After creating the Blower Continuation and Speed Six Continuation, Bentley’s high-end coachbuilding arm, Mulliner moved their attention to a first modern car project, Bacalar. With the demand that followed, the next arrivals come in the form of Batur and Batur Convertible, limited to 18 and 16 units respectively, with the Coupe commanding a cool £1.65M + taxes and options, taking it through the £2M mark.
What does that car? The ultimate last hurrah to the famous and iconic W12 engine, in its most powerful variant ever with 740hp and 1,000Nm torque. The 6.0l twin turbo 12-cylinder has powered some of the legendary Bentley’s of recent years and has roots stretching back decades. The model features new styling that would preview the next generation Bentley models including the upcoming BEV due next year.

You won’t be surprised to find out that it also pushes the envelopes in terms of materials, design details and special elements that you won’t find elsewhere. From the paint techniques and embroideries, to the animated under-door lights, there’s a lot to explore.
