New Bentley Batur convertible

M5Rick · 05-08-2024, 02:06 PM

Only 16 of these beauties will be made at the Mulliner branch and the cost as you can imagine will be eye opening.

So good!

The last topless Bentley, the Bacalar at around £1.5 million had NO roof at all and was known as a genuine barchetta, (little boat) and only 12 of those were built for places where the sun always shines.

The new generation of Bentleys are incredible cars

I've never understood the purpose of videos such as this one. A fancy video about a car that just 16 people will buy.

I'll take two to match the brace of Jaguar XJ220 I own.

Sadly these are only 1 to 12 scale models.

You might like this one.

They are so huuuuuge and so cool. This was at the last club shed tour I did. Don’t even ask about service costs.

It is a glorious beast.......and hugely wide.

My cars are blue and silver.

The cinematography is better than the car.

They're not doing it for you, or me, or even the 16 people, they're doing it for advertising, which is their legacy.

I don't think so. Had the OP never posted the video, I'd never have seen it. I think people who can afford a Bentley are not persuaded by advertising.

Ya, I don't wanna rain on OP's parade either but I personally don't get the idea of Bentley even if I was one of the eligible 16. Talk about the anti-thesis of the Miata/Lotus concept, not for ppl who really love to drive.

I'm sure these 16 off Batur's and the previous limited production ones are not Bentley's intention of saying they are only going to a chosen few.

It's not for the buyers, it's for the dreamers.
