Bentley has completed one of its most personalised cars yet — Batur Convertible #4, created by Mulliner for collector Sonia Breslow.
The new Batur joins an impressive collection that already includes a Bentley Bacalar, Blower Continuation Series and Speed Six Continuation Series. But unlike a car bought with future resale in mind, Breslow says this one isn't going anywhere.
“When I have a car like this Batur, I don't plan on selling it in my lifetime — it's my forever car,” she said.
And she has certainly made it her own.
A Bentley in colours created for its owner
The exterior uses a three-tone combination built around two bespoke shades commissioned by Breslow herself: Breslow Blue and Midnight Breslow Blue.
Even the fabric roof has been colour-matched to Breslow Blue — a first for a bespoke-coloured Batur roof. A thin 6mm silver line runs along the body, while blue accents continue onto the wheels and mirrors.
Inside, the palette becomes warmer, mixing tan and caramel tones with light blue details that connect the cabin to the exterior.
There are plenty of smaller touches too. The outline of Mount Batur — the Indonesian volcano that gave the car its name — appears subtly on the floor mats.
Her signature, projected by 415,800 mirrors
Perhaps the most personal detail appears when the owner opens the door.
The welcome light projects Breslow's handwritten name onto the ground, created using 415,800 microscopic mirrors that shape the beam.
And Mulliner didn't stop there.
Batur Convertible #4 is also the first Bentley to use 3D-printed platinum components. Platinum is used for the steering wheel's top-centre marker and the organ-stop controls in the dashboard.
The fascia, meanwhile, uses an engine-turned aluminium finish inspired by early Bentleys, while the three gauges of the Bentley Rotating Display receive their own bespoke colours.
The W12 remains
Underneath all the craftsmanship is something we're unlikely to see much more of: Bentley's legendary 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12.
Here it produces 740 bhp, making the Batur the most powerful expression of the W12 used in Bentley's coachbuilt series. For a car designed to stay with its owner for life, that's a rather fitting farewell to one of Bentley's most famous engines.
Batur Convertible #4 isn't really about choosing options from a configurator. It's closer to commissioning a piece of design — which is exactly what Mulliner's modern coachbuilding programme is trying to bring back.
