Brabus has unveiled the 700 Blue Sky, its first-ever customization of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, an ultra-luxury SUV that debuted earlier this year. Known primarily for Mercedes-Benz transformations, Brabus has now redefined the British crossover with its signature, bold design. Clad in carbon fiber and outfitted with a 700-horsepower engine, the Blue Sky lives up to its name with an interior featuring a distinct blue theme, delivering what Brabus calls a ‘1-Second-Wow Effect.’ While subtle by Brabus standards, the 700 Blue Sky’s extravagant modifications and jaw-dropping price tag make it a statement piece in the world of luxury SUVs. Performance Upgrade for the CullinanThe Brabus 700 Blue Sky’s power comes from a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine that produces 700 metric horsepower (515 kW) and a formidable 950 Nm of torque. Paired with the Brabus PowerXtra RR68-700 performance kit, this setup allows the luxury SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just five seconds, with an electronically capped top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). This represents a notable upgrade over the standard Cullinan, whose stock 563 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque fall short of the Blue Sky’s enhanced output. To elevate the driving experience further, Brabus has fitted the Blue Sky with an electronically controlled sports exhaust system featuring active sound management. With a discreet “coming home” mode and an option for a powerful, expressive sound profile, this exhaust system allows drivers to control the SUV’s acoustics to suit their surroundings. ‘Black and Bold’ ExteriorThe Brabus 700 Blue Sky’s design is brought to life through the Widestar widebody kit, transforming the Cullinan’s silhouette with bold, high-gloss carbon fiber components. In line with Brabus’s ‘Black and Bold’ philosophy, all chrome-plated trim has been replaced with a sleek black finish. The front fascia features a newly designed Brabus apron, complete with larger air intakes, honeycomb mesh inserts, and trapezoidal accents for a striking, aggressive look. Horizontal daytime running lights and a carbon fiber hood attachment complete the athletic front end, while the lowered front lift ensures greater stability at high speeds. Moving along the sides, carbon fiber fender flares seamlessly integrate with the Widestar body kit, making space for custom 24-inch Brabus Monoblock M Platinum Edition wheels. To continue the aerodynamic line, each door is fitted with bespoke carbon fiber elements that extend to the rear. At the rear, the Brabus 700 Blue Sky is equipped with a carbon fiber spoiler and a distinct rear apron, incorporating a diffuser with dual black tailpipes from the stainless steel sports exhaust system. Finally, the SportXtra module subtly lowers the ride height by 25 mm, emphasizing the SUV’s planted, powerful stance on the road. Luxurious Interior DetailingEntering the cabin of the Brabus 700 Blue Sky reveals an interior crafted from exceptionally soft, breathable leather in the signature Blue Sky color scheme, contrasting sharply with the vehicle’s all-black exterior. This unique color theme is woven throughout, from the seats to the center console and door panels. The interior features Brabus’s luxurious Seashell Diamond quilting across the seats, floor mats, door panels, and even the custom starry sky headliner. Adding to this intricate design are details like the Brabus Double-B embossing and glazed insignia on the doors. Shadow Gray accents and Brabus Signature Carbon elements on the dashboard, center console, and door panels further enhance the refined design. The cabin is complete with aluminum pedals, a footrest, and illuminated sill plates. For Those Who Dare to Spend BigThis isn’t Brabus’s first foray into customizing Rolls-Royce models. Following its previous work on the Ghost, the 700 Blue Sky represents Brabus’s continued effort to bring understated elegance to the high-end British brand. Priced at €897,000 (around $973,000), this exclusive customization of the Cullinan Series II pushes it well beyond the $400,000 base model, appealing to buyers who value rarity and bespoke design. Unlike some aftermarket tuners such as Mansory, whose bold designs can polarize opinions, Brabus’s approach combines bold aesthetics with restraint. For those who find the stock Cullinan too conventional or aesthetically unremarkable, the 700 Blue Sky offers an elevated, meticulously crafted option—one that requires a serious financial commitment and a taste for Brabus’s unique styling.
