GOODWOOD — Somewhere between a mountain meadow and a billionaire’s garage, Rolls-Royce has bloomed something truly rare: the Black Badge Cullinan Daisy. No, this isn’t a pastoral poetry reading—this is the marque’s latest one-of-one Bespoke creation, inspired by a client’s enduring love for hiking, resilience… and presumably, arriving at the trailhead in ultimate style.
The Black Badge Cullinan Daisy is named after the humble wildflower spotted on the client’s favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains—a blossom that thrives in adverse conditions, much like anyone brave enough to spec a Powder Blue SUV and still look menacing. This car isn’t just a tribute to the great outdoors; it’s a luxury love letter to nature, written in daisy petals, carbon fibre, and a solid eight figures’ worth of woodcraft.
Petal to the Metal: Exterior Elegance
The exterior balances toughness with tenderness—sort of like a bouncer who moonlights as a yoga instructor. A dainty daisy motif graces the Coachline, while the otherwise menacing Black Badge accents—the darkened grille, Spirit of Ecstasy, and trim—let you know this flower can still bite. The Powder Blue paint, meanwhile, adds the kind of contrast that screams gentle rebel.
Where Wood Talks and Stars Listen: Interior Innovations
Inside, it’s an artisanal masterclass. Sandblasted Blackwood forms a three-dimensional daisy mural across the fascia, giving the dash the texture of a flower frozen in time. Leather hues—Fleet Blue, Selby Grey, and Black—combine with piped seats and bespoke headrest monograms to craft an environment that feels like a five-star glamping trip in Monaco.
The pièce de résistance? A Starlight Headliner twinkling with constellations: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Gemini, and Taurus—each perfect for stargazing, provided you’re parked in a meadow with no light pollution and a valet on standby.
Because Even Your Umbrella Deserves Flair
Concealed in the rear Coach Doors are umbrellas that, once opened, reveal a daisy pattern inside—because nothing says “prepared hiker” like pulling floral-themed shelter from a £5 million SUV.
Hike More, Haul Better: The Recreation Module
The Cullinan Daisy also features a Recreation Module—a deployable drawer in the boot specifically designed to store hiking gear. Finally, a Rolls-Royce that asks not if you climb mountains, but how suavely.
A Story Etched in Craft
“This car is about capturing emotion through restraint,” said Martina Starke, Rolls-Royce’s General Manager of Bespoke Design. “And let’s be honest—very few restraints are more elegant than a daisy sandblasted into luxury timber.”
Commissioned by a client who made their fortune outfitting adventurers, the Black Badge Cullinan Daisy isn’t just a statement of wealth—it’s a statement of where wealth can take you, provided you pack your hiking boots (and a butler).
So next time someone tells you to stop and smell the flowers, make sure you’re doing it from the driver’s seat of a Rolls-Royce with a stargazing headliner and bespoke umbrellas. Because resilience, after all, is best enjoyed with all-wheel drive.
