If you want to splash out on a gift for someone who has it all, maybe the Cullinan is the way forward.

That gift won’t come cheap, but you knew that from the moment the words ‘Rolls-Royce’ were mentioned.

Cars most certainly don’t make me hot under the bonnet, but the Cullinan is rather easy on the eye.

Car Mag have all the details on the “ultimate luxury” item:

Billed as an “all-terrain high-bodied car that makes the idea of authentic, luxury off-road travel a reality for the first time”, the automaker claims the new Cullinan is the first “three-box” vehicle in the SUV segment (saying its rear partition wall creates a “distinct environment for passengers, separated from the luggage compartment”).

The Cullinan runs on the brand’s aluminium sub-structure and is powered by a 6,75-litre twin-turbo V12 delivering 420 kW and 850 N.m to all four wheels, with top speed limited to 250 km/h (interestingly, Rolls-Royce has opted not to list a 0-100 km/h figure). The 2660 kg Cullinan furthermore boasts an all-wheel steering system as standard and has a 540 mm wading depth at it loftiest ride height.

Anybody still here?

We’ve seen the outside, but the interior is where the magic really happens:

Rolls-Royce says the rear passenger compartment (accessed via coach doors) has been designed to offer “the best seat in the house”. Two rear configurations are available: Lounge Seats or Individual Seats. The former configuration is the more functional of the two, with space for three passengers in the rear…

Up front, the Cullinan features a touch-sensitive central information screen, with functions manipulated using the “Spirit of Ecstasy” controller sited on the central console, along with an “Off-Road” button, hill descent control button and air suspension height adjustment controls. Five USB ports are scattered around the cabin, while phones can be wirelessly charged.

Ag ja, not too shabby.

And just when you think you have heard it all, here comes the magic carpet ride.

For real:

The new SUV boasts Rolls-Royce’s “Magic Carpet Ride”, thanks largely to a “thoroughly re-engineered” self-levelling air suspension system that the brand says “makes millions of calculations every second as it continuously varies the electronically controlled shock absorbers”. Suspension comes in the form of a double-wishbone arrangement up front and a five-link set-up at the rear.

Yeah, now I really have heard it all.
