Bentley has unwrapped the Mulliner-built Batur 😍 The ultra-low-volume special is driven by a 730bhp W12 engine, with a design previews the firm's new-era EVs
The new Batur is the first publicly revealed work of Bentley’s refreshed design team, led by design director Andreas Mindt, who joined the company at the start of last year. Mindt says the Batur’s new-form language will be a key part of the company’s “transformational journey" towards the launch of itsAfter celebrating its centenary in 2019, Bentley revealed a ‘Beyond100’ programme that entails a self-funded spend of £2.
This ground-level research identified three Bentley buzz words – potent, inspirational and harmonious – and the Batur’s simple, unadorned and highly sculptural shape is the result. Mindt summarises his aim as being “to deliver presence through sculpture”. The first is what Mindt calls “resting beast stance”. The Batur has no wedge to its shape but instead looks like it’s sitting on its rear wheels and haunches, ready to go.
The third element is “endless bonnet”. Mindt said: “A long bonnet has always been a mark of power and prestige in luxury cars. It’s the only accent element in the Batur’s fundamentally clean shape, and it also helps move the car’s visual mass to the rear, increasing the impression that it sits on its rear axle and adding strength to its haunches.
