As we have claimed, the mechanical resume of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan will make you go la la, perhaps that’s the reason why it has made its appearance in music videos from Drake to Travis Scott.
But behind this majestic stance and opulent aura, the latest Cullinan does carry a blemish that shouldn’t exist at this extravagant price but it’s a reminder for us that perfection is for fairytales, in real-world, even the perfect ones cast the shadow.
So, the inadequateness of Cullinan lies in its insulation. Yes, that very plush serenity and unmistakable magnificence can leave some drivers emotionally numb because it’s so cocooned, so seamlessly antiseptic.
Beauty that is immaculate can feel unreal, almost distancing. Still, if you have an itch for experiencing an apex symbol of engineered tranquillity and have 5-7 cars as per the average, you can become the owner of the benchmark the world reluctantly bow to.
