2023 MULLINER BATUR - BENTLEY'S AGGRESSIVE NEW FACE FOR FUTURE CARS & EVS!

EV Channels Review

The Mulliner Batur represents Bentley's aggressive new design direction, previewing the aesthetic for future models, including their upcoming EV lineup. While a limited-edition, sold-out model costing $1.65 million, its significance lies in its design language, which the reviewer finds muscular and futuristic, a departure from current models, especially at the rear. The "Resting Beast Stance" is highlighted as a key design element. Performance-wise, it features the most powerful iteration of Bentley's W12 engine, producing 740 PS and 1000 Nm, built upon the Continental GT Speed's chassis with advanced features like four-wheel steering and active anti-roll control. The interior, while largely familiar to the Continental, incorporates unique details like 18k gold accents and a laser-etched sound wave of the W12. The reviewer expresses excitement for how this design will translate to future EVs, hoping they avoid the "spaceship" look of many current electric cars.
