A Rolls-Royce Cullinan Owner Drove Into The Arabian Desert And This Is What Happened

A Rolls-Royce Cullinan owner took his Sapphire Black Cullinan for a drive in the Arabian desert, one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet. The Arabian desert spans approximately 2.3 million square kilometers and is one of the largest continuous bodies of sand on Earth.

Considered the world’s largest hot desert, the temperature can go beyond 50 °C. This extreme and inhospitable environment is deadly yet magnificent, peppered with majestic red dunes and lethal quicksand.

This is just the right environment to test out Rolls-Royce’s renowned ‘Magic Carpet Ride’.

As shown by this Cullinan owner, luxury conveyance is no longer confined to an urban environment. The Cullinan employs a four-wheel steering system, permanent all-wheel drive and self-leveling air suspension. The electronically-controlled air suspension has a powerful compression system to actively push down any wheel when the system detects loss of traction. This ensures that every wheel is constantly in contact with the ground, and that maximum torque can be delivered to all wheels. These features allow it to float across this unforgiving landscape smoothly and quietly, making the journey seamless and magical.

On the graceful and imposing dunes, the luxurious ride of the Cullinan was put to the test. What happened is its 6.75-litre V12 twin turbo engine, with 563 hp and 850 Nm, allows it to surf across this sandy landscape filled with steep cliffs and outcrops.

Named after the biggest diamond ever found, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan truly takes the marque’s patrons to the edge of adventure in uncompromised luxury. Effortless, everywhere, “the Rolls-Royce of SUVs” takes the world in its stride and takes visionaries and explorers on the epic adventures they dare to undertake.
