Rolls-Royce has published photographs of the highly anticipated Project Cullinan, depicting the latest key milestone in the development programme of this new 'all-terrain, high-sided vehicle'. This first full development vehicle has already begun testing in public.

The world's leading luxury brand has regularly informed its patrons about this painstaking development programme. Advocates of the marque have been shown the first engineering mule built for the development of the new all-wheel drive suspension system, as well as those created to test the all new aluminium architecture that will underpin all Rolls-Royces from 2018 onwards.

This latest development vehicle will travel to numerous locations around the world in a challenging testing programme to ensure that the end product will be 'Effortless … Everywhere'. Just after Christmas, for example, Project Cullinan will enter the Arctic Circle to undergo cold weather durability and traction testing. Later in 2017, it will travel to the Middle East to endure the highest of temperatures and challenging desert conditions.
