So it's a down-market Cullinan with more motor?

Don't know yet. Could be? Reportedly, 3 engine options. If it does go into production July 2022 as originally rumored, hopefully we'll be hearing more news and seeing more spyshots in the next several months.

jsmonet · 05-01-2021, 12:02 PM

Considering the Cullinan is a 4 seater x7 where Rolls grabbed the chassis off the line and threw their catalog of fun at the rest of it, this seems like a safe enough bet

TXSchnee · 05-01-2021, 07:04 PM

If they give the hybrid power close to the new Porsche Panamera 4S E Hybrid (552hp) and do not throw that ugly 4 Series grill on it, I will be seriously considering. If the price stays under $140k, it could be perfect.

Super interested to see how this call plays out. It's not likely going to be a candidate for me at the moment with three kids and a couple of dogs. We're maxing out the X7 as-is.

I saw this in the wild and really hope it isn't an X8 and some DCX product:

Ja I drove behind a black one in Northern Virginia, it was definitely a JGW. Got a video clip of it on the road, LOL.

These SUVs are getting bigger and bigger. Will BMW hop on the bandwagon?

"need of a diaper change", lol.

Looking forward to seeing how the X8 turns out

J_PNW · 05-21-2021, 03:04 PM

Hard to make much of that, but those rear arches have some nice flare!

TXSchnee · 05-25-2021, 11:29 AM

Not a good look for both test mules to have overheated after a few laps (per the article). Didn't the Tesla Model S Plaid have the same issue? Any ideas on what would cause this outside of being full BEV or PHEV?

Looks like a few privileged customers will see this beast on 11/17 and the rest of us on 11/29.

Exciting

Wild Blue · 11-04-2021, 04:01 PM

We'll indeed see, won't we? I'm very interested, although with multiple current issues like supply shortages, I'm not as hopeful as I used to be.
