- Batur Convertible #4 introduces tri-tone paint and a colour-matched roof.
- The cabin debuts Bentley’s first use of 3D-printed platinum for interior controls.
- Power comes from Bentley’s 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 producing about 552 kW.
Bentley’s Mulliner division has finished what it calls the most highly curated Batur Convertible yet: car #4 in the ultra-limited coachbuilt run, and it’s a reminder that “custom” can mean far more than a paint sample and some contrast stitching.
Commissioned through a co-creation process with client Sonia Breslow, Batur Convertible #4 debuts four firsts for the programme, including the owner’s own colours applied in a tri-tone exterior scheme and a roof canvas colour-matched to the car.
It also introduces a client-designed animated welcome lamp and Bentley’s first use of 3D-printed platinum inside the cabin.
Breslow, already a repeat Mulliner customer with a Bacalar and Continuation Series models in her garage, says the appeal is in the details - and permanence. “As long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about cars. When I have a car like this Batur, I don't plan on selling it in my lifetime - it’s my forever car. I’m totally into the detail and I love designing them - picking out the colours, working through every shade, every feature, making them different from everything else.”
Paint, pinstripes and a roof to match
The tri-tone exterior uses Breslow’s commissioned shades, including a 6mm gloss-silver fine line that highlights the Batur’s “endless bonnet” styling.
The upper colour, named ‘Breslow Blue’, has been matched to the convertible roof canvas, which Bentley says is a first, and when the roof is stowed it reveals an Airbridge finished in the same hue. Details continue with a ‘Midnight Breslow Blue’ bonnet pinstripe, accented wheels and mirrors, plus polished titanium exhaust finishers and bright silver grilles.
A welcome light that signs its name
Inside, the brief shifts to warm autumnal tones (tans and caramel shades), punctuated with light blue accents that pull the exterior colour theme into the cabin.
Contrast stitching runs across the tonneau, seats, headrests and instrument panel, while even the outline of the “Batur volcano” motif appears subtly in the deep-pile floor mats.
The centrepiece personal touch is the animated welcome lamp, which projects Breslow’s handwritten name using 415,800 microscopic mirrors to shape the light. It’s theatrical, yes, but also very on-brand for a car built around individual identity.
Platinum details, W12 muscle
The cabin’s metalwork includes an engine spin finish inspired by early Bentleys, plus bespoke faces for the Bentley Rotating Display gauges. And then there’s the headline material flex: Bentley says Batur Convertible #4 is its first application of three-dimensional printed platinum, used for the steering wheel’s top-dead-centre marker and the organ stops.
Despite all that tailoring, the mechanical heart stays suitably outrageous: Bentley confirms the Batur Convertible retains the most powerful version of its W12, a hand-assembled 6.0-litre twin-turbo engine rated at about 552kW.
