In the space of four years it has become the most successful Rolls-Royce model and capable of raising sales to levels never seen before. The Cullinan is destined to remain in the history of the House of Goodwood. Its merit, after all, is that of having taken the Spirit of Ecstasy higher than any other. Literally, in the sense that, with its SUV body, it develops vertically like no other before. I had the opportunity to test it on the icy roads of Norway and here's how it went. Try to remember the largest SUV you've ever seen pass by on the road. Well, 99% of the time the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is still bigger. We're talking about a beast that is over 5.3 meters long, almost 2.2 meters wide and 1.8 meters high. And it certainly does nothing to hide it: the surfaces are vertical and square, both the sheet metal and the windows, among the largest ever. The rims are also XL, 21 or 22 inches to choose from. Up front, the unmissable protagonist is the enormous stainless steel grille that resembles a Greek temple and which, in turn, is dominated by the Spirit of Ecstasy, a winged woman symbol that can be had in steel, carbon fiber, silver, gold plated and even crystal with lighting underneath. And don't be afraid, it is thief-proof: it automatically retracts inside the hood if forced. The skeleton, which is called Architecture of Luxury, allows for the iconic and regal 6.75-liter V12 and many other technologies such as the four-wheel steering - invaluable for managing the bulk of the Cullinan - or the proactive air suspension, capable of controlling each individual shock absorber to improve absorption starting from the images of two front cameras. Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, Spectre: all the names of the most recent Rolls have to do with some entity of ectoplasmic origin. And the Cullinan? Not her, because her name comes from the largest rough diamond ever found in the world and from which numerous precious stones were obtained that were then set in the British Crown.
