A photo of the most prestigious license plate in Hanoi has been circulating among netizens. The license plate belongs to a white Rolls-Royce, specifically the Cullinan edition, which can fetch prices ranging from 32 billion VND to 45 billion VND, depending on the specifications and license plate number.
It is highly likely that this Rolls-Royce Cullinan with the super VIP license plate 30K-555.55 is the most expensive one in Vietnam.
The target customers for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan are wealthy individuals who desire a luxurious, powerful, and practical SUV. This model is the second one from Rolls-Royce to adopt the “Architecture of Luxury” aluminum platform, which was first introduced in the 8th generation Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers two main options: 4 seats and 5 seats. Wealthy individuals often opt for the 4-seat configuration, known as the Individual Seat, for their Rolls-Royce Cullinan. This means that the rear seats consist of 2 independent seats and a spacious center console housing a wine cooler, whiskey glasses, and champagne flutes.

Cullinan customers can also customize the interior according to their preferences, from choosing the leather upholstery, wood trim, to deciding on the interior color. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan provides a spacious rear trunk, and the tailgate can be electrically controlled through a smart key button. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 560 liters, which can expand to 1,930 liters when the rear seats are folded down.
The British luxury car manufacturer has transformed the interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan into a mini hotel. The seats are exceptionally comfortable, and there is a mini refrigerator for the rear seats, a work desk, an entertainment screen, a premium entertainment system, and massage seats. Additionally, Rolls-Royce offers an attractive option called the View Suite for the Cullinan, which offers rear seats with a panoramic view and a dedicated luggage compartment.
Powering the Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV is a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine, capable of 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.
Speed is one aspect that Rolls-Royce never compromises on when designing their SUVs. The maximum speed of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is limited to 250 km/h, comparable to luxury sedans, while providing a supreme driving experience. The transmission system incorporates satellite-assisted technology to ensure smooth shifts.
Furthermore, the Cullinan features a special “Everywhere” button in its drivetrain, which allows the driver to utilize full torque on various terrains, including gravel, mud, snow, wet grass, and sand. Rolls-Royce also boasts that the Cullinan has the highest water wading capability among luxury SUVs, at 540 mm.
The name of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan carries a unique significance, as Cullinan is renowned as the flawless 3,106-carat diamond present in the British Crown Jewels. Many consider the Rolls-Royce Cullinan as the most expensive and largest “mobile diamond” in the world.
