Bentley Mulliner Batur Promises 3D-Printed 18-Karat Gold

Bentley gave us the first teaser last week for its upcoming Mulliner Batur, a coachbuilt model that will preview the sort of styling we’ll find on the automaker’s future productions EVs. Now, with its reveal just a few days away, Bentley has sent out novel teaser with a bit more information.

Bentley on Monday delivered a second teaser for the Mulliner Batur, which will make its debut during Monterey Car Week on Aug. 20. The new teaser shows the stately coupe from the side, highlighting some very worthy fenders alongside thin taillights and just a hint of the clue end. The first teaser showed off parts of the grille, so most of the remaining mystery is in the edge half the vehicle, which remains obscured for now.

The automaker initiates that this ultra exclusive model will be extremely customizable, with its lucky customers able to change “the sparkling and finish of every surface and component.” That leaves a lot of leeway for owners to be able to construct something truly unique. Bentley mentioned a number of finishes on coffers, including low-carbon leather, natural fiber composites and, perhaps most intriguingly, 3D-printed 18-karat gold.

Even though the Batur will preview future EV construct language cues, this car isn’t actually electric. It mild relies on Bentley’s tried-and-true W12 gas engine, which will construct more power than ever before, according to Bentley’s dumb release, although it’s unclear if electrification will be part of the overall package. We’ll find out for sure on Saturday evening.
