BENTLEY BATUR CONVERTIBLE #4: WHEN BESPOKE BECOMES PERSONAL.
Bentley’s Mulliner division has completed its most highly curated Batur Convertible to date, and it’s less a car than a rolling expression of personal taste. Known simply as Batur Convertible #4, this coachbuilt masterpiece joins an already rarefied collection that includes a Blower Continuation Series, Speed Six Continuation Series, and the trailblazing Bacalar. The client, Sonia Breslow, approaches commissioning a Bentley as a long-term relationship, not a transaction. Every surface, shade, and material is considered as part of a wider narrative, ensuring cohesion across her growing stable while still pushing Mulliner into new creative territory. “This is my forever car,” she says. “I don’t plan on selling it in my lifetime. I love the detail, the process, and making each one different from everything else.”
The exterior leans unapologetically into luxury, finished in a tri-tone paint scheme built around Breslow’s own commissioned colours. A razor-thin 6 mm gloss silver fine line traces the Batur’s dramatic endless-bonnet profile, while the upper body wears Breslow Blue, a bespoke shade matched precisely to the convertible roof canvas. When the roof is stowed, the effect becomes even more theatrical, revealing the Airbridge painted in the same bespoke blue, marking the first time Bentley has produced a fully custom-coloured roof to match. Additional detailing includes a Midnight Breslow Blue bonnet pinstripe, colour-matched accents on the wheels and wing mirrors, polished titanium exhaust finishers, and bright silver grilles that keep the overall look crisp rather than ostentatious.
Open the door, and the personalisation shifts from visual to emotional. The animated welcome lamp projects Sonia Breslow’s handwritten signature onto the ground, created using 415,800 microscopic mirrors that sculpt the light itself. It’s a moment of theatre you’ll never see twice in another Bentley. Inside, the cabin blends warm autumnal tones, tans and caramel hues, offset by subtle light-blue accents that echo the Breslow Blue exterior. Contrast stitching flows seamlessly from the tonneau through the seats, headrests, and instrument panel, while even the silhouette of Mount Batur’s volcano, the car’s namesake, is delicately worked into the deep-pile floor mats. Classic Bentley cues meet cutting-edge craft. A bright aluminium engine spin finish, inspired by early Bentleys, wraps the fascia, complemented by a Bentley Rotating Display featuring bespoke gauge faces and a satin blue clock.
But the real headline lies in the details you touch. Batur Convertible #4 debuts Bentley’s first use of 3D-printed platinum, applied to the steering wheel’s top dead centre marker and each organ stop. It’s subtle, precious, and entirely unnecessary, which is exactly the point. Despite its couture-level detailing, the Batur Convertible remains a Bentley in the truest sense. Under the endless bonnet sits the most powerful version of the marque’s iconic W12, a 552 kW, hand-assembled twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre engine, delivering the kind of effortless, continent-crossing performance expected of Mulliner’s flagship coachbuilt series. Batur Convertible #4 is a masterclass in collaboration, where client vision and Mulliner craftsmanship meet without compromise. Quietly spectacular.
