<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce has published the first images of its test mules and offered the first progress report into the development of its first ever SUV.<\/p>\n

Project Cullinan, as it\u2019s being referred to within the company, shares its name, quite appropriately, with the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever unearthed and is now part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce is refusing to refer to the car as a Sports Utility Vehicle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its official letter to shareholders announcing the project\u2019s inception in February, Rolls-Royce described it solely as a high-sided vehicle.<\/p>\n

The first images of the test mule don\u2019t give much away other than some idea of the car\u2019s size. It will be almost as big as the company\u2019s flagship Phantom limousine but will be able to offer the famous magic carpet levels of ride comfort both on- and off-road.<\/p>\n

ROLLS-ROYCE SUV WILL NOT COMPROMISE BRAND<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Rolls-Royce<\/p>\n

The company has confirmed that the car in the images is testing a new all-wheel drive suspension system and that it will have to be able to conquer \u201cBelgian Pav\u00e9, cobblestones, corrugated concrete, noise development and measurement surfaces, resonance road, and acceleration bumps,\u201d in order to make the grade.<\/p>\n

The high rear spoiler also indicates that the car will stand much taller and is possibly there to increase the amount of body roll to replicate the behavior of a real off-roader.<\/p>\n

Expect prices to start from somewhere around \u00a3250,000\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
