That $325,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV Should Be Taken Off-Road
Get your Grey Poupon and hit the mountains.
Cullinan is the name of the largest rough diamond ever found. Weighing 3,106 carats—the size of a grapefruit—it emerged from the Premier No. 2 mine in Cullinan, South Africa, in 1905. It traveled by mail to London in a brown-paper-covered biscuit box—resurfacing later that year in more manageable pieces. Those bits ended up ensconced in a place of suitable prominence: among Edward VII’s crown jewels, now Queen Elizabeth II’s.
Cullinan is also the name of another behemoth polished to brilliance in the British realm: the first-ever SUV from Rolls-Royce Plc.
