With only 16 available worldwide, the Bentley Batur Convertible represents the height of luxury for the British marque.

There are Bentleys and then there are Bentleys coachbuilt by Mulliner, Bentley's in-house bespoke division, which prides itself on being the longest-standing coachbuilder in the world. A Bentley is regarded as one of the most elegant, luxurious, yet powerful cars on the road, but when coachbuilt by Mulliner, it transforms into one of the most exclusive cars in the world. This latest release, the Batur convertible, adds to that legacy as the latest Bentley Mulliner of the modern era.

Previous coachbuilds – the Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe – set the bar immensely high; both sold out and redefined what individual tailored design and coachbuilt vehicles could be. The Batur convertible continues the lineage of its predecessor, the coupe, following a design DNA that looks set to steer the visual direction of Bentley's future cars.

Handcrafted over the course of several months, each of the 16 Bentley Batur convertibles will be a unique vehicle in its own right. Coachbuilt cars allow for a far greater level of customization, and with such freedom and exclusivity, there is usually a high price to match.

Unsurprisingly, the Batur Convertible also carries forward the iconic W12 engine in its most powerful form. Producing 750 hp, this hand-assembled 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine has played a major role in Bentley's 21st-century successes and is bowing out this summer. As one of the final Bentleys to utilize the W12, the Batur convertible can be seen as somewhat of a swansong for the meteoric powertrain.
