Bentley Mulliner Reveals Batur Convertible #4: A Masterpiece of Bespoke Craftsmanship
SME News UK. Bentley Motors’ bespoke division, Mulliner, has completed its most highly curated Batur Convertible to date, delivering an extraordinary example of personalisation, craftsmanship, and performance. Known as Batur Convertible #4, the one-of-a-kind grand tourer exemplifies the pinnacle of Bentley’s modern coachbuilt era.
Commissioned by renowned collector Sonia Breslow, the vehicle continues a remarkable lineage of bespoke Bentleys that includes a Blower Continuation Series, Speed Six Continuation Series, Bacalar, and now the Batur Convertible. Each commission reflects Breslow’s meticulous attention to detail and her philosophy of long-term automotive ownership.
A Vision of Cohesive Luxury
Bentley Mulliner worked closely with the client to achieve a harmonious visual identity across colours, materials, and finishes. The exterior features a bespoke tri-tone paint scheme, incorporating the client’s own commissioned colour, Breslow Blue, accented by a 6 mm gloss-silver fine line that emphasises the Batur’s signature endless bonnet design.
For the first time in Bentley history, Mulliner has produced a bespoke coloured convertible roof, colour-matched to Breslow Blue. When stowed, the roof reveals an Airbridge finished in the same exclusive hue, creating a seamless aesthetic rarely seen in open-top grand tourers.
Additional exterior highlights include:
- Midnight Breslow Blue bonnet pinstripe
- Accent colours on wheels and wing mirrors
- Polished titanium exhaust finishers
- Bright silver front and rear grilles
Personalisation at Its Most Intimate
Inside the cabin, Mulliner’s craftsmanship reaches new levels of personal expression. Upon entry, an animated welcome lamp projects Sonia Breslow’s handwritten signature onto the ground, formed by 415,800 microscopic mirrors that sculpt the light with remarkable precision.
The interior palette blends warm autumnal tones—tan leather, caramel hues, and subtle light-blue accents—drawing inspiration from the exterior colourway and continuing the visual narrative into the cabin. Contrast stitching flows across the tonneau, seats, headrests, and instrument panel, while deep-pile floor mats feature a subtle outline of Mount Batur, the volcanic inspiration behind the car’s name.
Innovation Meets Heritage
Paying homage to Bentley’s early design heritage, the cabin fascia features a bright aluminium engine-spin finish, complemented by the Bentley Rotating Display with bespoke-coloured gauge faces and a satin blue Bentley clock.
Marking a technological milestone, Batur Convertible #4 debuts Bentley’s first use of 3D-printed platinum. Crafted from this precious metal, the top-dead-centre steering wheel marker and organ stop controls demonstrate Mulliner’s ability to blend traditional luxury with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.
Unmatched Performance
Despite its highly bespoke nature, the Batur Convertible retains Bentley’s most powerful production engine ever offered:
- 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12
- 740 bhp
- Hand-assembled at Bentley’s Crewe facility
This ensures the Batur Convertible delivers the performance expected of Mulliner’s flagship coachbuilt series, pairing exhilarating power with refined grand touring comfort.
A Defining Statement of Modern Coachbuilding
Describing her passion, Sonia Breslow said:
“When I have a car like this Batur, I don’t plan on selling it in my lifetime—it’s my forever car. I love designing them, choosing every colour, every shade, every feature. Making them unlike anything else.”
Batur Convertible #4 stands as a masterclass in collaboration, uniting client vision, Mulliner craftsmanship, and Bentley innovation. As it joins its Mulliner siblings in a remarkable private collection, it reinforces Bentley’s position at the forefront of modern luxury coachbuilding.
