The frozen lakes of Arjeplog, Sweden—BMW Group’s traditional winter proving ground—recently hosted a Rolls-Royce electric SUV undergoing cold-weather testing. The crucial detail: this isn’t the Cullinan’s electric replacement. It’s an entirely new model. Sources confirm this is a distinct model line that could coexist with a V12-powered Cullinan as well.

Born from motorsport necessity and engineering ambition, this 1.5-liter unit didn’t just dominate the sport’s turbo era – it pushed the very limits of what was considered possible in internal combustion

The BMW M1 Procar series only lasted two years, yet it still feels weirdly modern: identical cars, absurd driver lineup, and racing that mattered because nobody had a mechanical excuse. BMW ran it as a support show at European Formula 1 weekends in 1979 and 1980—five of the fastest F1 qualifiers dropped into matching M1s
