# Mulliner Batur

Eighteen final W12 coupés

Eighteen coupés marked the W12's end and introduced the form language used by Bentley's next-generation cars. Each could be specified down to almost every surface, so the build record matters as much as mileage.

2023 onward · 18 built · Crewe

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $1.8M–$2.7M. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: estimate. No completed public auction sale for a Batur coupé was found. This indicative band rests on Bentley's £1.65 million pre-tax, pre-options launch price, the sold-out eighteen-car allocation and the wide cost of individual commissions; it is not derived from a transaction series.

Figures in USD. Exchange rates, taxes and bespoke option spend make the original sterling base price an imprecise resale guide.

## A coachbuilt farewell to twelve cylinders

Bentley unveiled the Batur at Monterey Car Week on 21 August 2022. All eighteen series cars were already reserved at £1.65 million before taxes and options, and first deliveries were planned for mid-2023.

Two development cars then completed 58 weeks of durability work and more than 30'000 kilometres of road testing. Customer construction began in 2023, with each coupé taking about four months in Mulliner's Crewe workshop.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| The W12's final tune | New turbochargers, larger intake ducts, revised intercoolers and recalibration produced 750 PS and 1'000 Nm. Bentley ended W12 engine manufacture at Crewe in July 2024. |
| A design prototype with plates | The Batur replaced the Continental's paired round lamps with a single swept unit and introduced a long-bonnet line Bentley called the endless bonnet. The company used the coupé to set the direction for the cars that followed. |
| Four months, one specification | Each customer worked with Mulliner on the colour and finish of nearly every surface. Titanium, natural-fibre composite and 3D-printed 18-karat gold sat on the same options table as leather, veneer and paint. |
