The Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge in white with an orange interior is one of three Black Badge Cullinans in our Orange County fleet, and it is the only one where darkened chrome reads ceremonial rather than menacing. White paint and an orange cabin nobody expects until the door swings open. Book it for a daylight wedding or birthday where arriving is the whole event.
The rear doors are hinged at the back rather than the front, which Rolls Royce calls coach doors, and they change how you arrive somewhere more than any performance figure does. You step out forwards rather than swinging out sideways, which matters in formal clothes and is the reason the design survived. Behind that ceremony sits 592 horsepower from a twin turbo V12 and a 4.9 second run to sixty that the car does its best to conceal. Air suspension and all-wheel drive keep it level and planted over the speed bumps on the way into a Newport Beach venue, and the doors close themselves at the touch of a button.
White with an orange interior is the brightest Cullinan Black Badge we run, and the coach doors are the frame everybody wants near Fashion Island or a Newport Beach hotel drive. Open both on one side and the entire cabin is exposed, which nothing with conventional doors can do, and the orange leather against a white body is as strong a contrast as our fleet offers. Shoot it square to the side with both doors open. The upright grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy carry the front angles. White holds its detail in direct daylight, so there is no wrong time of day along the coast to shoot this one.
The only white Black Badge we run, and the only one of the three where the coach doors read as ceremonial rather than menacing. Black Badge darkens all the chrome, so on our two black cars the grille and the figure on the bonnet disappear into the bodywork. On this one the contrast survives against the white paint. That makes it the Black Badge for weddings and daylight events near Newport Beach and Fashion Island. It also carries the smaller deposit of the three, with a higher per mile rate as the trade.
This is the Cullinan Black Badge trim, white exterior over an orange interior, all-wheel drive with rear steer, powered by a 6.75 liter twin turbo V12 making 592 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Black Badge darkens the chrome, the grille surround and the Spirit of Ecstasy, and pairs it with the colour-split leather and Technical Fibre trim that give this car its orange cabin. On a white body the darkened chrome still reads as contrast rather than disappearing into the paint, which is the detail that separates this car from our black Black Badge Cullinans. Zero to sixty comes in 4.9 seconds and it seats five across four doors.
