Bentley unveils Batur Convertible; Limited to 16 pieces, sold out

New Delhi: In a significant reveal, Bentley Motors has introduced the Batur Convertible, marking the third coachbuilt creation of the modern era from Mulliner, Bentley's in-house bespoke division.

This new convertible follows in the footsteps of the Bacalar barchetta and Batur coupe, embodying Mulliner's legacy of personalized automobiles tailored to each client's desires, the company said in a media release.

The Batur Convertible showcases a continuation of Bentley's innovative design direction initiated by its coupe counterpart, destined to influence forthcoming Bentley models. It comes with Bentley's iconic W12 engine, delivering an impressive 750 PS from its 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged powerhouse—a definitive nod to Bentley's legacy of performance excellence spanning two decades.

Designed for grand touring, the Batur Convertible pays homage to Bentley's open-cockpit vehicles, blending elements from the Bacalar and Batur while enhancing usability with a convertible roof. It features an 'airbridge' behind the seats and tapered cowls reminiscent of classic barchetta sports cars.

The convertible roof, deployable in just 19 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h), transforms the Batur from a luxurious coupe to an open-top grand tourer—a testament to both functionality and elegance.

Mulliner's involvement ensures every Batur Convertible is a truly bespoke creation, allowing customers to co-create their dream vehicle through a specially designed visualizer tool, offering limitless customization options for color, materials, and finish. This collaborative process ensures that each Batur Convertible is a unique expression of its owner's individuality.

Crafted over several months at Bentley's carbon-neutral facility in Crewe, England, production of the Batur Convertible is limited to just 16 units—each a tribute to Bentley's iconic W12 engine, showcasing its ultimate performance potential in its farewell iterations, the company said.
