As guests arrived, most of them interestingly drove in their classy Rolls-Royce cars. There was a roll call of different variants of Rolls-Royce cars parked on the green lawn before guests were ushered into the expansive dining area for dinner. On the list of the Rolls-Royce’s roll call of honours in addition to the Cullinan were the new Phantom, the Black Badge Ghost amongst others. It seemed as if the ultimate visa to be a part of the dinner was owning a Rolls-Royce car!

Well-dressed ushers led the carefully selected Ultra HNIs to the welcome cocktail in the waiting room in the house and later moved to the dining table well decorated with flowers and other bespoke accessories. Being a part of this Rolls-Royce exclusive evening right at the house of the Deputy British High Commissioner to Nigeria makes Coscharis Motors, the exclusive franchisee of Rolls-Royce in Nigeria deliver the British iconic luxury brand experience in Nigeria a perfect match.

The Deputy British High Commissioner in person of Laure Beaufils started the dinner part of the evening welcoming everyone to the ‘country home’ of Rolls-Royce in Nigeria which is her official residence expressing her excitement in co – hosting the select VVIIPs to an exclusive dinner event to celebrate the British luxury brand.

Who in his words said “we are excited with this gathering of credible Rolls-Royce enthusiasts gathered here today to view our new variants to further delight them as Nigeria remains one of our growing market with great potentials”.

Earlier in 2018, Rolls-Royce Motor Car announced the debut of its first Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), Cullinan, an automobile that can be referred to as a show of absolute freedom. The SUV is the pinnacle of luxury that shows lovers of Rolls-Royce can live their desired luxury lifestyle in all-terrain, whether off-road or on the road. It is named after the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered.

The Cullinan sits above the Ghost and below the Phantom in Rolls-Royce’s line-up.  Series production of the Cullinan began in the second half of 2018 while first customer deliveries started taking place in the first quarter of 2019. The car is reported to have started its testing phase on 2nd January 2016 and has been tested on different terrain including on snow.

Its innovative features enhance every journey and make your driving experience truly luxurious. The signature Rolls-Royce motifs on the SUV speak to a heritage of perfection, and the mastery of craft creates a new dimension in luxury adventure. In every way, Cullinan has come to change the game.

The Cullinan is an incomparable luxury that Rolls-Royce is known for wherever your adventure takes you with its elegant interior design.

The Viewing Suite in the rear cabin which slides out of the compartment with a single button consists of two leather seats and a cocktail table. Its bespoke configuration gives you the best place in the house for the most beautiful views in the world.

Also, guests had the unique privilege to preview the latest Phantom. Phantom is not only the ultimate status symbol, but it is also the holy grail of handcrafted luxury automobiles. Its decadent design is derived from an aluminum structure that rides atop an air suspension for euphoric comfort. It is an excellent way to show the world the finest of a luxury automobile.

Phantom comes with an interior tailored for kings which can be adorned with a custom-artwork dash. Acres of wood, real metal accents and vast expanses of fine leather cover nearly every square inch of the cabin. Rolls-Royce offers both a standard- and long-wheelbase version of the Phantom, with the latter being 8.6 inches longer, much of which is offered as additional rear-seat legroom.

Rear-hinged coach doors open to allow easy ingress and egress to the rear seat where passengers can be treated to a myriad of luxuries such as deep-pile carpeted floor mats, power-adjustable seats with massage, a refrigerated console compartment, and remote controls for the car’s infotainment system. Its dizzying array of optional tech includes night vision and a distinct laser-light system, but Rolls-Royce also offers more mundane driver-assistance features such as forward collision and lane-departure warning as standard.

The 2019 Black Badge Ghost that was also previewed at the event. With the Black Badge, Rolls-Royce unleashed, its aura intensified. More power, more audacity, more spirit. The boldest expression of Rolls-Royce is crafted for those who will never conform.

It is Rolls-Royce’s masterpiece of sculptural grace with its daring aesthetic. Black Badge Ghost is a tenacious incarnation of elegance and a beacon for those who defy convention. Black Badge adds a supernatural power to Ghost’s elegant charisma. Enhanced performance makes this the fastest Ghost ever. Within the opulent interior of the Black Badge, the Piano Black veneer surrounds you with an echo of darkness.

To this end, the event offered the exclusive owners of Rolls-Royce cars and those who are about to join this private club to mingle and know one another in an intimate setting. In attendance at the event were top management of Coscharis Motors, the Rolls-Royce Team from England and the deputy British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ms Laure Beaufils.
