Rare, luxurious, expensive: how good is the new Bentley Batur?

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 17:47:41 +0000

The Bentley Batur costs £1.65m before local taxes, will be limited to just 18 examples and, in this prototype form, is the purplest car we've driven in years.

It's a Continental GT Speed-based limited-edition completed by Bentley's Mulliner coachuilding division. If you want the bare stats, it uses a 6.0-litre W12 engine making 740bhp (750PS) and 738lb ft (a nice round 1000Nm). It can go from 0-60mph in 3.2sec and has a 209mph top speed. But what's more interesting is that it's so bespoke to you that you can order 3D printed gold switches, if you choose.
