Bacalar and Batur successor lands next month as a 16-off swansong for Crewe's 12-cylinder engine
Bentley has announced that it will unveil the most powerful car in its 105-year history on Tuesday 7 May. It will be the third model to come from the brand’s reinvigorated Mulliner coachbuilding division, after the Bacaclar and Batur. Only 16 examples will be built. Bentley said the new car will receive its “most potent” W12 engine to date, pushing it past the 740bhp and 738lb ft outputs from its outing in the Batur.
It will start by using plug-in-hybrid powertrains with V8s, before launching its first battery-electric car in 2026. Bentley has yet to confirm much other detail about the new Mulliner model, but a teaser image released by the firm suggests it will further progress the new design language introduced with the Batur. It features a similar rear lighting set-up, but gains a sloping duck-tail spoiler, suggesting the car may have a more sporting character than its predecessor.
