By CARSIFU | 24 March 2021


LOS ANGELES: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Los Gatos delivered a customised Black Badge Cullinan to Ben and Christine Sloss, US-based car enthusiasts by day and endurance racers on the weekends.

The couple's new Black Badge Cullinan is finished in an unique Pikes Peak Blue, created to their personal specification by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective.

The name is an homage to the legendary Colorado hill-climb, which is one of their favourite races.

The Black Badge variant, meanwhile brings out the darker, edgier, more assertive side of Cullinan’s character.

The unique Cullinan comes with vivid fashes of Forge Yellow on the hand-painted coachline, wheel-centre pinstripes and brake callipers, the colours of the flag of Modena (the northern Italian province) and the livery carried by all the couple’s racing cars.

The luxury SUV also includes the signature silver-on-black ‘RR’ monogram, dark window surrounds and custom two-tone Black Badge wheels.

To underline the car’s performance credentials, the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy atop the dark Pantheon grille is milled from a solid billet of carbon fibre.

Personalised Black Badge tread plates at the front doors were designed to match the Black Badge logo with each plate undergoing a precise Physical Vapor Deposition coating process in Black and then engraved to reveal the silver metal of the client’s name.

The seats are hand-crafted in navy-blue leather with accent stitching and monograms in Forge Yellow; similar contrast highlights appear on the fascia, door pockets and even the face of the brushed metal Bespoke clock.

The Bespoke Technical Clock was created with Navy Blue Anodised brushed stainless steel surround and accented with Forge Yellow.

The subtle accents with Forge Yellow highlights were developed especially for Ben’s project to harmonise with the dark blue interior scheme.

Each door panel is adorned with Christine’s personal racing logo – a stylized stiletto in embroidered leather – created by Christine and interpreted by a Bespoke specialist who previously worked as a shoe designer.

The Black Badge Cullinan complements the Bespoke Dawn Black Badge the Collective created for Ben in 2018.
