Bentley Mulliner Batur Introduced: Here’s Its Design

The design language of some automobile companies has become iconic. Today, when we see a Rolls Royce, a Ferrari or a Tofaş, we can understand which brand the vehicle is, even if it does not have a logo on it. One of these brands Bentleybut even with the logo on the firm’s new car, it’s hard to believe it’s Bentley.

Continental GT The new vehicle built on It has a $2 million price tag and only 18 pieces will be produced. Although the 729 horsepower W-12 engine of the vehicle, called Mulliner Batur, is enormous, the main attraction was the design that winked at electric cars. Let’s explain how it winks at an electric car with a W-12 engine.

Bentley renews its classic design for electric cars with ‘Batur’

Featured at Monterey Auto Week Bentley Mulliner Batur Although it continues to be powered by fossil fuels, the British company’s goal is to switch to electric vehicles. There is even a goal they have chosen for themselves to achieve this goal: 2025.

Built on the Continental GT in terms of both undercarriage and mechanical features, Mulliner Batur stands out as the first example of the design language to be used for electric vehicles. Of course, even if you have $2 million to buy a car around the corner, you may not be able to buy a Bentley Mulliner Batur, because all cars are already booked case.

Mulliner Batur takes its name from the volcanic lake

Like Chimneys, Bentley’s previous luxury vehicle built on the Continental Mulliner Batur It was named after a natural water formation. Bacalar is located in Mexico, while Lake Batur is a benchmark lake located on the island of Bali in Indonesia. (So, there is no one in Bentley who puts Turkish names on vehicles without being noticed.)

Design director who recently joined the British firm Andreas Mindt and the company for the design of the vehicle developed by his team, “Imagine a lion or tiger lying in the attack position in the tall grass” used the phrases.

“Ready to attack at any moment”

When we look at it in terms of design, we see that Mulliner Batur has a very large front grille, if you have a 792 hp W-12 engine, you do not have much chance to choose a small grille anyway. On the other hand, the firm now iconic big round headlights replaced by drop-shaped headlights. This is a very radical change for Bentley.

However, the length of the hood and front of the vehicle has not been shortened. The driver’s cabin is relatively close to the rear of the vehicle, as in previous Bentley models. Batur compared to Continental when viewed from side profile more rounded lines but still shows its strength. The only thing coming from Continental in the new design are the side mirrors. Since these parts contain so many sensors, it is very costly to design a new one from scratch.

The interior design will be whatever color you want.

There is no big change in terms of interior design, and there is no need to renew vital features such as airbags for a vehicle that will be produced in very few numbers and to obtain permissions again. Instead, Bentley Mulliner Batur is different from Continental. unlimited color options and natural materials are available. Also on the front panel W-12 engine sound processed as a sound wave.

Mulliner Batur, which is future-oriented in terms of design, is said to have lived its last years even by Bentley. With a 6 liter W-12 engine It also carries a lot from the company’s past. Engine with new fuel delivery system, improved turbochargers and refined recalibration 729 hp While generating power, it also includes air springs, adjustable suspension and a 48-volt electromechanical anti-roll system. Delivery of the vehicle is expected to begin in the middle of next year.
