This model features a 626 bhp 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 207 mph. Its performance is enhanced by Electronic All Wheel Steering, Torque Vectoring by Brake technology, and Bentley Dynamic Ride, ensuring agility and superior handling.
Bentley’s CEO and President of Bentley Americas, Mike Rocco, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, “We are honoured that our iconic, powerful engine has been recognized by Robb Report, complementing the two core pillars to our brand in the performance of the Flying Spur Speed and craftsmanship of the Batur.
We look forward to continuing the relationship and sharing the brand with such esteemed colleagues and vibrant categories as we move into hybridization.”
The Bentley Batur, crafted by Bentley’s bespoke and coachbuilding division Mulliner, signifies a new design era for the marque. This limited-edition two-door grand touring coupé, with only 18 units produced, features a 750 PS version of the renowned 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, making it the most powerful Bentley ever built.
The Batur’s interior showcases a new design language that will influence Bentley’s future Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).
Mulliner’s in-house design team collaborates closely with each customer, allowing for extensive customization through a specially-created visualizer. This tool lets customers personalize every aspect of their vehicle, from color to surface finish, utilizing unique materials such as 3D printed solid gold. The result is a truly bespoke car, limited only by the customer’s imagination.
The 2024 Robb Report awards highlight Bentley’s dedication to performance and craftsmanship. The Flying Spur Speed and Batur exemplify the brand’s commitment to luxury, innovation, and driving excellence, reinforcing Bentley’s prestigious position in the automotive world.
