Bentley Motors has unveiled the Batur Convertible, the third coachbuilt Bentley of the modern era, created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division and the world’s oldest coachbuilder.
Following the handcrafted Bacalar barchetta and Batur coupe, the Batur Convertible is limited to just 18 vehicles. Each car offers innovative colors and materials never before seen on a production Bentley.
The Batur Convertible continues the groundbreaking design DNA introduced by the sold-out Batur coupe, setting the direction for future Bentley designs.
This model features the most powerful version of Bentley’s iconic W12 engine—a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine delivering 750 PS, hand-assembled and refined over two decades. The Batur Convertible will be one of the last Bentleys to utilize this powertrain.

Bespoke Two-Seat Grand Tourer
Bentley has a storied history of open-cockpit cars, dating back to its founding years in the 1920s and including recent models like the Bacalar. The architecture of the Batur Convertible allowed Mulliner’s designers to merge the designs of the Bacalar and Batur while enhancing it as a convertible.
The design highlights the two-seater character with a “wraparound” cockpit. The dramatic “airbridge” behind the seats and tapered cowls at the rear evoke the barchetta sports cars of old, promising a dynamic, driver-focused adventure in a cocooned environment.
These elements also provide a semi-enclosed luggage compartment behind the front seats. The convertible roof, a modern alternative to a hardtop, is made from a combination of insulation material, sealing system refinements, and acoustic treatments, and can be deployed or stowed in just 19 seconds, even while the car is moving up to 30 mph.
Unique Commissions
Buyers can personalize nearly every surface of the Batur Convertible. The paint choice is virtually limitless, starting with the full Mulliner color palette and extending into fully bespoke paint and hand-painted graphics.
Exterior brightware can be customized in any mix of light and dark, satin or gloss, or even titanium. An ombre effect is available as a subtle option for the front grille. Inside the cabin, exclusive 3D-printed rose gold can be applied to key driver touchpoints, such as the Bentley Drive Mode Selector, encircling the start/stop button and used to change chassis modes.
Rose gold can also be applied to the iconic Organ Stop vent controls in the dashboard, as well as a rose gold insert marker on the steering wheel. These parts are crafted by expert goldsmiths from Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
Exceptional Engine Performance
This grand tourer’s 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine delivers 750 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, thanks to a revised intake system, upgraded turbochargers, new intercoolers, and recalibration.
Over 20 years of development have led to nearly 40% more power and a 25% improvement in fuel economy. The W12 is paired with Bentley’s eight-speed double-clutch transmission and a sports exhaust system made entirely of titanium, with 3D-printed titanium finishers, providing a soundtrack that matches the car’s performance.
The Batur Convertible shown is Bentley’s engineering development car—Batur Convertible Car #0—featuring a bespoke exterior color: vibrant Vermillion Gloss over Vermillion Satin Duo. High gloss carbon fiber accents the front splitters, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Each of the 18 Batur Convertibles will be handcrafted over several months in Mulliner’s workshop at Bentley’s carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, England.
