One plus One: The First Batur Convertible by Mulliner
Bentley’s Mulliner division has once again pushed the limits of bespoke craftsmanship with the creation of the very first Batur Convertible—a one-off masterpiece that blends jaw-dropping performance with tailored artistry. Finished in an elegant Opalite exterior with Beluga and Mandarin highlights, this unique grand tourer redefines what a luxury open-air driving experience can be.
A Striking Exterior with Racing Heritage
The first Batur Convertible wears a shimmering Opalite silver paint that’s intersected by a bold black gloss racing stripe, flanked by fine Mandarin pinstripes. This stripe flows seamlessly from the radiator, over the bonnet and cockpit ‘airbridge’, before resuming across the rear deck, finishing elegantly at the Bentley wings badge. Matching embroidery over the rear Tonneau completes the look.
The distinctive matrix grille is finished in gloss Beluga with Mandarin accents, and the five-spoke alloy wheels carry the same base and highlight tones. The result is a design that feels both dynamic and deeply refined, reflecting the Batur’s 740 bhp W12 heart.
The ‘One plus One’ Interior Concept
Inside, the Batur Convertible reveals an innovative “One plus One” design philosophy, visually separating the driver and passenger spaces through contrasting yet complementary colour palettes.
- Driver’s side: Beluga black hide and Alcantara, with Linen and Mandarin stitching. A bold Mandarin band wraps around the cockpit from the centre console to the door waistrail.
- Passenger’s side: Linen hide and Alcantara with Mandarin detailing, creating a lighter, more relaxing ambience.
Even the luggage compartment mirrors this concept, with bespoke luggage sets in the two respective colourways—Beluga for the driver, Linen for the passenger.
Bespoke Craftsmanship in Every Detail
Every surface tells a story of meticulous attention to detail. The fascia and door waistrails feature a satin black engine spin finish, paired with gloss Beluga veneer on the centre console. Titanium accents add a modern, performance-oriented feel, appearing on gearshift paddles, air vent rings, and rotary controls.
Illuminated sill treadplates proudly display the Batur name and the car’s unique serial number, while even the key cases are custom-crafted to match the contrasting interior themes.
A Collector’s Grand Tourer
Powered by Bentley’s most potent 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 740 bhp, the Batur Convertible is as exhilarating to drive as it is beautiful to behold. With production strictly limited, each example is designed in full collaboration with its owner using Mulliner’s custom visualisation tools—ensuring that no two cars will ever be the same.
The Batur Convertible recently wowed crowds at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and will now appear at the prestigious Monterey Car Week in the US, standing as a testament to Bentley’s enduring legacy of bespoke coachbuilding.
