Bentley Batur Assessment 2025, Value & Specs

Bentley says the hand-built nature of the Batur provides refinement benefits. A craftsperson capable of take their time to suit seals precisely could make Batur quieter even than the usual automotive, they reckon.

Inside, there’s some instant familiarity to the Batur as a result of it retains the dash-top, gently rotating tri-faced show panel and most switches from the common GT. 

Elsewhere, although, little is left unchanged – the instrument design, door playing cards, seats, some important switches, which may be 3D-printed if you happen to favor. The rear +2 seats have develop into a storage shelf, whereas the physique means the boot has a compact lid, though it’s fairly deep and vast inside. Tailor-made baggage is offered. In fact.

The Batur is absent from the Bentley’s on-line configurator, so you’ll both go to the manufacturing facility for a chat about it, or they may ship a designer to you. What’s uncommon is how 3D printing means that you can tweak the inside switches. One of many two prototypes has gold ‘organ cease’ vent controls, the opposite an experiment in machined titanium – its edges are a bit too sharp for the time being, as prickly as grabbing a gooseberry. 

There’s extra personalisation than ever for floor supplies, too: ask properly and they’re going to exit the again to the veneer retailer, the place the uncommon woods are stored. At instances there received’t be sufficient for a full manufacturing run, however they’ll normally scrape off sufficient for one or two automobiles.

It’s tempting to assume this stage of element, quite than the engineering programme, is the place your cash goes, however I think a number of quid has been spent there too. The brand new engine calibration may have been sturdiness examined someplace sizzling and someplace chilly; leather-based surfaces must be baked in daylight and used to see how they age.

This kind of factor is going on in our take a look at automobiles, certainly one of which has completed 20,000 miles already. It’s why I’m shocked by how collectively they really feel, but additionally why in a single there’s an emergency electrical cut-off swap in a cupholder.
