On September 15th and November 4th, 2023, the license plate 30K-555.55 was auctioned online.

Recently, netizens have been sharing a photo of the most VIP license plate in Hanoi at the moment, which belongs to a white Rolls-Royce. According to our research, this Rolls-Royce is the Cullinan edition, with prices ranging from 32 billion VND to 45 billion VND, depending on the specifications and the license plate number.
So, with the super VIP license plate 30K-555.55, it is very likely that this is the most expensive Rolls-Royce Cullinan in Vietnam.
The target customers that Rolls-Royce is targeting for the Cullinan are wealthy individuals who want to own a luxurious, powerful, and practical SUV. This is the second model from Rolls-Royce to use the “Architecture of Luxury” aluminum platform. This platform was first introduced on the 8th generation Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan has two main options: 4 seats and 5 seats. Typically, wealthy individuals choose the 4-seat configuration, known as the Individual Seat, for their Rolls-Royce Cullinan. This means that the rear seats will only have 2 independent seats and a large center console that separates the seats, integrated with a wine cooler, whiskey glasses, and champagne flutes.
In addition, customers can customize the interior of the Cullinan according to their preferences, such as choosing the leather upholstery, wood trim, and interior color. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan comes with a spacious rear trunk, and the tailgate can be electrically controlled with a button on the smart key. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 560 liters or 1,930 liters when the rear seats are folded down.
The British luxury car manufacturer has ingeniously transformed the interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan into a mini hotel. The seats are comfortable, there is a mini refrigerator for the rear seats, a work desk, an entertainment screen, a premium entertainment system, and massage seats. Furthermore, Rolls-Royce offers an attractive option called the View Suite for the Cullinan, which includes rear seats with a panoramic view and a compartment for luggage.
The “heart” of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV is a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine, producing a maximum power of 563 horsepower and a peak torque of 850 Nm at 1,600 rpm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission, a full-time four-wheel drive system, and a brand-new four-wheel steering system.
There is one aspect that Rolls-Royce never compromises on when creating their SUV, and that is speed. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has a maximum speed limited to 250 km/h, comparable to luxury sedans, but the driving experience is top-notch. The transmission system comes with a satellite-assisted technology that allows smooth shifting.
The Cullinan’s drivetrain is equipped with a special “Everywhere” button, which enables the driver to use the full torque to slide on all terrains, from gravel, mud, snow, to wet grass and sand. Rolls-Royce also claims that the Cullinan is the luxury SUV with the highest water wading capability, at 540 mm.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s name is quite unique, as Cullinan is also known as the 3,106-carat flawless diamond on the British Crown Jewels, and many believe that the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the most expensive and largest diamond in the world that can move on the streets.
