Bentley delivers first Batur convertible

Bentley has delivered the first of its Mulliner-built Batur Convertibles.

The interior, created with the client’s detailed input, features a unique ‘one plus one’ design.

The driver’s cockpit and passenger seat are finished in contrasting but complementary colours.

A true one-off design, the exterior of the Batur Convertible is finished in Opalite with Beluga and Mandarin highlights.  

Strictly limited to a small number of cars, the Batur Convertible retains the most powerful version of Bentley’s iconic W12 hand-assembled engine.

Created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division and the longest standing coachbuilder in the world, the Batur Convertible is the third car in Mulliner’s Coachbuilt family, following the Bacalar barchetta and the Batur coupé.

The design of this first Batur Convertible emphasises the extraordinary performance of its 552kW 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine.

Mulliner’s in-house design team co-creates every Batur Convertible with its clients, working together through a specially created visualiser that allows any part of the car to be customised in colour and surface finish.

Opening the rear luggage compartment reveals another delightful bespoke element. A two-piece luggage set nestles within; one corresponding to the driver’s colour scheme in Beluga and the other in Linen. As a finishing touch, Mulliner also created two bespoke key cases in the two colourways. 

Like this car, each subsequent Batur Convertible will be as individual as its owner.
