Wrapping up over two decades of glorious W12 engines for the brand, the Bentley Batur Convertible is the proper end to an era of a unique flagship powertrain. Its twin-turbo W12 is the most powerful iteration of the engine yet, and its limited run of just 16 units globally means that the ultra-luxe masterpiece is reserved for an incredibly exclusive echelon of Bentley collectors.
One of those collectors is Sonia Breslow, a discerning Bentley collector whose other cars include a Blower Continuation Series, a Speed Six Continuation Series, and another of Bentley’s limited-production W12 coachbuilds, the Bacalar. For each of her vehicles, Breslow pays attention to the smallest details to make a truly unique and luxurious configuration, and her Batur Convertible, the fourth example out of the 16, represents the ultimate level of craftsmanship that Bentley’s bespoke division, Mulliner, can offer.
The car features a tri-tone design, created using colors the customer hand-picked, with a gloss silver line of just 6 millimeters in width emphasizing the “endless bonnet” design feature of the Batur Convertible, a custom ‘Breslow Blue’ for the upper portion of the vehicle, and another custom color, ‘Midnight Breslow Blue,’ on the lower half, on wing mirror accents, wheel accents, and on a bonnet pinstripe. The exterior configuration is finished with a polished titanium exhaust and bright silver grilles.
Breslow’s Batur Convertible also features a custom welcome lamp, with the highly advanced welcome lighting technology in the Batur Convertible being used to display a handwritten script of her name on the ground. The interior contrasts with the blue exterior, using tan and caramel leathers to bring warmth to the configuration, with contrast stitching adding a touch of bespoke luxury throughout, and the outline of the Batur Volcano that served as the car’s namesake adorning the floor mats.
A reference to early Bentleys is the engine-turned aluminum finish that completes the interior fascia, with a Bentley Rotating Display that features bespoke colored faces on its gauges. 3D-printed platinum is used in the interior, specifically in the center marker on the steering wheel, as well as in the “organ stop” vent controls. Showcasing harmony with the number four, the tri-tone color scheme, the color-matched bespoke roof color, the client-designed welcome lamp, and the 3D-printed platinum all represent four new possibilities for Mulliner. Being car number four in the sixteen-car production run, this Batur Convertible is one of the most luxurious coachbuilds to ever wear Bentley’s pair of wings.
