2026 Bentley Batur Black Rose

Bentley Batur Black Rose is a special version of one of the most luxurious models of the Crewel-based company, and the last one powered by a W12 engine.

The Batur Black Rose attracts attention with its Black Rose metallic paint, rose gold window trim and a multitude of Satin Rose Gold details on the bonnet, radiator grille, intakes, side mirrors and in the lower part of the body. It is mounted on a set of 22-inch wheels behind which are carbon-ceramic brakes with black brake calipers.

The interior was designed in collaboration with the company Cooksongold, and is decorated with details made from 210 grams of 18-carat rose gold using a 3D printer. Gold also adorns the gear lever, air vent pin, steering wheel, driving mode selector and moldings. The seats are upholstered in Beluga leather and gray tweed fabric, while Black Rose veneers complete the luxurious cabin.

Bentley did not say whether there have been any changes to the powertrain. As a reminder, the Batur is powered by a 6.0-L twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 750 hp (559 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque.

This is the last Bentley W12 engine ever built

In February 2023, Bentley officially announced that it is abandoning the W12 engine, which powers more than 105,000 Bentleys. The last example of this powerful hand-assembled engine was displayed at Bentley headquarters a few days ago.

It all started 21 years ago when the Continental GT Coupé was revealed, and with it a 6.0L turbo W12 engine. “When we first launched the W12 back in 2003, we knew we had a powerful engine that would propel both our cars and brand forwards at speed. Twenty years and more than 100,000 W12s later, the time has come to retire this now-iconic powertrain as we take strides towards electrification – but not without giving it the best send-off possible with the most powerful version of the engine ever created,” said Bentley chairman Adrian Hallmark.

All this time, the W12 engine was significantly more compact and lighter than the classic V12 engine. Now its place will be taken by a 4.0L V8 biturbo engine assisted by a hybrid system with 790 hp (589 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque.

The last Bentley that had the honor of being powered by this engine was the Bentley Batur, thus ending the period in the production of powerful engines. Only 16 examples of this model were produced, and all of them were sold in a short time at a price of 2 million dollars.
