Bentley Batur Convertible Limited Edition

The Bentley Batur Convertible is one of the last models from the British manufacturer to be powered by a W12 engine. It will be produced in limited numbers and only 16 lucky ones will have the opportunity to own this car.

The Batur Convertible is powered by the most powerful edition of the 6.0-L twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 750 hp (559 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Bentley has not released the performance of the “open-air” two-seater, but by comparison it is more powerful than the Continental Speed version whose W12 engine delivers 659 hp (491 kW) which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph). Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The car is equipped with a refined Akrapovič titanium exhaust system. It retained the design of its hard-top sibling, the Bentley Batur, with certain adaptations, especially at the rear. Inside, the sleek and ergonomic cockpit is luxurious while the folding soft top can be lowered/raised in 19 seconds.

Bentley hasn’t announced how much each will cost, but it’s expected to be around $2 million.

2022 Bentley Bacalar Roadster is up for auction

In February 2021, Bentley announced that it had produced its most powerful W12 engine ever, and the Bentley Bacalar was the first car to use this engine. It is a limited edition two-seater that was produced in only 12 copies. One of them, the 2022 Bentley Bacalar Roadster is up for auction.

Bentley Bacalar was designed by Bentley Mulliner and was inspired by the Bentley EXP 100 GT concept car. It shares some similarities with the Continental GT model, such as a door handle with a keyless entry system, a 20 mm wider rear track. This example is finished in Mulliner Extended Range Veridian and is equipped with a Carbon Fiber Pack that includes bonnet vents, side moldings, mirror caps, and power humps.

The interior is upholstered in Beluga leather and Gray tweed with Beluga and Bronze core piping. The seams on the seats are bronze, while the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather with black stitching. There’s also plenty of carbon detailing and an embroidered Bentley logo on the seat headrests.

The Bentley Bacalar is powered by a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine with 650 hp (485 kW) and 667 lb-ft (904 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It is rarely driven and has only 119 miles on the odometer.

The car will be auctioned on May 17th in Indianapolis, United States.

2025 Bentley Bentayga S Black Edition

Bentley has unveiled its most striking SUV ever, the Bentayga S Black Edition. It is a special version with more style and elegance, and off-road capabilities compared to the standard model.

The Bentayga S Black Edition is powered by a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 550 hp (410 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds wit a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). An electronic all-wheel steering system as well as a sports suspension designed for better grip are standard.

Drivers will be able to enjoy driving even more thanks to the new Sport driving mode, which improves steering feel, reduces body tilting and ensures a better reaction to turning the steering wheel. For the off-road environment, drivers will be able to choose Snow, Wet Grass, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail and Sand modes. The torque vectoring system has also been recalibrated, and the sports exhaust system is part of the standard equipment. There is also the Bentley Dynamic Ride system with electric active chassis control.

As an option, Bentley offers the Bentayga S Black Edition with a 3.0-L TFSI V6 gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 599 hp (447 kW). That is enough to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 254 km/h (158 mph).

Visually, this car does not differ much from the standard models, and is equipped with the Bentley Styling Specification body kit. The front fascia, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear wing are detailed in Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green, and Belgua.

Inside, the seats are covered in black Beluga leather with contrasting orange stitching. The same combination covers the door panels, dashboard and central console with carbon details. The Dark Chrome package is standard and includes metal accents, while buyers will be able to choose from three available sound systems, including Naim.
