Bentley unveiled the 18-unit limited series Batur as a grand touring coupe at the 2022 Monterey Car Week, and it was the most powerful vehicle ever built by the British brand.

The car manufacturer chose a different way of saying "goodbye" to the W12 turbocharged powerplant that moved Bentleys for about two decades. The Batur was based on the Continental GT, but it was built by the automaker's bespoke Mulliner division.

The exterior kind of resembled the shapes of a Continental GT in terms of proportions, but the details made it look completely different. At the front, the V-shaped grille resembled a boat's bow, and it was flanked on the upper side by a pair of swept-back headlights. In addition, on the lower side of the bumper and on the sides, there were additional cooling areas, which were all functional. The hood, which resembled the one from the Bacalar, featured a center spine and a pair of exhaust vents placed on the front side. The Batur's profile showed a set of exhaust vents on the doors, while the greenhouse featured a sloped-down line towards the back of the coupe.

Inside, Bentley not only created a luxurious, leather-clad interior, but it also added some 18-karat gold trims around the cabin, including on the drive-select dial. There were a pair of bolstered seats at the front and a bench for two in the back.

Under the hood stood a hand-built, twin-turbocharged W12 engine that sent its 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) torque in all corners via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain also featured all-wheel steering, torque vectoring, and a rear eLSD.
