Rolls-Royce ute rendered

If Mercedes-Benz can make a pick-up, why not Rolls-Royce?

Just when you thought the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Silver Surfer Rip Curl Edition was the highest-profile, most expensive and wildest Roller ever, the world's most luxurious ute comes along.

Rendered by CG artist Rain Prisk, who isn't shy about transforming luxury SUVs into utes (past creations include Range Rover Velar ute and BMW X7 pick-up trucks) the make-believe Rolls-Royce Culli-ute would be the ideal ride for well-heeled Middle Eastern royalty looking for a dune basher, or perhaps ultra-wealthy Aussie drovers looking for nice Sunday cruiser.

The interior of the hand-crafted Rolls-Royce Cullinan is top-shelf

Given the vehicle's extended length, jacked-up ride height and pumped wheel-arches, it might also appeal to North American audiences, especially the gangster rapper crowd. You can almost see Jay Z and Kayne blasting around Hollywood in one of these.

Based on the $685,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, whose 2660kg bulk is motivated by a monstrous turbocharged 12-cylinder petrol engine, the interior of this striking pick-up can be expected to feature hand-crafted bespokedom at every turn.

As we discovered at the Rolls-Royce HQ in Goodwood, deep within the Atelier bespoke room, the interior could include custom parquetry, hand-stitched leather upholstery covering every conceivable surface, plush-pile carpets and supple cushioning fit for royalty.

Will the Rolls-Royce Cullinan make the transition to ute?

The rear tray (lined with polished mahogany, naturally) adds extra utility, tailor-made for isolating randy livestock, transporting the posse across town or just helping a mate pick up flat-pack furniture from Ikea.

The dual-cab ute features four doors for easy access to both seating rows, the rear doors are hinged at the rear and you can bet your bottom dollar there's a champagne chiller in there somewhere.

Featuring a roof spoiler, curved rear window and trademark LED tail-lights, the Cullinan ute would stand out like a big wart on the face of an otherwise-unblemished supermodel.

Back seat passengers are well taken care of

Power? Yeah, there's a bit.

The British beast's 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 pumps out a handy-dandy 420kW and 850Nm, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Towing capacity for the dual-cab ute? Above average. Circle work at the Deni ute muster? Outstanding.

The chances of Rolls-Royce ever building a ute like this are pretty slim, but given the brand's exceedingly wealthy clientele have the ways and means to make anything happen, it's possible a wild creation like this could see the light of day at some stage.
