This $1 Million Rolls Is What Happens When Brabus Gets Bored Of The G-Wagen
The most luxurious Brabus SUV gets even better with redesigned bits and an extravagant interior
- The Brabus 700 is an upgraded Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II with aggressive new styling.
- It features a carbon fiber wide bodykit paired with a fully re-upholstered luxury interior.
- The twin-turbo V12 produces 690 hp, with pricing starting at well over $1 million.
Brabus has taken a brief pause from its famously aggressive Mercedes-AMG G-Class builds to focus on a very different canvas, creating a special take on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Named the Brabus 700, this luxury SUV pairs a redesigned bodykit with an upgraded interior, plus performance and chassis enhancements that nudge the stately Rolls into more daring territory.
This isn’t the tuner’s first encounter with the Cullinan, as it previously modified a pre-facelift example. The new version, however, is based on the updated Series II and adopts a more contemporary look.
Bespoke bodywork
The tuner didn’t settle for the usual wide fender extensions and sharper side skirts, taking visual modifications to the next level with bespoke styling features. The redesigned front bumper has larger intakes and custom DRLs which are nicely integrated with the OEM LED headlights, while the hood has gained carbon fiber trim

The profile is dominated by the 24-inch Brabus Monoblock M Platinum Edition alloy wheels with a design that looks fitting to a Rolls-Royce. The bodykit has a high-gloss carbon fiber finish, combined with the Cascade Gray shade of the pictured Cullinan. Finally, the tail features a more pronounced spoiler and a sporty diffuser housing the quad tailpipes of the upgraded exhaust.

More power, lower stance
Underneath, the Brabus 700 gains a stainless-steel sports exhaust with actively controlled butterfly valves. Power comes from the PowerXtra RR68-700 upgrade for the twin-turbo 6.75-liter V12, pushing output to 690 hp (515 kW / 700 PS) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of torque.

The most luxurious Brabus SUV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5 seconds flat. While impressive for a heavyweight champion, it is slightly slower than the Spofec-tuned Cullinan that completes the same sprint in 4.6 seconds.
The air suspension gains the Brabus SpotXtra module, bringing the Rolls-Royce Cullinan closer to the ground by 25 mm (1 inches) at its lowest setting. Hopefully, this won’t sacrifice much of Rolls Royce’s signature Magic Carpet ride.
Verdant interior
The Rolls-Royce SUV features the Brabus Masterpiece package, with quilted leather upholstery covering virtually every surface of the cabin. Finished in a Verdant Shadow green, it has a texture reminiscent of reptile skin. Brabus emblems appear throughout, some illuminated for added effect.
The few non-green elements are finished in Shadow Gray or glossy carbon fiber, and the boot holds a bespoke Weekender bag trimmed to match the vehicle’s leather upholstery.
The Price of Being Extra
The Brabus 700 can be purchased as a complete vehicle or as a tuning package for existing Series II Cullinan owners. For those curious about cost, the pictured example is on the market for €914,787 (about $1,068,860) and is currently on display at Pebble Beach alongside other Brabus creations.
