Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Cullinan Series II, with interior upgrades and design enhancements that reflect the marque’s commitment to meeting evolving client preferences.
Acknowledging its clients’ desire to “escape into nature at will”, the interior of the the new Cullinan is features a palette inspired by botanicals.
Among the interior improvements is the integration of an advanced digital interface, Spirit, and the Rolls-Royce private members app, Whispers, designed to provide enhanced connectivity and control over the vehicle.
The interior palette showcases new botanical materials and modern craft techniques, including the introduction of Grey Stained Ash wood veneer with a “delicate shimmer”. 
Duality Twill seating, inspired by a bamboo grove in Le Jardin des Méditerranées on the Côte d’Azur, features intricate embroidery and incorporates 2.2 million stitches and up to 11 miles of thread.
The new Placed Perforation seat pattern, inspired by the shifting clouds over the home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood in the UK, comprises up to 107,000 individual perforations.
“In 2018, Cullinan reframed super-luxury motoring … Cullinan Series II has been created to build on that success. By integrating new technologies, new materials, meticulously considered design updates and innovative opportunities for self-expression through Bespoke, we retain everything our clients love about this motor car, ensuring its continued allure,” said Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The most substantive change to the car’s geometry is the pillar-to-pillar glass-panel fascia in the upper portion of the dashboard. The gauge cluster panel in front of the driver and new, permanently visible Central Information Display in the center of the fascia have been redesigned for the Spirit operating system.
Clients can also tailor the colour of the instrument dials to complement the motor car’s interior palette or exterior finish.
Refinements extend to the rear seats, where clients can now connect up to two streaming devices and enjoy individualized streaming and infotainment functions. The introduction of internet connectivity enables wi-fi hotspot access and Bluetooth pairing with rear seat entertainment systems, and the renowned 18-speaker Bespoke Audio system enhances the overall audio experience.
The Cullinan Series II also debuts the Clock Cabinet vitrine, incorporating the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy figurine. This feature was developed over four years and creates a captivating “flow of light”, enhancing the interior ambiance, Rolls-Royce says.
The Cullinan Series II’s exterior design features an illuminated grille and redesigned lamp treatments, along with the addition of upsized 23in wheels and a new paint finish, Emperador Truffle.
“Each [Cullinan] is based on detailed insights gathered directly from our clients before the motor car is conceived, and throughout its life. Cullinan Series II is born of this approach: more energetic, focussed and expressive, in line with the priorities of today’s super-luxury consumers,” said Anders Warming, director of design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
“In its new guise, Cullinan Series II remains effortless, everywhere — faithful to the principles and retaining the qualities that have made this motor car so successful. At the same time, it represents genuine progress and development, based on an evolved appreciation of luxury that adds statement and flourish to Cullinan’s original form.”
