Bentley has launched the Bentley Mulliner Batur, a two-door grand touring coupe limited to only 18 units that heralds an era of a new design language at Bentley. The new design DNA will guide the design of Bentley's future range of Battery Electric Vehicles.
Status as a Mulliner means that owners will be able to have near limitless options to customise their Batur. For the exterior, paint choice is infinite starting with the full Mulliner colour palette and going on to fully bespoke paint and even hand painted graphics.
Love it or hate it, this is Bentley's new face of design from now on The aerodynamic front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser can be crafted in both carbon fibre or a new, sustainable natural fibre composite.
The Batur sits on unique 22-inch wheels, with the standard option being painted in Black Crystal and then surface bright machined and polished. A darker option combines dark gloss faces with satin spokes, while customers can also choose to paint match the wheels to the body with or without contrast finish.
The interior of the Batur, where owners will spend most of their time in, is probably the most important aspect of the car. In this regard, Bentley Mulliner has an array of options for owners to choose from.
Polished shuriken-like rims, which are painted in Black Crystal, give a sporting tone to the Batur Owners can choose from materials such as low carbon leather, sustainable tannage leather from Italy in five different colours, and Dinamica, an alternative suede-like sustainable material.
Clients will be able to choose between bright or dark treatments to the interior brightware, with titanium options being available too. Certain controls such as the organ stops for ventilation are available even in 3D printed 18K gold.
Bentley's sleek new Bacalar will boast the title of being the most powerful Bentley ever produced to date. The venerable twin-turbocharged W12 will produce 719bhp and 1,000Nm of torque.
Thanks to the Mulliner bespoke treatment, the Batur's interior is extra sumptuous The stonking powertrain will be paired to Bentley's eight-speed double clutch transmission. A sports exhaust fashioned out of titanium will feature to provide an aural experience to match the engine's sheer power.
Not only is the new Batur a powerhouse in the engine department, but it will also have a sophisticated chassis to match. Bentley Speed-tuned air suspension, electric active anti-roll control, eLSD, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring will all feature to make the Batur more enjoyable when the going gets twisty.
Also present are adaptive three-chamber air springs, each having three switchable chambers, changing the volume of the air spring and its effective stiffness. The driver can select the balance between ride comfort and body control using the four-mode Drive Dynamics Control in the centre console, choosing between Sport, Bentley, Comfort and Custom.
The Batur can be specified with interior elements fashioned out of gold, as seen here Stopping the heavy beast that is the Batur requires powerful stoppers. Bentley has considered this and have thus fitted carbon silicon carbide brakes with 440mm front and 410mm rear discs. They are matched with 10-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.
Bentley has reported that the whole production run of 18 cars have already been reserved, with each being designed collaboratively with each customer. Customers will be able to specify the colour and finish of almost every surface of the Batur to create a car which speaks of their individuality.
Each Batur will then be handcrafted over a course of several months at Bentley Mulliner's workshop at Bentley's carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, England. First deliveries are expected to be in mid-2023.
