First Bentley Batur Convertible with unique ‘One plus One’ design revealed

Bentley presents the first Batur Convertible by Mulliner, featuring a 740 bhp W12 engine and a unique interior concept separating driver and passenger zones.

The first Bentley Batur Convertible has rolled out of Crewe, a one-of-a-kind creation by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division. Representing a new chapter in the Coachbuilt family, it showcases how far personalisation can go when a client and designers work in close collaboration.

Its most striking feature is the “One plus One” interior concept, which separates the driver’s and passenger’s environments both functionally and visually. The driver’s side is wrapped in deep Beluga tones with Mandarin leather accents forming a dedicated “capsule,” while the passenger’s side is finished in light Linen shades with the same accents offering a different ambiance. Even the keys, seat belts, and luggage set echo this duality.

On the outside, the car is finished in Opalite with a gloss Beluga racing stripe flanked by fine Mandarin lines. This stripe, integrated into the bodywork, runs from the grille over the bonnet, across the cockpit’s airbridge, and onto the rear deck, ending at the Bentley wings emblem. The same motif appears as bespoke embroidery on the rear Tonneau.

Under the bonnet lies the most powerful W12 in Bentley’s history: a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine producing 740 bhp and around 1000 Nm of torque. While Bentley has not disclosed the price, the coupe version of the Batur sold for around $2 million, suggesting a similar figure. Production is strictly limited to fewer than 20 examples.

The interior detailing reflects meticulous craftsmanship: solid titanium components are precision-machined, panels feature decorative “engine spin” finishing, and the centre console is adorned with gloss Beluga veneer. Every element, from the steering wheel’s “Top Dead Centre” marker to the organ stop air vent controls, underscores the pursuit of individuality.

The model made its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the engineering prototype Car Zero tackled the iconic hill climb. It will soon head to the United States for Monterey Car Week, set to appear among the finest automotive creations. Judging by early reactions, the Batur Convertible is poised to become one of the year’s most talked-about cars—not only for its rarity but also as a symbol of the W12 era’s grand finale in Bentley’s lineup.
