MULLINER BATUR STARTS
DESIGN REVOLUTION FOR BENTLEY
Bentley Motors has unveiled the Bentley Mulliner Batur – a new twodoor grand touring coupé limited to 18 series pieces that embodies the start of a design revolution at Bentley .
Created by Director of Design Andreas Mindt and his team , the Batur is a showcase of a new design DNA that will ultimately guide the design of Bentley ’ s future range of Battery Electric Vehicles ( BEVs ).
The collection of just 18 series examples of the Batur is the latest project by Bentley ’ s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division , Mulliner , and succeeds the Bacalar – a run of 12 individually specified , designed and handcrafted Barchettas that relaunched coachbuilding at Bentley .
Like its predecessor – the Bacalar – the Batur is named after a beautiful natural body of water . Lake Batur is an 88m deep , 16 km2 crater lake in Kintamani on the island of Bali , Indonesia , and provides nutrient-rich water to both local hot springs and agriculture .
