Earlier this month, an open letter signed by Rolls-Royce chairman, Peter Schwarzenbauer, and CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, revealed what is, arguably, the most significant piece of news to have hit the 111-year old brand in recent memory – the confirmation of a Rolls-Royce SUV.
With a lack of substantial official information to be found regarding the car, expert auto manipulator Theophilus Chin has gone and created his own take on what an all-terrain Rolls Royce could look like. By utilising stylistic cues from the Rolls-Royce Ghost and employing it onto a Range Rover LWB, the renderings do provide us with a hint or two on how the SUV could look like, keeping in mind the current design language.
Further details confirmed by the company include news that the Rolls-Royce SUV will be constructed with an all-new aluminium architecture to keep weight down. The firm cites heavy demand from customers around the world as one of the key reasons for such a move.
Opening the history books would prove that Rolls-Royce was more than just pure opulence. The firm’s founding fathers, Charles Stewart Rolls and Sir Frederick Henry Royce, were known for their overland adventures which included tackling the Scottish Reliability Trails, the Alpine Trials, the Prince Henry Tour and the London to Edinburgh trial.

looks like a hearse
Idk what Theo is smoking on this one…
Fits in with the Ghost name…
Dead tycoon would love to be paraded in one of these…
too much Range Rover genes in there
I know RR is very good. But this is ultra luxury brand and for the rich men who don’t know how to waste their money. Our Fortuneer is realible and powerful yet efficient as well. Although it is only 4 speeder, but I guarantee you won’t regret.
I guess your Fortuner is too cheap for rich people to waste their money in.
Seriously? Comparing RR to that bullock cart called Fortuner????? You must be EXTREMEY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY dense, empty or both in between your ears!
you must be new here.
Fake Fella
You are fake, I’m ori, Fortuner is snail-alike, slow SUV
Even spell fortuner also wrong. Shame.
Ministers and UMNO politicians sure happy with this new Rolls SUV. They sure order a few!. Ooops, I mean they sure get one to drive for free bought by their “friend”.
Remember Nazri’s son and his Porsche Cayenne? Fully bought and maintained by Nazri’s “friend”?
Yes, most cars in Malaysia like that. The driver enjoys the car bought and maintained by someone else, in exchange for contracts.
This car got no RV. Better to get a Lexus LS460. Wayyy more class n prestige than this.
Lexus Salesman, For those that can afford a RR, do you think they care about RV??? Lexus and RR are like apples and oranges – in short should not be compared!!! Different segments. Lately, Toyota/Lexus are churning out really dumb salespeople with mind boggling comments like this…
Couldn’t agree with you more.Don’t you wonder why are Toyota sales are down?It might be a combination of both of their ill-equipped cars and the recruitment of their salesmen who has the the iq level below 100.
I am not referring to all the salesmen.Only those who called themselves Sam’s Loos.
Honestly, if I can afford a RR or Bentley,I wouldn’t even look at other marques.Let alone a Toyota.
Cheers
Coulnd’t agree with you more.Don’t you ever wonder why is Toyota sales is down.It might be a combination of their ill-equipped cars and their salesmen who has the IQ level below 100.I’m not referring to all the salesmen only those who call themselves Sam’s Loos.
And I think the slow sales are affecting them in a funny way.It is turning them into bashers.
Honestly if I can afford a RR or Bentley,I would not look at other marques.Let alone Toyota.
Cheers
Duh? Makes perfect sense for RR to go for a SUV. The luxury SUV segment is growing and the margins are usually much better. Remember we were dishing Porsche when a certain “Cayenne” model was mooted. Its one of Porsche’s best selling model now!!!
You think ppl buy RR will care about the RV??
I can see why this person has made a stab at describing the new model, but Rolls Royce has always ploughed a lonely furrow. After all this time why would they want to emulate a cheaper brand in their newest and most contentious model? Like all previous models some will like it enough to buy one and some will hate it for being beyond their means.
MB GL is slim.
World No. 1 SUV must be really number 1 in all aspects.
Offroading + dimensions + comfort, and everything, with some sporty look without losing elegance.
A 6888 x 2188 x 1988 mms X6-look, Range Rover mechanicals with Rolls Royce brand and body, for instance.
BORING
Also, ground clearance cannot be that of an MPV. Don’t forget about wadding depth.
Permanent advanced AWD in all versions.
If you want to do it, do it the best. Don’t injure your own brand.
If you can find someone who owns an RR SUV that is actually going to take it off-road, I would eat my own shoe
I think it looks like Toyota Unser
Come on Rolls, your designers can do better than this. It’s a cross between a London black taxi and a hearse. Why would anyone living wants to be seen in this is anyone’s guess!
Nirwana Memorial Services will order a few of these for dead VVIP’s
From Side & Back look familiar… like Kereta Bawa Mayat from Hospital… RR should make better than this lerrrr…
This Rolls looks horrible.
Please don’t built this SUV
Undertaker car best for funerals
This car will tarnish the RR brand..
I cannot comment whether any MY ministers will buy but these following points will most likely happens:
1. Sells big time in China!
2. RR comes out with Sport/Luxury/Extra Legroom (etc etc) models.
