Welcome Back to RBR guys, and to an extremely Vivid preview of what every Bentley in the new generation is going to look like.

This is the 1.65 Million #Mulliner Batur coupe, the most powerful Bentley ever, at 18 units all sold out. Totally irrelevant for most of us right? But wait, don’t write off the Batur as irrelevant to us regular car folk just yet. The Batur previews the future Design direction that #Bentley will take in its soon-to-come line up of future cars, most crucially their BEV line up.

Revealed today at #carweek Monterey 2022 and Designed and built by Mulliner - oldest coach builder in the world at 250 years. They built cars like WO’s 8 Litre and the legendary R Type continental - and more recently the equally expensive and rare Bacalar - the Batter follows that same line of cars.

The Batur is the first design by new head of Design Andreas Mindt, and likely previews what a future Continental GT could look like in hybrid and EV form.

The basis of the design is the “Resting Beast Stance” like a predator about to attack. The grille is immediately identfiable as Bentley, but much larger and more upright. Within it are triangular like chevrons, called. Batur chevrons, which we will also see inside the car.

The car features an “Endless bonnet” seam through the side into the window line/greenhouse connecting the glass to the bonnet in a very unique way. The lights are typical Bentley, large and shaped not unlike Bacalar - yet slimmer and more modern. The body in general is muscular, and all of these front and side elements are modern but familiar — the rear however is a big departure from the norm. Slim rear lights, active rear spoiler, and a 3d printed set of Akrapovic tips make up a very different rear look for a Bentley.

This is one of the last cars to feature the famed W12, with it being in it’s more powerful form ever here with 740PS and 1000nm! A huge bump Vs the GT Speed’s 650 and 900. The is thanks to new software, a new intake system, upgraded turbochargers, and new intercoolers.

The rear is fairly similar if you know the GT Speed’s underpinnings - the usual 8 speed transmission, eLSD, four wheel steering, 48v electric anti roll stabilisation and adaptive air suspension.

The first BEV to use this design is due in 2025 - I theorise similar tech to the Taycan and ETron — given the platform sharing between Continental and Panamera already existing within the VAG group.

Inside the car is less revolutionary - a largely Continental interior awaits with some parts from the Bacalar. Like that car, this is a 2 seater only, here finished in black, orange and red dynamic. The Batur chevrons details are on the seats, 18k gold used in the 12’O’Clock steering band and gear selecter — and the best bit is the Laser etched sound wave in the trim miming the W12 sound profile! This and much more to show you in today’s video!
