Video: driving the most powerful production Bentley ever, the £1.65m Batur

The Batur is the most powerful and most expensive production Bentley ever. It’s not a new Continental, but does draw the eye towards what future Bentley product will look like - with particular reference to the era of incoming electric Bentleys. Under the bodywork there’s a Continental W12 Speed, albeit with a few… tweaks.

You see, it’s technically a Bentley Batur by Mulliner, throwing back to Bentley’s long history of bespoke coachbuilding - and that means very exclusive low-volume bodywork and more individualisation than most of us will know what to do with.

Interested? Tough luck. All Baturs have already been sold, but Top Gear magazine’s Tom Ford was lucky enough to drive one.
