Fairly obvious to the eye, the Black Badge Cullinan Series II sports a redesigned front end with a more aggressive air intake featuring widened veins. The iconic Pantheon grille is now illuminated for the first time, adding a striking visual element. In keeping with the Black Badge theme, the grille and all exterior brightwork, including the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, are finished in black. The new series extends this dark treatment to the window surrounds, door spears, and handles, all meticulously hand-painted and polished for a high-gloss finish.

With its name derived from the Gauteng town that delivered the world’s largest diamond at 3 100 carats, the updated Cullinan continues to be a statement of extravagance. The 23-inch wheels for example are the largest ever offered on a Black Badge model. The unique interwoven spoke design allows a clear view of the disc brake calipers, available in signature red, black, or other bespoke colours.

Inside, the Black Badge Cullinan Series II continues the theme of advanced materials and bespoke design. The Technical Carbon finish, with its precise repeating pattern, has been retained, offering a three-dimensional effect. If the Individual Rear Seats configuration is chosen, clients can include the Black Badge infinity symbol on the rear Technical Carbon ‘Waterfall’ section, adding a touch of exclusivity to the Champagne cooler.

A standout feature is the new Duality Twill textile, a rayon fabric made from bamboo, inspired by the extensive bamboo grove at Sir Henry Royce’s former winter home in the Côte d’Azur. This material incorporates up to 2.2 million stitches and is available in a range of bespoke colourways. The dark ambience of the interior is further enhanced with physical vapour deposition for the air vent surrounds, ensuring the metal does not tarnish over
