Bentley once again performed one of its usual miracles, designing one of the most beautiful cars on the market. The Batur Cabrio manages to be sporty without giving up its refinement or its luxury imageensuring the builder that, despite the dimensions and all the equipment it incorporates, it has a Acceleration capacity that places it at the level of the good supercars on the market.
The Batur Convertible is obviously designed on the Batur coupe, with a closed body, both built not by Bentley, but by Mulliner, a luxury vehicle manufacturer that began in 1897, practically in the era of carriages and animal traction. Today Mulliner is a very special division of Bentley, specialized in the artisanal production and small quantities of vehicles, aimed at customers who do not mind paying more to have a car completely to their liking, down to the smallest detail. from the outside to the inside and from the materials to the colors.

The Batur convertible is the third model built by Mulliner, after the Bacalar and the Batur coupe. But, much to the regret of potential interested parties, Only 16 units will be manufactured, after Mulliner produced only 18 units of the closed-body coupé. And this convertible version ends up being the last opportunity for fans of the brand to have access to a Bentley equipped with the engine that made the manufacturer famous in recent decades, the six-cylinder W12, which will be discontinued later.
In addition to the luxury and the necessarily high price, the Batur Cabrio does not renounce itself as a supercar with race. That is why the W12, powered by two turbochargers, is a special version, capable of offering 750 HP, without the manufacturer having yet announced the acceleration capacity or the maximum speed it guarantees. However, if the Continental GT coupe, which uses the same chassis and is equipped with the same engine (but with only 659 hp), reaches 335 km/h and 0-100 in 3.6 seconds, we can expect even more impressive figures, thanks to almost 90 additional HP.
