Engine, transmission, and power
The all-new Bentley Batur features the powerful 6.0-liter W12 engine that was first used with the Continental GT in 2002. The engine has been redesigned to produce higher efficiency, it now features a new intake system, upgraded turbochargers, new intercoolers, and extensive recalibration. The engine produces 740 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque.
The 6.0-Liter W12 engine is mated to the company’s eight-speed double-clutch transmission, and a sports exhaust system to give out a soundtrack in keeping with the level of performance. The exhaust system is made of titanium, while the finishers are 3D-printed in titanium.
The chassis
Standard on the new Batur is the adaptive three-chamber air springs which come with three switchable chambers each to aid in changing the volume of the air spring thereby bringing about high effective stiffness.
The Drive Dynamics Control also changes the behavior of the 48V electric active anti-roll control system. This new system can provide up to 1,300 Nm of anti-roll torque in 0.3 seconds or completely decouple the wheels at either end of each axle. The anti-roll control system can also be used to adjust the roll stiffness front-to-rear, giving the Batur sharper turn-in and greater ability to balance the car on the throttle when in Sport mode.
The interior of the Batur
The interior is designed to offer ultimate luxury and comfort. Clients can choose from a variety of sustainable interior materials which include:
- Low-carbon leather sourced from Scotland, which travels a significantly smaller distance than leather sourced from outside the UK.
- Sustainable tannage leather from Italy, in five different colors.
- Dinamica an alternative suede-like sustainable material to leather.
The carpets are made from recycled yarn. Clients have the option to choose between bright or dark elements for the interior bright ware and titanium. Organ stops for ventilation are available in 3D printed 18K gold.
The veneers to the instrument panel, fascias, and doors are Gloss Black painted, with a “guitar fade” to fine Brodgar that flows from the fascias to the doors, before fading back to black.
The exterior design
The exterior is designed with aerodynamics in mind. Clients can choose from an endless array of choices. Paint choices are infinite, starting with a full Mulliner color palette and traveling beyond into fully bespoke paint and even hand-painted graphics.
The exterior bright ware can be any mix of light and dark, satin or gloss, or even titanium. Another option graduated contrast color to the grille, for a vibrant ombre effect.
Standard on the Batur is the 22″ wheels that are painted in Black Crystal and then surface bright machined and polished. An option of a darker wheel wheel combines dark gloss faces with satin spokes, while customers can also choose to paint-match the wheels to the body with or without contrast finish or to choose a different contrast color.
The “endless bonnet” line is finished in Satin Titanium paint, as are the 22” wheels- with the spokes in Satin Dark Titanium to match the grille.
