Crewe, UK – August 7, 2025 — Bentley Motors has officially unveiled the first production unit of the Batur Convertible, the most powerful open-top Grand Tourer in the brand’s storied history. Commissioned by Bentley’s Mulliner division — the world’s oldest coachbuilder — this one-off masterpiece represents the zenith of personalization, craftsmanship, and performance. Combining the visceral thrill of 740 bhp from a twin-turbo W12 engine with bespoke design cues, the Batur Convertible is an unapologetically exclusive celebration of Bentley’s heritage and future.
Art Meets Engineering: An Exterior Built for Emotion
Clad in a shimmering Opalite silver body, the Batur Convertible evokes timeless elegance fused with purposeful aggression. A striking Beluga black racing stripe, bordered by fine Mandarin orange pinstripes, runs seamlessly from the front grille to the rear deck — painted directly onto the body with meticulous precision. The result? A visual statement that commands attention, yet whispers exclusivity.
The gloss black matrix grille, complete with Mandarin highlights, sits proudly at the front, flanked by signature Bentley headlamps. The same color motif is echoed in the five-spoke alloy wheels, designed not just for aesthetic impact, but for optimized aerodynamic performance. At the rear, the continuity of design is reinforced by a bespoke embroidered pattern on the Tonneau cover, forming a harmonious flow from front to back.
Interior «One Plus One» Concept: Personalized Luxury Redefined
Inside, Bentley introduces a daring «One plus One» dual-theme cockpit, where the driver and passenger each enjoy distinct color environments. The driver’s side is finished in deep Beluga black leather and Alcantara, creating a cocooned, performance-focused zone, while the passenger side offers a contrasting atmosphere in Linen hide, designed for calm and comfort.
The Mandarin orange highlights serve as a unifying thread between both sides — appearing in contrast stitching, door inserts, and a leather band that flows across the dashboard. Even the steering wheel features dual-tone materials with Mandarin cross-stitching and titanium detailing, emphasizing Bentley’s commitment to hand-finished excellence.
Every detail has been obsessively considered: engine-turned satin black trims, gloss Beluga veneers, machined titanium paddles, and air vent bezels elevate the tactile experience. Behind the seats, the luggage area mirrors the dual-tone theme — Beluga for the driver, Linen for the passenger — complete with two color-matched, bespoke key cases.
A Farewell to the W12 — In Style
Under the hood, the Batur Convertible houses Bentley’s legendary 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, tuned to deliver an awe-inspiring 740 horsepower. Hand-assembled in Crewe, this powerplant represents one of the final iterations of the W12 before Bentley transitions toward full electrification. This makes the Batur Convertible not only a symbol of luxury but also a collector’s item, embodying the swan song of one of the greatest engines in automotive history.
From Goodwood to Monterey: A Global Debut
The Batur Convertible Car Zero — Bentley’s engineering development model — made its high-speed debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, turning heads and ears alike. Now, it crosses the Atlantic for its public appearance at Monterey Car Week, showcasing a different livery in Vermilion Gloss over Vermilion Satin, further demonstrating the limitless personalization potential that Mulliner offers.
This vehicle is the third addition to Bentley’s Coachbuilt portfolio, following the Bacalar and Batur coupé. Each unit of the Batur Convertible will be individually co-created with its owner, using an advanced digital visualizer to fine-tune everything from surface finishes to stitching color. Production will be strictly limited to a handful of cars, each as unique as the individual commissioning it.
VALLTRO:
As Bentley edges toward a fully electrified future, the Batur Convertible doesn’t resist change — it celebrates legacy.It’s an ode to personalization, craftsmanship, and the idea that in a world racing toward uniformity, individuality still matters. This isn’t just a car; it’s a mobile art installation powered by 740 British horses. And for those lucky enough to own one, it’s a reminder that automotive greatness is not mass-produced — it’s handbuilt, tailored, and timeless.
