The 729-hp W-12–powered BentleyMotors Batur is the last stop before EVs:
Like the Bacalar, the Batur is named after a body of natural water, in this case Lake Batur, a 290-foot-deep crater lake in Kintamani on the Indonesian island of Bali. Award yourself a geography point if you already knew that. The muscular aesthetic is the work of a small team led by Andreas Mindt, Bentley's recently arrived director of design, with a reimagined style language that seeks to combine elegance and the projection of power.
The cabin keeps the basic dashboard architecture of the Conti, since Bentley was unable to radically alter safety-critical systems like airbag placement for such a limited run. But, of course, it is finished with even plusher and rarer materials, with buyers able to specify a practically limitless range of colors and with trim options including a natural composite that is described as a more sustainable alternative to carbon fiber.
Several Batur buyers have apparently traveled to Monterey to watch the unveiling and to complete the specification of their cars, with deliveries due to start in the middle of next year. If you’re kicking yourself for having missed out, you may want to head over to your local Bentley dealer and beg to get on the list for the next limited run.
