First Bentley Batur Convertible Customer Car Debuts

Production Of The Limited-Edition Drop-Top Gets Underway

For those who won’t settle for off-the-rack luxury cars, Bentley’s Mulliner personalization division offers a range of options for bespoke builds. To show off Mulliner’s capabilities, Bentley has started building small-batch models, including the Bacalar roadster and now the Batur, which is being build in coupe and convertible forms. The first Batur Convertible is ready to be delivered to its owner.

Batur Convertible production is limited to 16 units (two less than the Batur Coupe), but the first customer car should stand out even in that rarified company. Its anonymous owner chose unique decor for both the exterior and interior, with contrasting colors throughout.

‘One Plus One’

What Bentley calls the “One Plus One” interior features a driver’s seat trimmed in Beluga black leather and Alcantara, and a passenger’s seat in contrasting Linen gray. The same colors repeat in the luggage area behind the seats (Bentley included a matching two-piece luggage set as well), while Mandarin orange stitching ties everything together.

The dashboard and steering wheel incorporate the same dark-and-light color combination, which also nicely blends the dash with the door panels. The wheel also has a machined-titanium center mark, and that aerospace material was also used for the paddle shifters, rotary controls on the steering wheel and center console, and Bentley’s signature organ-stop air vent controls.

The exterior is finished in Opalite blue with a black-and-orange racing stripe. It’s painted onto the bodywork, with stitching on the tonneau cover that helps create a continuous line from nose to tail. The grille and wheels are black, with orange highlights to match the stripe.

W12 Sendoff

Named after Bali’s Lake Batur, the Batur is the last production car with Bentley’s W12 engine, production of which ended last July. The unique engine is being replaced with V8 plug-in hybrid powertrains in most Bentley models, while the Bentayga Speed just swapped its W12 for a twin-turbo V8 without hybrid assist.

In Batur models, the twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 produces 740 horsepower—the most in any production Bentley W12. Bentley has said the coupe is capable of zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 209 mph; the convertible should be in the same ballpark.

Bentley first showed the Batur Coupe in 2022 and debuted the convertible last year. Development work with a pair of prototypes has been underway since that time. One of those prototypes, which Bentley calls “Car Zero” appeared at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed last month and will also be displayed at 2025 Monterey Car Week. Unlike the first customer car, it’s finished in a vibrant vermillion livery.
