Rolls Royce has unveiled first pictures of the test mule for its soon come crossover. This prototype only hints at the size of the new car and gives no clue about the design aspects of the new all terrain machine that Rolls Royce had announced earlier in February this year.

Based on a shortened Phantom Series II body, it has been given the name Project Cullinan. The prototype has been created purely to begin the development of an all-wheel drive suspension system that will deliver the trademark Rolls Royce ‘magic carpet’ ride.

As part of the testing program, the Cullinan engineers will test the new suspension across all types of international road surface specification at test facilities, as well as on public roads. Test surfaces will include; Belgian Pavé, cobblestones, corrugated concrete, noise development and measurement surfaces, resonance road, and acceleration bumps.
