Bentley Batur Convertible: The Art of Open-Air Individualism

The Batur Convertible is Bentley’s third coachbuilt masterpiece of the modern era, following in the handcrafted tyre tracks of the Bacalar and the Batur coupé. But where its siblings were fierce, sculpted statements of closed-roof drama, the Batur Convertible adds an element of romance. With its retractable roof, it invites the sky inside – delivering a kind of grand touring experience that is rare in today’s automotive landscape.

‍

At its core is the final and most ferocious evolution of Bentley’s legendary 6.0-litre W12 engine – an engineering marvel that’s powered the brand’s rebirth for two decades. In this form, it produces 750 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, thanks to revised intakes, upgraded turbos, and a finely tuned exhaust system – built entirely from titanium and finished with 3D-printed tips. This is power paired with grace, a performance enveloped in poetry. And with the W12’s retirement on the horizon, each Batur Convertible becomes a collector’s dream and a mechanical time capsule.

But this car is as much about you as it is about Bentley. No two examples will be alike. Clients are invited to co-create their Batur Convertibles through the Mulliner visualiser – a bespoke design process that allows for infinite customisation. Paint? Limited only by imagination, with hand-painted graphics and one-off shades encouraged. Trim and materials? Anything from high-gloss carbon fibre to handwoven wool, from rich open-pore woods to rose gold.

Ah yes, the rose gold. For those who want true exclusivity at their fingertips, Mulliner offers 3D-printed rose gold controls – created in collaboration with master goldsmiths in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter. Think: a start/stop dial in rose gold, Bentley’s iconic organ-stop vents glinting with a blush of metal, and a subtle steering wheel marker that quietly says, I’m not like the others.

But beyond the numbers, materials, or artistry, the Batur Convertible represents something deeper: the end of one of Bentley’s most defining chapters, and the start of a more bespoke, more human form of luxury. For those lucky enough to own one, this isn’t just a nice car – it’s a moment in time. A moving sculpture powered by legacy, tailored by hand, and made to be driven under open skies.
