Batur Convertible is a model with only 16 limited productions on the planet, and it is the third modern limited-edition Muliner coach-built model introduced by Bentley's Bespoke department Mulliner after Bacalar and Batur.
With its high scarcity and collective value, the Batur convertible is one of the last models to be equipped with Bentley's iconic 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbo engine, with phenomenal performance of 750 horsepower (PS) and maximum torque of 102.0 kg.m. All 16 Batur convertibles offer unlimited Bespoke options, reflecting the collector's vision and personality.
The exterior of the Batur convertible engineering prototype vehicle unveiled in Dubai is another example of the art of the possibility of Mulliner Bespoke Studios.The combination of dynamic color conversion and high-performance materials, implemented with Midnight Emerald exterior colors and high-gloss carbon fiber finishes, brings Batur convertible to life.
The matrix pattern of the front grill with satin dark titanium finish adds visual intensity by adding a gradient effect that changes from Gloss Mandarin to Gloss Beluga.
The Batur-specific racing stripe, finished in Gloss Porpoise and Gloss Mandarin colors, crosses the center of the bold-designed body, and the color combination is configured to match the interior leather color, organically connecting to the interior that looks like an open-top niche.
The interior, which is in harmony with the exterior, adds mandarin stitches and piping points to the leather of Cambrian Green and Popeise colors, and is home to precision-processed titanium organ stops and bullseye air vents.Manufactured by Mulliner's sophisticated "guitar fade" method, the veneer shows a combination of two colors and textures, and a laser engraving depicting the beating sound of the W12 engine is engraved.
Bentley has a long tradition of open cockpit two-seater grandtourists, from the first car, the EXP1, built in 1919, to the early 1920s and the newest model, the baccala.The design of Batur Convertible, the pinnacle of this tradition, is an aesthetic and engineering achievement of Mulliner designers to fuse the designs of Baccala and Batur Coupe, an open cockpit roadster, and to add to the all-weather nature of convertible.The cockpit with a baccala-inspired "wrap-around" design further highlights the characteristics of the two-seater convertible.
Mulliner Bespoke Studios co-create a complete custom Bespoke vehicle with customers through a dedicated commissioning program exclusively for Batur Convertible.Instead of choosing one of the options on offer, the customer can place a completely free-to-determine order, completely Bespoke every element of the vehicle, including color and finish, and make dreams a reality.
The choice of near-infinity materials adds to the vehicle's unique texture and sensation, and the 16 Batur convertible finally makes it a true custom piece for only one customer on the planet.The exterior color basically provides all of Mulliner's color palettes, and complete Bespoke paint and hand painting element selection are also possible.
Details such as molding and grilling on the outside can be ordered from special materials such as bright chrome and dark black, matte and glossy, and even titanium, and a lively color gradient can also be added to the radiator grill.
3D printed rose gold buttons and dials are applied to elements such as the Bentley drive mode selector on the interior, the details surrounding the start button, and the chassis control dial on the vehicle.The Rose Gold option can also be applied to the details of the air vent organ stop or steering wheel on the dashboard.
This original rose gold part is made in collaboration with professional fast workers who have been making jewelry for centuries in Birmingham, England, which illustrates Bentley's sense and ability to incorporate advanced manufacturing technology into traditional materials and craftsmanship.
Combining Bentley's technology represented by the W12 engine, craftsmanship revealed in the tradition of coaching buildings, and the heritage of the Open Cockpit Grand Touror, the 16 Batur convertible is handcrafted by artisans over several months at the Mulliner Workshop in Bentley Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
