Bentley's Mulliner division reconnected with its historic coach building roots with the 2020 release of the limited-edition Bacalar roadster, which swiftly sold out its entire production run. This success highlights a clear demand for exclusive, small-batch models, and now anticipation builds for the unveiling of the next iteration.
The preview images deliberately maintain an air of mystery, making it challenging to discern the precise nature of the upcoming model. However, one image appears to reveal a tonneau cover, strongly suggesting that the new Bentley will be a convertible. Another image showcases a distinctive rear end with a ducktail-like spoiler and horizontal lights, hinting at a potential resemblance to the Batur, introduced in 2022 as a preview of Bentley's evolving design language.
While speculation abounds regarding the possibility of a convertible Batur, no official confirmation has been made. Nevertheless, it's evident that Mulliner has once again crafted a two-door sports car, reaffirming Bentley's commitment to this segment.
Powered by Bentley's renowned twin-turbocharged W12 engine, the upcoming model promises to deliver exceptional performance. Whether it will match or surpass the Batur's impressive output of 730 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque remains uncertain, but it will undoubtedly represent one of the pinnacle W12-powered offerings from Bentley.
With production limited to just 16 units worldwide, exclusivity is assured. Each car is expected to command a base price exceeding seven figures before customization options are factored in. The unveiling of this enigmatic model is scheduled for May 7, promising further details and excitement for Bentley enthusiasts.
