You may not be able to afford a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but you can get your own perfect sale model of the luxury SUV that has exact details even down to fully functioning exterior lights.

And the luxury brand has its founder as an example of why it is making a 1:8 scale replica of a full-sized Cullinan at the company’s Goodwood plant.

Sir Henry Royce once said, “Small things make perfection, but perfection is no small thing.”

Like a full-sized Cullinan, the scale model is hand-made, taking up to 450 hours to produce. And again like the full-sized Cullinan, the model is made to the client’s specification, from more than 1000 individual components.

The replica is hand-painted using Rolls-Royce colour-matched paint, then hand-polished to the marque’s exacting specification; the coachline is even applied using a fine brush, just as it is on the original.

Clients may choose from a palette of around 40,000 ‘standard’ colours, or replicate their own personal Bespoke finish. The fully functioning exterior lights are operated by a Cullinan-branded remote control; under the bonnet is a perfect likeness of the ‎iconic 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine.

On opening the coach doors, illuminated treadplates are revealed, leading to an interior designed and executed with the materials, skill and attention to detail lavished on Cullinan itself.

From the headrest embroidery and wood finishes to seat piping and stitching, these Bespoke creations allow clients to recreate their full-size vehicle with astonishing accuracy, or even envision future Cullinans to add to their collection.

Presented in a display case at almost a metre in length, the replica is set on a gloss-black base mounted on a plinth allowing it to be appreciated from all angles. The Perspex window can be removed enabling the minutiae of the doors, luggage compartment and engine bay to be viewed in detail.

All that detail comes at a price. The full-sized Cullinan starts at NZ$505,000 while the scale model is NZ$27,000.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ chief executive, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, said, “This scale replica brings a new dimension to Cullinan’s Effortless, Everywhere philosophy. Our super-luxury SUV is now as perfectly at ease in the serene surroundings of its owner’s residence as it is in the most challenging and hostile terrain on Earth.” He continued, “It demonstrates, and reminds us as a company, that Inspiring Greatness applies at every scale. It is not just about the big things: we seek and achieve greatness in everything we do, down to the smallest item and minutest detail.”
