Why does this story matter?
Bentley is one of the oldest automakers in the world and has a rich history of producing some of the finest grand tourers and race cars. The Mulliner Batur is a successor to Mulliner Bacalar and will likely be the last W12 engine-powered coupe before the British marque moves ahead with electric mobility solutions. The limited-run car has already been sold out.
