Bentley Batur Convertible: A Limited Edition Marvel
New Delhi: Bentley’s prestigious Batur lineup now welcomes a convertible variant, poised to be the brand’s most opulent offering and one of Britain’s most formidable combustion-engine convertibles. Crafted by Bentley’s Mulliner coachbuilding division, this bespoke masterpiece is based on the Batur coupe and Bacalar, featuring a retractable roof and limited to a mere 16 units, each exceeding GBP 2 million in price.
Derived from the Continental GT, the Batur Convertible boasts a potent 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, delivering 750hp and 1,000Nm of torque. While specific performance details are yet to be disclosed, it’s anticipated to mirror the coupe’s impressive 3.4-second 0-100kph sprint and 336kph top speed.
What truly distinguishes each Batur Convertible is the unparalleled level of personalisation offered by Mulliner, allowing customers to manifest their automotive dreams. No two examples will be identical from an array of “infinite” paint choices to hand-painted graphics and bespoke metal bodywork trim finishes. Moreover, customers can customise the convertible top material and opt for lavish 3D-printed rose gold-trim elements throughout the cockpit.
The announcement that the Batur Convertible represents “one of the last ever” models to house Bentley’s renowned W12 engine suggests an imminent evolution in Bentley’s powertrain lineup. Nonetheless, this limited-edition marvel is a testament to Bentley’s commitment to luxury, performance, and bespoke craftsmanship.
With only 16 units available, the Bentley Batur Convertible emerges as an exclusive automotive masterpiece, encapsulating the essence of luxury motoring for discerning enthusiasts.
