What Happened

Each of the five Black Badge Cullinan by Cyril Kongo motor cars features hand-painted veneer and leather interiors, with themes from Kongo's 'Kongoverse' universe. The Starlight Headliner, picnic tables, fascia, and rear Waterfall are all individually painted, using over 70 bespoke paint colors. The exteriors debut a Gradient Coachline and color-matched brake callipers, a first for Rolls-Royce.

“Creativity and imagination are the forces that define Rolls-Royce, shaping motor cars that are as individual as their owners. Our Private Offices, where clients co-create the most complex Bespoke commissions, directly reflect this belief.”
