With the tailgate open, the rear cabin shows how far the artwork carries through the whole car, not just the front.

The Starlight Headliner is the most dramatic part of the project, with the painted sky effect turning the roof into art.

Rolls-Royce has unveiled five one-off commissions based on the Cullinan Black Badge, designed by French artist Cyril Kong. The carmaker claims the project marks 10 years of the Black Badge line.

 

Outside, the cars get a Blue Crystal over Black finish and a first-for-Rolls-Royce Gradient Coachline. The brake callipers are colour-matched to the coachline and interior accents. The cars also ride on 23-inch Black Badge alloy wheels. All of these cars use hand-painted artwork on the Starlight Headliner and wood surfaces inside the cabin. Rolls-Royce says each car has the same overall theme, but each gets its own version of Kongo’s work. 

 

The interior also uses a four-zone colour split with Black, Phoenix Red, Turchese, Forge Yellow and Mandarin. Kongo’s tag motif appears on details such as the umbrellas, illuminated treadplates and door leather embroidery. 

 

The 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 continues to power the SUV, producing peak outputs of 600hp and 900Nm.

Poll of the month

What do you think about the push for ethanol blends even higher than E20 petrol?

Good move; it cuts dependence on crude oil imports
I support it as it’s a greener solution than pure petrol
I’ll accept it only if it’s cheaper than E20 petrol
I am concerned about damage to my vehicle
Not good; fuel efficiency will drop even further
