The Bentley Mulliner Batur Is A $2 Million Goodbye To Gas And A Glimpse Of The Future

While the Batur won’t be electrified, neither will it be slow. The 6.0-liter W12 engine will put its twelve cylinders to work delivering more than 730 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with an eight-speed double-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive, and an electronic Limited Slip Differential. Bentley’s 48V electric active anti-roll system is included, too, as are adaptive three-chamber air springs that can adjust the ride quality according to whether the Batur is set to the Sport, Bentley, Comfort, or Custom drive modes.

Carbon-Silicon-Carbide brakes get vast discs — 440 mm at the front, and 410 mm at the rear — and 10-piston front, 4-piston rear calipers. The sport exhaust system is made entirely from titanium, with 3D printed matching finishers. In all, it’ll be the most powerful car the automaker has ever made.

At least, for now, anyway. Deliveries of the Bentley Mulliner Batur will begin in mid-2023, but all eyes are undoubtedly also glancing towards the upcoming Bentley EV. That’s expected to be capable of doing 0-60 mph in just 1.5 seconds, courtesy of around 1,400 horsepower from its new drivetrain. Eventually, Bentley leadership promise, the all-electric car will have the potential to make you sick with its brutal acceleration; until then, we’ll have to make do with being sickeningly jealous of those lucky enough to get the keys to a Mulliner Batur.
