The Batur Convertible’s exterior design accentuates the performance of its 740bhp, 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine. The shimmering silver tone of the Opalite bodywork is bisected by a gloss black racing stripe, flanked by Mandarin pinstripes, which flows from the front grille over the bonnet, through the cockpit ‘airbridge’, and along the rear deck to meet the Bentley wings badge.

This stripe is seamlessly painted into the bodywork, with the design echoed in bespoke embroidery on the rear Tonneau. The distinctive matrix grille is finished in gloss Beluga with Mandarin highlights, complemented by five-spoke alloy wheels in matching tones.

Inside, the “one plus one” configuration draws inspiration from classic sports racing cars, giving each occupant a distinct space. The driver’s cockpit is finished in Beluga black hide and Alcantara, with Linen and Mandarin contrast stitching in Mulliner’s signature Batur pattern on the seat bolsters and door inserts.

A Mandarin leather band encircles the driver, flowing from the centre console across the instrumentation and beneath the door waistrail. In contrast, the passenger’s seat is upholstered in Linen hide and Alcantara with Mandarin detailing, featuring the same Batur pattern against a lighter background.

The rear luggage area mirrors this split theme, with the driver’s side in Beluga and the passenger’s side in Linen, extending even to the seat belts and bespoke key cases.

The interior specification reveals the commissioning owner’s commitment to detail, realised through Mulliner’s precise craftsmanship. The fascia and door waistrails feature a satin black engine spin finish, paired with gloss Beluga veneer on the centre console.

Dial bezels are in Beluga, while the faces are finished in light titanium. The steering wheel, trimmed in Beluga with Linen inner surfaces and Mandarin cross stitching, incorporates a machined titanium feature at Top Dead Centre. Titanium also appears on the gearshift paddles, rotary controls, air vent mechanisms, and trim rings, reinforcing the car’s bespoke, performance-focused character. Illuminated sill treadplates bear the Batur name and series number.

The rear luggage compartment houses a two-piece bespoke luggage set, with each case reflecting the corresponding interior colour scheme of its occupant. Mulliner has also created two matching key cases in Beluga and Linen, completing the personalised touch.

This first Batur Convertible follows Mulliner’s engineering development car, Batur Convertible Car Zero, which made its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed before heading to the United States for Monterey Car Week, where it will be displayed in a Vermilion Gloss over Vermilion Satin finish.

The Batur Convertible is the third member of Mulliner’s exclusive Coachbuilt family, following the Bacalar barchetta and the Batur coupé.

Production will be strictly limited, with each model retaining the most potent iteration of Bentley’s W12 engine and a hand-assembled 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged powertrain. Every commission is developed in collaboration with the client through Mulliner’s advanced customisation process, ensuring that no two cars will ever be alike.

Kami tidak tahu sejauh mana kuasa kereta baharu ini, tetapi ia mungkin tidak sekuat coupe Batur yang mengeluarkan 730hp dan 1,003Nm tork.

Bentley mula menggunakan enjin W12 pada tahun 2003 dengan kereta Continental GT yang pertama dan mereka akan berhenti membuatnya tahun ini. Bentley menyatakan yang mereka telah menghasilkan lebih 105,000 enjin ini. Kami tidak tahu enjin apa yang akan menggantikan W12, tetapi sesetengah orang berpendapat ia mungkin enjin V8 dengan kuasa hibrid.

Bentley juga mahu mula membuat kereta elektrik pada 2026 tetapi mereka menukar rancangan mereka dari awal dan mereka masih membuat kereta tersuai istimewa seperti ini.

Limited to just 16 units, this new coachbuilt Bentley will be among the final units to be powered by Bentley’s iconic W12 engine, featuring its most potent iteration.

While specifics on the power output of this new creation have not been revealed, it’s anticipated that it may not match the 730hp and 1,003Nm of torque seen in the Batur coupe. Instead, output could align more closely with the 650hp of the Speed Edition 12 model.

Bentley first introduced the W-12 engine in 2003 with the debut of the first-generation Continental GT. With production coming to a close this year, Bentley estimates that over 105,000 examples of this engine will have been produced. While Bentley has yet to announce the powertrain that will succeed the W-12, speculation suggests a plug-in hybrid configuration featuring a turbocharged V-8.

Looking towards the future, Bentley envisions a transition from plug-in hybrids to electric vehicles (EVs), albeit with a revised timeline after postponing its previous goal of completing this shift by the decade’s end. The automaker now aims to debut its inaugural EV in 2026. Given the resounding success of past offerings like the Bacalar and Batur, which sold out swiftly, there’s ample potential for coachbuilt Bentleys to thrive in the forthcoming EV era.

Projek ini adalah kerjasama khas antara pakar British dalam kejuruteraan dan pemulihan, bersama-sama dengan juruteknik mahir Mulliner. Mereka merancang untuk membuat dua belas kereta Speed ​​Six baharu, semuanya dibina dengan bahan dan teknik yang sama yang digunakan dalam reka bentuk asal oleh W.O. Bentley.

Selepas kejayaan menghasilkan dua belas kereta Bentley 4½ Liter Supercharged ‘Blower’, Bentley memutuskan untuk mengekalkan tradisi dengan Siri Sambungan Speed ​​Six. Kesemua dua belas kereta telah dijual, menunjukkan betapa ramai orang menantikannya. Pelanggan juga boleh memilih kemasan dan bahan khusus untuk kereta mereka, menjadikan setiap satu unik.

Proses membuat kereta Speed ​​Six baharu ini sangat terperinci dan tepat. Mereka menggunakan alat dan kaedah lama seperti W.O. Bentley melakukannya. Syarikat seperti Portobello Engineering dan Lomax Coachbuilders sedang membuat casis dan badan dengan teliti, manakala Mulliner menyatukan segala-galanya dan menutup badan dalam fabrik yang sama yang digunakan dalam reka bentuk asal.

Setiap bahagian Speed ​​Six, daripada lampu depan ke enjin, dibuat dengan teliti. Mereka juga mencipta semula reka bentuk enjin daripada kereta asal Speed ​​Six, terima kasih kepada syarikat seperti Kingsbury Racing Shop Limited dan Tom Dark Engineering.

Kereta Speed ​​Six baharu ini diilhamkan oleh dua kereta asal terkenal: Speed ​​Six milik Bentley, GU409, dan ‘Old Number 3’, sebuah Speed ​​Six yang berlumba dalam perlumbaan 24 Jam Le Mans 1930. Dengan menggunakan data daripada kereta ini, mereka memastikan yang baharu adalah setulen yang mungkin.

Speed ​​Six mempunyai sejarah legenda dalam perlumbaan, terutamanya pada perlumbaan 24 Jam Le Mans. Reputasinya untuk kelajuan, prestasi dan gaya menjadikannya klasik abadi yang disukai oleh peminat kereta di seluruh dunia.

This extraordinary endeavour represents a harmonious collaboration between British engineering and restoration specialists, along with Mulliner’s team of master technicians. Twelve Continuation Series Speed Sixes are set to be meticulously built, adhering to period-correct materials and techniques to ensure absolute fidelity to W.O. Bentley’s original design.

Following the successful completion of twelve Bentley 4½ Litre Supercharged ‘Blower’ Continuation models, the Speed Six Continuation Series represents a continuation of Bentley’s commitment to preserving its rich heritage. All twelve models have already been pre-sold, reflecting the immense anticipation and demand among discerning collectors. Customers have the opportunity to specify their vehicles from a selection of period-correct finishes and materials, ensuring each Speed Six is a bespoke masterpiece.

The meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating the Speed Six Continuation Series is nothing short of extraordinary. Each vehicle is meticulously crafted using tools, materials, and techniques reminiscent of W.O. Bentley’s original vision. From the precision-engineered chassis to the hand-crafted bodywork, every aspect of the Speed Six pays homage to Bentley’s illustrious legacy.

The journey begins with Portobello Engineering in Matlock, meticulously crafting the chassis legs and crossmembers according to the original engineering drawings. Meanwhile, Lomax Coachbuilders in Ludlow meticulously handcrafts the ash frame for the Speed Six body using traditional coachbuilding tools and techniques. Once united with the chassis at Mulliner workshops, the body is clad in period-correct Rexine fabric to create the iconic Weymann-style open tourer bodywork.

The attention to detail extends to every component of the Speed Six, including the vintage-design headlamps crafted by Vintage Headlamp Restoration International Ltd and the classic car radiators expertly manufactured by The Vintage Car Radiator Company. Kingsbury Racing Shop Limited, in collaboration with Tom Dark Engineering, fabricates over 600 individual parts for the new 6½ Litre race specification engine, meticulously recreating the advanced design of the original Speed Six engine.

The Speed Six Continuation Series takes inspiration from two original Speed Sixes: the company’s own Speed Six, GU409, and ‘Old Number 3’, a works Speed Six driven in the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hour race. These iconic models provided invaluable data on dimensions, materials, and components, ensuring the utmost authenticity in the Continuation Series.

The Speed Six’s illustrious racing pedigree, including its historic victories at the Le Mans 24 Hour race, underscores its legendary status in Bentley’s rich heritage. With its unparalleled combination of speed, performance, and elegance, the Speed Six Continuation Series pays homage to a timeless icon that continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
