Bentley’s coach built Batur by Mulliner, has completed its vehicle development project and will feature an exceptional level of bespoke craftsmanship which takes about four months to handcraft, with the last one to be completed at the end of 2024. 18 Batur customer cars will be produced by hand in the Mulliner workshops. The W12 engine that powers Batur can trace its origins back to the Continental GT of 2003.
Tests include 600 hours of solar loading, equivalent to five years in an Arizona desert, to ensure that the sustainable materials used in the Batur’s construction will be robust enough to endure a lifetime’s use, and speed testing beyond 200 mph.
All 18 examples of Batur have already been reserved, and each customer can now continue the process of co-creation, guided by Mulliner’s in-house design team. I see James Bond in one of these, soon.
