by The First Bentley Batur Convertible is Ready for the Road
Bentley has completed production of the first Batur Convertible example — only 16 such cars will be produced. This convertible received a unique color combination: silvery Opalite with a black racing stripe and orange accents. The wheel rims are also executed in an individual design.
The car’s interior is inspired by classic racing models. The driver’s seat is upholstered in black Beluga leather, while the passenger side is in white Linen. Additional details, such as titanium gearshift paddles and steering wheel elements, emphasize the premium nature of the interior.
“This is the final chord for our W12. The engine has received serious refinements, but already in 2026 we are switching to electric vehicles”
Technical Features
One of the Batur Convertible prototypes can be seen at the auto show this month. The exhibition sample, known as Car Zero, has already debuted at the Goodwood Festival. All 16 cars are equipped with a refined version of the W12, which received new turbochargers, intercoolers, and a titanium exhaust system.
This project has become a kind of farewell for Bentley to 12-cylinder engines. The company is preparing for a full transition to electric power, and the Batur Convertible will remain in history as one of the last cars with the legendary W12 under the hood.
