Bentley Unveils the £1.65 Million Mulliner Batur
Bentley has revealed the Mulliner Batur, a stunning limited-edition grand tourer that signals a bold new design direction for the brand as it prepares for an all-electric future.
Limited to just 18 examples worldwide, every Batur was reserved before production even began. Based on the Continental GT, the Batur introduces Bentley’s next-generation styling while becoming the most powerful Bentley ever built.

The Most Powerful Bentley Ever Produced
Power comes from an upgraded version of Bentley’s iconic 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing:
- 730bhp
- 1,000Nm of torque
The Batur combines exceptional performance with handcrafted luxury, showcasing the capabilities of Bentley’s renowned Mulliner bespoke division.
The first vehicle produced, known internally as Car Zero, will serve as an engineering prototype and undergo extensive testing before customer deliveries begin.
Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive, Adrian Hallmark, described the Batur as an important milestone for the company, demonstrating the design philosophy that will influence Bentley’s future electric vehicle range.
A New Design Language
The Mulliner Batur introduces several styling themes that Bentley says will define its future models.
According to Bentley’s design team, three key principles shaped the exterior:
- A powerful stance that conveys performance even when stationary.
- A long, flowing bonnet that creates elegant proportions.
- A lower, more upright appearance for a stronger road presence.
The front end features an entirely new grille design, while slimmer lighting elements replace Bentley’s traditional round headlamps. Smooth bodywork, sculpted lines and extensive use of carbon fibre contribute to a more modern appearance.

The Batur is equipped with Bentley’s most advanced chassis package to date, including:
- Adaptive air suspension.
- Electronic anti-roll control.
- Four-wheel steering.
These systems are designed to deliver exceptional comfort while maintaining the engaging driving dynamics expected from Bentley’s flagship grand tourers.

Bespoke Luxury Inside and Out
As expected from Mulliner, virtually every aspect of the Batur can be personalised.
Owners can choose from:
- An extensive range of exterior paint finishes.
- Bespoke 22-inch alloy wheel colours and finishes.
- Carbon fibre trim options, including sustainable natural fibre alternatives.
- Premium leather or Dinamica interior upholstery.
- Titanium exhaust system with 3D-printed titanium exhaust finishers.
Bentley says customers can specify almost every visible surface, creating a truly unique vehicle tailored to their individual tastes.
Looking Ahead to Bentley’s Electric Future
Although the Mulliner Batur is powered by Bentley’s celebrated W12 engine, it represents much more than a farewell to combustion power.
The Batur provides the clearest indication yet of the styling and craftsmanship Bentley intends to carry into its fully electric future.
With production already sold out, the Batur stands as one of the most exclusive and significant Bentley models ever created.
