Rolls-Royce has revealed a new series of bespoke Cullinan motor cars inspired by the world of yachting, with four individually commissioned vehicles reflecting the materials, movement and design codes of life at sea.
Presented at Goodwood in the UK, the Cullinan Yachting collection comprises four one-off vehicles themed around the cardinal directions, North, South, East and West, each expressed through distinct exterior finishes and interior detailing.
The commissions lean heavily into maritime influence, a space Rolls-Royce says is closely aligned with its global client base.
Each vehicle features marine-grade teak, hand-painted fascia artwork inspired by the wake of a tender cutting through water, and intricate marquetry compass motifs made from more than 40 individual pieces of wood veneer.
Hand-painted elements have become an increasingly sought-after feature among Rolls-Royce clients, with the brand employing dedicated artisans to develop bespoke interior compositions.
For the Cullinan Yachting series, the painted wake effect required months of experimentation to achieve a natural sense of movement.
Inside, the vehicles are finished in Arctic White and Navy Blue leather, with hand-stitched detailing designed to echo the structure of nautical ropework. A signature Rolls-Royce Starlight
Headliner has also been reimagined, with fibre-optic constellations arranged to reflect Mediterranean wind patterns.
Each car’s exterior colour has been developed to align with its directional theme, ranging from lighter blue tones evoking northern waters to deeper hues referencing warmer southern seas and storm-lit horizons.
Rolls-Royce said the collection reflects a longstanding relationship between the marque and the world of yachting, dating back to its co-founder Charles Rolls, whose family owned a steam yacht and travelled extensively through the Mediterranean.
The release underscores the growing demand for highly personalised vehicles among ultra-high-net-worth buyers, with Rolls-Royce increasingly positioning its cars as part of a broader luxury lifestyle that extends beyond the road.

< 1 minAutomobili Lamborghini and Babolat have unveiled a new evolution of the BL.001 padel racket, introducing five fresh colour variants for the limited-edition design collaboration between the Italian supercar marque and the French sporting giant.
First launched in 2024, the BL.001 marked the beginning of the partnership between the two brands, combining Lamborghini’s expertise in engineering and composite materials with Babolat’s long-standing pedigree in racket sports.
The latest edition was revealed at Lamborghini Arena, the brand’s annual showcase event, with production once again capped at just 50 units globally.
According to Lamborghini, the new collection places a stronger emphasis on colour and finish, elements the company describes as central to its design identity.
Produced at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese facilities using processes inspired by its super sports cars, the racket features a 3K carbon surface designed to maximise responsiveness, power and precision.
The frame is reinforced with KORIDION, a rigid foam technology intended to improve structural stiffness and energy transfer on impact, while maintaining a high level of control for players.
The companies said the collaboration reflects a shared focus on innovation and high performance, with the racket positioned as more than simply a sporting accessory.
The BL.001 will be exclusively showcased and tested during Lamborghini Arena 2026, taking place at Italy’s Imola Circuit on May 9 and 10, where media, influencers and guests will have the opportunity to trial the racket firsthand.
