Mansory's 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan: More Carbon Fibre, More Power, More… Everything

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has always been the epitome of luxury SUV elegance, but leave it to Mansory to turn that understated opulence into something far, far more outrageous. For the 2025 model year, Mansory has rolled out a tuning package that takes the Cullinan from "refined" to "downright preposterous." And let’s be honest, that’s exactly what we wanted, right?

A Front End That Screams "I Mean Business"

Mansory's engineers have gone straight to the Cullinan's face with a redesign that screams "welcome to the future." We're talking larger air intakes, a newly sculpted bumper, and a carbon fibre apron that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi movie. The facelift is more of a 'let’s put the Cullinan in a time machine and see what comes out' scenario. The front-end redesign also includes a set of extended LED daytime running light strips that wind their way around the lower air intakes, all adding to the vehicle's new, almost predatory persona.

And just when you thought they couldn’t add more flair, Mansory introduces an illuminated radiator grille that lights up from the inside, ensuring the Cullinan is seen even when it’s dark enough to make a night-time raid on the galaxy.

Carbon Fibre. Everywhere.

Mansory didn’t stop at the front. Oh no. Carbon fibre accents now coat nearly every inch of the Cullinan, from the side skirts to the rear diffuser. They've even given the wheel arches a new carbon fibre makeover, visually lowering the vehicle by a couple of inches—because, apparently, this $350,000+ SUV needs to look sportier.

Speaking of sporty, the rear end now features dual carbon fibre spoilers perched above the rear window and tailgate, with a set of massive twin exhaust pipes giving the back a look that’s equal parts "racer" and "look-at-me" (and we do mean look). The signature Mansory badging is fully displayed, complete with fender vent accents. If subtlety is your thing, this may not be your idea of refinement.

Inside, It's All About Leather and Embroidery

Naturally, Mansory didn’t forget the inside. The cabin of the Cullinan gets a full re-upholstery with leather trim options tailored to your whimsy. The finishing touch? MANSORY lettering is stitched into the seats and floor mats—because if you're driving this ostentatious vehicle, you want everyone to know exactly who is behind the wheel.

The Monster Under the Hood

But what’s the point of all this visual drama without some serious power to match? Mansory hasn’t just given the Cullinan a cosmetic overhaul. The iconic 6.75-litre V12 engine has been upgraded with a "Power Box" engine management system and a high-performance sports exhaust. The result? A mind-boggling 720 horsepower—120 more than the standard model—and 1049 Nm of torque.

Despite all that extra oomph, the Mansory Cullinan still does the 0-60 mph dash in 4.8 seconds, keeping pace with the stock Rolls-Royce model. But make no mistake—this isn't just about performance. This is about turning heads and making a statement wherever you go. The top speed? 155 mph, though you'd be lucky if the gas pedal doesn't start protesting sooner, as the fuel economy is a borderline comical 12 mpg.

The Verdict: Cool or Blasphemous?

Mansory’s 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan may not be to everyone's taste, but there's no denying its audacious presence. With a design that could stop traffic, a roaring V12 that echoes its boldness, and enough carbon fibre to make an F1 car jealous, it's the ultimate "take me seriously" vehicle... if you dare. Because when you’re in a car like this, subtlety is so last year.
