Bentley Batur Convertible Crafted by Mulliner
One look is all it takes to fall in love with the Batur Convertible. The grille is pure art, featuring a main matrix finished in Gloss Dark Titanium, accented by contrast chevrons in a horizontal ombré pattern that flows from Beluga in the center to vibrant Vermillion Gloss on the sides. The hood line is also finished in Gloss Dark Titanium paint, matching the 22″ wheels, which have spokes in Gloss and Satin Black Titanium with Vermillion Gloss accents, showcasing the elegance of British design.
Bentley has a rich history of open-cockpit cars, dating back to the very first Bentley of 1919 and spanning through the company’s formative years in the 1920s, up to the most recent addition – the Bacalar. The architecture of the Batur Convertible has enabled Mulliner’s designers to seize the opportunity to craft a theme that not only harmonizes the design elements of the Bacalar and Batur but also integrates the practicality of a convertible. Additionally, the designers emphasize the two-seater nature by incorporating a ‘wraparound’ cockpit inspired by the Bacalar’s design.
Bentley reveals the third coach-built Bentley of the modern era the Batur Convertible. Created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division and the longest-standing coach-builder in the world, the Batur Convertible follows the exquisitely hand-crafted Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe. With the Batur Convertible, Mulliner continues its long tradition of crafting truly individual cars, tailored to the wishes of each of its extraordinary clients.
The Batur Convertible furthers the innovative design DNA introduced by its coupe sibling that will ultimately guide the design of Bentley’s future cars. The Batur Convertible retains the most powerful version of Bentley’s iconic W12, with a 750 PS, hand-assembled 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine that has metaphorically and powered Bentley’s success for the last two decades. With the engine to finish production this summer, the Batur Convertible will be one of the last ever Bentleys to use this incredible engine.
When one is ready for Batur Convertible, Mulliner’s in-house design team will help co-create every Batur Convertible with its customer, working together through a specially created Mulliner visualizer that allows any part of the car to be customized in color and surface finish. Endless samples of unique materials bring texture to the process, and the resulting designs will be truly individual and created by the customer – limited only by their imagination
Strictly limited to 16 examples worldwide, the Batur Convertible innovates in color and materiality never seen before on a production Bentley, inspired by the depths of nature
