Bentley’s Mulliner custom vehicle division recently revealed the first Batur Convertible. This unique car, designed in close collaboration with its buyer, features a One plus One interior with different colorways for the driver and the single passenger. It’s also the most powerful convertible Grand Tourer Bentley has ever created.

Why the Batur Convertible is significant

The bespoke Batur Convertible intentionally employs exterior and interior design to emphasize the car’s performance. If the exterior design reminds you of classic racing cars, that’s intentional. The ‘driver-focused cockpit’ featuring Beluga black and Linen colorways, respectively for the driver and passenger, keeps the focus on the driver.

Mulliner is the oldest coachbuilder in the world, creating special vehicles for Bentley. The Batur Convertible is one of just a few cars in an extremely limited edition, each of which will be designed with the owner.

Powered by Bentley’s W12, a hand-built 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, the Batur Convertible’s motor produces up to 740 brake horsepower. This engine is hand-assembled at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe.

Bentley positions the Mulliner creation as the ultimate open-air grand tourer. A rear luggage compartment holds two pieces of custom luggage, one in Beluga to match the driver’s cockpit colorway. The passenger’s luggage matches the Linen color palette. Mulliner also built a Batur coupe.

The Batur Convertible is the first customer version. Mulliner will present its engineering development car, called Batur Convertible Car Zero, at Monterey Car Week, following its initial appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Bentley Bentayga Speed was the fastest ICE SUV, setting a record in the challenging Goodwood Hillclimb.

Porsche just proved the Cheyenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cheyenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series

Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
