Hot! W12-powered Bentley Batur

[Centurion]

I really hope this isn't the directly Bentley design is going. They need to keep the round headlights. This thing here has Aston-Martin envy and it's terrible.

Agree. However I also think that the brand needs a reinvention both inside and out.

I’d rather an Aston DB12 AND Rolls Royce Spectre AND Ferrari SF90 over this single Bentley kit car

Bentley Batur Features New, 20-Speaker Audio System That Costs $31,000
It’s exclusive to the model.

"The Bentley Batur features 800 unique parts, making it a very special vehicle from the automaker. The attention to detail and craftsmanship extends beyond the design and powertrain to include bespoke audio technology. Bentley is offering the new “Naim for Mulliner” sound system in the coupe, a $31,681 (25,000-pound) option at today’s exchange rate.

The new sound system results from 10,000 hours of innovations from Focal and Naim, with the two laying out 56 requirements and recommendations for the system. The single-piece M cones in the speakers provide rigidity without the dust cap.

Bentley designed the Batur with the speakers in mind, carefully placing them throughout the cabin. Extra strengthening around the doors and rear cabin also helped reduce distortion from the sound system.

Bentley says the “Naim by Mulliner” sound system is an expansion of its services to offer “truly bespoke vehicles.” The automaker has seen interest in its Mulliner brand grow in recent years, with demands for special paint doubling and personal commissions tripling.

Earlier this year, the automaker previewed the available customization options by presenting four possible themes. Each featured a unique interior and exterior color combination. It also highlighted the Batur’s use of sustainable materials, like coffee byproducts and flax-based options."

Scam

This is likely just Focals top of the range drivers, amps and subs rebranded as Naim.

The price likely high because:
-Bentley have used a 3rd party car installation partner for consultation and installation.
-Bespoke and logod naim speaker mounts with a bit of sound deadening on.
-Cost only spread across a small number of cars.
-EQ and sound calibration by a 3rd party.
-Batur tax of several grand because why not.


There won't be anything special about the sound system that you can't get by ordering a Continental GT with base speakers and taking it to a car specialist for upgrades.

The car just isn’t good looking. Seems like it has Aston Martin envy.

I think the car is very good looking.

But i will take a Continental GT Speed for a lot less that for sure.

Hilarious how Bentley allows lots of people to test drive it. On their balance sheet, the car's face value is probably not $2m but more closer to a high specced CGT.

 

[Design FIRST]

Not quite sure what to think of the Batur. There is certainly much that impresses. But the evidence of Audi design themes appears plentiful. While the Batur is a strictly, highly limited, extremely low volume production car, it is also said to be the precursor for the design of future electric Bentley cars such as the successors to the Continental GT/GTC and Flying Spur. Not that much if not most of Audi's design exercises are not competent. They are indeed. These cars will be clashing swords with the likes of Aston Martin, who are currently nailing the interior and exterior design of their cars.

I like the design of this car and some of the Batur design will be use in the upcoming facelift Continental GT.

Plus, the new car (Will be show May 7th) is some kind of Batur Speedster with nearly 800hp W12 (Final use of this amazing engine).

Not a fan of the style. It looks too generic to be a Bentley.

It boogles my mind that what looks, to a regular person, like your average continental GT, cost as much as a Bugatti, Zonda or koenigsegg. The regular car doesn't look that much different to the Batur:
