Head-Turning Rolls-Royce Cullinan Replica Arrives At Ghana Port Without The ₦1 Billion Price Tag

A trending video has captured the arrival of a Chinese-made replica of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan at Ghana’s Tema Port. The vehicle was reportedly spotted during a car inspection, where its imposing design immediately caught the attention of workers and onlookers.

To an untrained eye, the replica looks remarkably similar to the genuine Rolls-Royce Cullinan, particularly from the front. Its upright grille, headlight design and overall front-end styling closely mimic those of Rolls-Royce’s flagship luxury SUV, although it lacks the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament.

However, the differences become more noticeable when the replica Cullinan is viewed from the side, as it features a conventional rear-door arrangement rather than the Rolls-Royce-style suicide doors.

Additionally, the rear design and cabin, while evoking the look and feel of the original Cullinan, do not appear to match the craftsmanship, refinement, and attention to detail associated with a genuine Rolls-Royce.

The SUV looks like what you would get if you cloned a first-generation Cullinan and blended it with a Volkswagen Golf. While the identity of the buyer remains unknown, the vehicle highlights the appeal of Chinese replicas to buyers who want a car that looks luxurious without paying the sky-high price of the original.

The trending video has since sparked reactions online, with viewers comparing the replica with the real Rolls-Royce Cullinan and pointing out the differences that become obvious from the rear and inside the cabin.

In Nigeria, a genuine Rolls-Royce Cullinan can cost between ₦500 million and ₦1.7 billion, depending on the series and whether it is a Black Badge variant. Once government taxes, import duties and other associated charges are factored in, the luxury SUV becomes far beyond the reach of many buyers.
