Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani Adds India’s First Bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan to His Luxury Car Collection
Mumbai (The Uttam Hindu) Mukesh Ambani, one of India's wealthiest individuals, has once again made headlines by adding another remarkable vehicle to his already extensive car collection. The chairman of Reliance Industries has acquired India's very first bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan further elevating his reputation for combining luxury with high-level security.
The Latest Addition to the Ambani Fleet
The Ambani family, renowned for their lavish lifestyle, owns the largest private car collection in India which is housed at the famed Jio Garage. While the precise number of vehicles in the collection remains a closely guarded secret, it is widely reported that the family possesses around 10 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUVs. Mukesh Ambani’s latest addition, the bulletproof version of the Cullinan is now the most prestigious vehicle in their fleet.
Price of the Bulletproof Cullinan
The standard Rolls-Royce Cullinan in India starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs 7.99 crore. However, Ambani’s latest acquisition, which has undergone extensive customization and bulletproof modifications, comes with a significant price tag, reportedly exceeding Rs 13 crore. The luxury SUV was first seen at a specialized workshop in Chandigarh, known for its expertise in bulletproofing vehicles. Equipped with advanced security features, including armor protection that adheres to high-security standards, the vehicle is built to withstand a variety of potential threats, making it an ideal choice for high-profile individuals like Ambani who require top-notch safety measures.
Features of Mukesh Ambani’s Bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Ambani’s bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan is powered by a powerful 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which ensures an exceptional and smooth driving experience. The SUV is designed to provide ample space and comfort for up to five passengers, and it is a Series I model that has been upgraded to meet the necessary bulletproof standards. The Ambani family’s growing preference for SUVs is evident, as they are often seen traveling in heavily fortified vehicles, such as the Mercedes-Benz S 680 Guard Sedans. This latest addition aligns with their desire for a blend of luxury, style, and protection.
Ambanis and Rolls-Royce: A Long-Standing Affiliation
The Ambani family’s relationship with Rolls-Royce dates back to 2019 when they made headlines by purchasing the first Cullinan model in India. The first Cullinan SUV was a striking brown color, followed by a white one in 2021. Over the years, their collection has expanded to include several top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce vehicles, such as the Phantom, Ghost, Tuscan Sun Cullinan, and Black Badge Cullinan. In 2022, the Ambanis added a third Cullinan to their collection, reportedly valued at Rs 13.14 crore. This particular model featured 21-inch wheels and additional premium features. It was also reported that Ambani paid a one-time road tax of Rs 20 lakh for this vehicle, along with a road tax fee of Rs 40,000.
The bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan not only enhances Ambani’s renowned car collection but also underscores his commitment to living life on an extraordinary scale, blending unparalleled luxury with uncompromised security.
