Mansory has just created its craziest Rolls-Royce Cullinan to date. The finished product is called the Lineo D’Oro and was built for the tuner’s official showroom in Dubai. So, what makes it special?
First is the name. In 2010, Mansory released a one-off Bugatti Veyron dubbed the Lineo D’Oro. That car was clad in exposed carbon fiber bodywork with chrome accents and 14 years after its launch, remains as identifiable as ever. This one-off Cullinan follows a similar recipe and achieves similarly outlandish results.

The exterior of the SUV has been adorned with the latest iteration of Mansory’s Cullinan bodywork parts. These include revised front and rear bumpers, an extended front splitter, side skirts, flared wheel arches, a rear spoiler, and a special diffuser. Most of these parts are painted in gloss black but some, such as the hood, trim on the D-pillars, the rear spoiler, and the diffuser are finished in forged carbon fiber.
But, this isn’t ordinary carbon fiber. Mansory has incorporated genuine gold inlays into the forged carbon. The result may be a little over-the-top but it looks impressive in photos and probably better in person. The front grille, side window surrounds, door handles, and door trims are also finished in gold. A set of massive 24-inch forged wheels with a gold finish have also been fitted.
There’s lots going on in the interior, too. The seats have been retrimmed in luscious black leather with small gold details, including the piping and stitching. The cabin also features lots of bright gold accents and forged carbon fiber parts to mimic the exterior.
Some tweaks have also been made to the engine. In stock form, the twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 produces 571 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) but Mansory has lifted those numbers up to 610 hp and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm). The SUV can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5 seconds and reach a 174 mph (280 km/h) top speed.
