Minimum wealth requirement? Or, perhaps, age?

Not sure if it was a hybrid.
The “70” at the back indicates the top legal speed this vehicle is allowed to travel at or its current top speed. But when I see these test mules on the Autonbahn they’re usually going much faster.
In Europe you will have similar stickers on the back of slow vehicles like tractors, buses etc. Some buses have “90” stickers indicating they are legally permitted to drive 90 km/h despite buses and trucks being legally limited to 80 km/h on highways and roads.

The Final Challenge...by National Geographic
"Several years ago, Rolls-Royce announced it would create a mold-breaking SUV that would make luxury travel effortless, everywhere. Now, the much anticipated new Rolls-Royce Cullinan faces only one Final Challenge.
Not since the infamous 1913 Alpine Trial with the legendary Silver Ghost, has a car embarked on such an epic ordeal. The super-luxury Cullinan will take on a multitude of punishing terrains and altitudes—all in the public eye with Cory Richards of National Geographic. Cory and the Cullinan will journey the Highlands of Scotland, the gigantic dunes of the Arabian Desert, and the toughest landscapes the USA has to offer.
We’ll broadcast daily updates sharing Cory’s evocative descriptions, spectacular scenery, and the unique individuals he meets along the way."

Rolls-Royce Cullinan First National Geographic Clips Emerge
Rolls-Royce Cullinan First National Geographic Clips Emerge
Just as promised at the beginning of the month, Rolls-Royce has begun the slow unveiling process for the Cullinan, the company’s first ever SUV. Or, as they like to call it, the high-sided all-terrain vehicle.
38 photos
There are currently several clips uploaded on the brand’s Youtube page, and another one, the one you see below, posted on the company’s Facebook account.
“Rolls-Royce Cullinan is almost ready to be released to the world. Only one epic trial stands in its way. Let the Final Challenge begin,” Rolls Royce said in the post accompanying the video.
Officially, the Cullinan will be properly introduced to the world in a few months’ time. That is why the SUV still wears a battledress in the road adventure that would take it from the starting line in the Scottish Highlands all the way to the United States, via Austria and the Middle East.
The road adventure of the Cullinan will unfold during April and May, and it is being documented by photographer Cory Richards and a National Geographic team. Periodically, all parties involved will release videos and stills portraying the car in the most challenging environments.
“In partnership with Rolls-Royce, National Geographic pushes Cullinan to its limits in an expedition to capture iconic images of the world’s most extreme landscapes,” says the carmaker on its website.
The numbers that will underpin the SUV are not yet known. The car has been spied several times, including with suicide doors for the rear passengers, meaning a good deal of space for access.
Under the hood, Rolls-Royce will likely hide the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 used on the Phantom. On that model, the engine has an output of 460 hp and 720 Nm of torque and a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h).
Other figures are of course to be expected on the bigger Cullinan.

That rear door seems rather small relative to the rest of the car. I can see that they're suicide doors, but it still doesn't look as long as it should. Will an EWB version be available down the track?
