Bentley Motors introduces the Batur Convertible, marking the third bespoke creation by Mulliner, Bentley’s renowned in-house bespoke division and the world’s oldest coachbuilder. Following the exceptional hand-crafted Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe, the Batur Convertible epitomizes Mulliner’s commitment to crafting uniquely tailored vehicles that reflect the desires of its discerning clientele.
Continuing the innovative design language introduced with its coupe counterpart, the Batur Convertible upholds Bentley’s rich heritage of open-cockpit vehicles, drawing inspiration from iconic predecessors like the Bacalar. The convertible architecture allows Mulliner’s designers to seamlessly blend elements from the Bacalar and Batur designs while offering the versatility of an open-top driving experience.
Featuring a distinctive ‘wraparound’ cockpit and sleek tapered cowls reminiscent of classic Barchetta sports cars, the Batur Convertible promises a dynamic yet luxurious adventure for two. Underneath its meticulously sculpted exterior, the Batur Convertible boasts Bentley’s legendary W12 engine in its most potent form yet, delivering 750 PS of power and 1,000 Nm of torque.
This hand-assembled 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, synonymous with Bentley’s success over the past two decades, propels the Batur Convertible to new heights of performance and refinement. As production of this iconic powertrain nears its end, the Batur Convertible stands as a testament to its enduring legacy.
Thanks to Mulliner’s bespoke design service, every aspect of the Batur Convertible can be tailored to the customer’s preferences. From exterior paint choices to interior materials and finishes, each Batur Convertible is a reflection of its owner’s unique taste and style. The extensive customization options include the exclusive use of 3D printed rose gold accents, meticulously crafted by expert goldsmiths in England’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
Limited to just 16 units, each Batur Convertible will be meticulously handcrafted at Mulliner’s workshop in Bentley’s carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, England. Among the last to feature Bentley’s iconic W12 engine, these exclusive vehicles represent the pinnacle of bespoke luxury and performance.
As a preview of what’s to come, the engineering development car, Batur Convertible Car #0, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that defines every Bentley creation. Featuring a bespoke Vermillion Gloss over Vermillion Satin duo-tone exterior finish and exquisite carbon fiber accents, this engineering marvel sets the standard for craftsmanship and innovation in the automotive industry.
