, the Germans present it with a striking colour called Verdant Shadow, which floods practically the entire cabin: the colour is present on the seats, the dashboard and door panels, and even on the floor and mats. This tone is interrupted only by the inserts in Shadow Gray or carbon fibre and the aluminium sports pedals.

Under its bonnet, as we already know, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II mounts the brand’s characteristic 6.75-litre V12, which in standard form delivers 593 CV and 900 Nm of torque. Brabus has modified it to produce 700 CV and 950 Nm (figures slightly lower than those achieved by Novitec Spofec), allowing it to reach 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and a limited top speed of 250 km/h. In addition, the Brabus 700 features a stainless steel sports exhaust that projects the sound of its power outside and which, with the touch of a button, can be made discreet thanks to electronic valves. The Brabus SportXtra suspension has also been fitted, which lowers the body height by 25 mm.
