Have you imagined yourself climbing the mountains while drinking a glass of Dom Perignon in the backseat of a Rolls Royce? Stop the dream and start living, because in the second part of 2018 it will be launched the Cullinan. Anyway, it won’t probably be the most capable off-roader on the market, but it aims to be the most luxurious. It’s possible that the newcomer to be built on the new 7 Series platform, with extensive use of aluminium to counteract the heavy, high luxury trims. There are rumors saying that the price will be around $400,000, and that the production version will be preceded by a concept car at the end of this year. Its engine could rely on the Phantom’s V12 6.8 liter drivetrain, while a hybrid version would probably be available at its launch time. There were many renderings of the Cullinan on the internet, but until now there’s nothing sure.

However, the first dynamic visual hints about the new model just appeared on the web, in form of an interesting all-wheel drive mule playing in the snow: it looks like a Phantom, but in fact it’s a modified Cullinan. It’s shorter than a Phantom and, with the higher ground clearance, the huge wheels and the short rear doors, it doesn’t look particularly well. But that’s not the point. The point is that Rolls Royce is intensely testing its first SUV.

From a mechanical point of view, the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom will stand on the company`s newest space-frame platform, which will make it extremely light and maintain a “magic-carpet ride” characteristic.

The same space-frame platform will be also used on other new Rolls-Royce models, except for the Phantom Coupe and Phantom Drophead Coupe, which will replace the present Dawn and Wraith versions.

The full specifications concerning the powertrains it will come with are yet unknown, but we should be able to find out more later on, perhaps after the 2016 Geneva Motor Show!

The concept resulting from the British luxury car maker is called the 102EX, and initial reports were not that good.

After that event, Rolls-Royce was pretty much adamant about not opting for an electric drive variant. They said the public was not happy with the low range (200 km) and the high recharge time (20 hours). Now everything seems to have changed, as Rolls-Royce CEO steps up and says an electric drive train is actually a good idea.

Not only that, but he also said that the public received the Rolls-Royce 102EX concept quite well, and the alternative drive system caters well to the brand. “Electric powertrain is something very true to Rolls Royce, it’s effortless, there’s huge amounts of torque and it is perfectly quiet”.

But actually, her car is a very nice and classy Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, a car that she decided to put up for auction.

On the 17th of May, the Rolls-Royce will go under the hammer at a Julien’s Auctions event, and fans of both Rolls-Royce and Lady Gaga will get their chance to grab it. Made in 1990, the Corniche is not exactly something you would call classic or even high end, but even so, it will fetch a pretty sum.

The estimate places the Rolls-Royce Corniche at somewhere between $30.000 and $50.000, and we don’t know exactly how much of that is related to the status of the owner. Either way, Lady Gaga plans to take all of the money from the auction and donate it to the MusiCares charity, an organization that takes care of struggling artists.
