Bentley Motors recently unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Bentley Batur Convertible. Crafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s esteemed in-house bespoke division, the Batur Convertible is a fusion of opulence, innovation, and personalized craftsmanship. Limited to a select 16 examples worldwide, this new addition to Bentley’s lineup redefines the concept of bespoke luxury.
The Batur Convertible represents the culmination of Bentley’s rich heritage in open-air Grand Touring vehicles. Drawing inspiration from iconic models of the past, such as the Bacalar and Batur coupe, Mulliner has meticulously crafted a design that seamlessly blends heritage with modernity. The distinctive ‘airbridge’ behind the seats pays homage to classic Barchetta sports cars while incorporating contemporary elements for a dynamic driving experience.
The Bentley Batur Convertible boasts a sleek silhouette and vibrant Vermillion Gloss and Satin paintwork. It also features 22-inch wheels and a rear ‘airbridge’ design, reminiscent of classic sports cars that doubles as a luggage compartment. The convertible roof seamlessly transforms the car from a coupe to an open-top GT. With an infinite array of paint choices and customizable exterior brightware, each Batur Convertible uniquely expresses its owner’s individuality.
Inside the Batur Convertible’s cabin, a two-seat configuration, separated by a lavish center console, offers an intimate setting for the ultimate Grand Touring experience. Every surface reflects the owner’s personal taste, with options ranging from hand-painted graphics to 3D-printed rose gold accents. The result is a cabin that epitomizes bespoke craftsmanship.
The Bentley Batur Convertible is powered by a 750PS W12 engine, matched with an eight-speed double-clutch transmission. This engine configuration delivers 740 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, allowing the Batur Convertible to achieve a top speed of 209 mph. With enhancements including a revised intake system and upgraded turbochargers, this model offers exceptional performance and precision handling. The Batur Convertible is engineered to provide an exhilarating driving experience, whether on winding roads or open highways. With its powerful twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter engine, the Batur Convertible stands as a pinnacle of performance in Bentley’s lineup, offering unmatched power and dynamic capabilities.
Production of the Batur Convertible is limited to just 16 units, with each car meticulously handcrafted over several months at Bentley’s carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, England. As one of the last Bentleys to feature the iconic W12 engine, the Batur Convertible represents a rare and exclusive opportunity for automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
While pricing details have not been officially disclosed, industry experts estimate the base price to be around $2.1 million, in line with its coupe counterpart. With production scheduled to commence this summer, fortunate owners can expect to experience the Bentley Batur Convertible on the open road soon.
