The Rolls-Royce Cullinan like all future RR models beginning with the all-new Phantom inherit an all new aluminium architecture and space frame. Separate from existing BMWs so it is exclusive to Rolls-Royce only.
Of course they will use other lightweight knowhow in key areas of the car to help bring further weight reduction.

The X7 will be based off the new CLAR cluster architecture and also follow many other BMW models by inheriting the Carbon Core which allows CFRP to be placed within the most heaviest points of a chassis to provide more structural rigidity whilst off setting extra additional weight.
