Goodwood’s first, upcoming SUV has been spotted running trials again, this time at the fabled Nurburgring Nordschleife for chassis development. Here, it appears that the Cullinan’s state of disguise remains largely the same as before when it was spotted winter testing, where the front bumper details are still concealed beneath square-cut openings for the air intakes on each side.
Along its sides and around the back, it also still wears similar amounts of camouflage as before, where its tail lamp clusters are still the prototype-stage items which probably aren’t representative of the eventual production model’s. It’s the same story with the exhaust outlets, which – as before – are twin tailpipes which exit via each end of the rear bumper.
Under the skin, the Cullinan will be based on the BMW Group’s aluminium architecture which will be shared with the upcoming BMW X7, including possibly the BMW’s twin-turbocharged V12. In terms of powertrain, it still remains to be seen if the Cullinan will stick with the current Rolls-Royce line-up which consists of V12 petrols, or if it will adopt a petrol-and-diesel approach which Bentley has done with the Bentayga.
Incidentally, there is a hybrid variant of the Bentayga in the works, which we have also spotted doing the rounds while testing. Will the Goodwood luxury carmaker follow suit? Time will tell.

Adjustable ride height/ground clearance.
Considering its heft and height, the body roll is not too extreme. Or maybe its not a Roller, but an X7 disguised as a Cullinan. Whichever it is, it does have a nice profile, and looks like might be quite fun when the roads become less straight.
This kind of junk slow at corners even myvi can tarpau
Cullinan sounds almost like curry naan
Well, nowadays most of their customers r rich newly immigrants from former British Raj, so maybe to catch that niche clients?
So Queen Elizabeth may arrive in one of these?
QE2 rather prefers her carriage with traditional 2 horsepower.
