Bentley now also makes platinum in 3D – Jalopnik

In recent years, Bentley has worked very hard to increase customization options and introduce new coachbuilt models such as the roofless Bacalar, Batur coupe and Batur convertible. Only 16 of the Batur droptops will be made, but even at that rarity level, you still want your Batur to be different from anyone else’s, whether that’s through the color scheme, materials used, or other custom touches. Last year, Bentley showed off a Batur coupe with interior components made from 3D-printed rose gold, and now it’s detailing a Batur convertible with 3D-printed platinum parts. Take that, Batur coupe owner!

Those platinum bits aren’t Bentley’s only “first” for this Batur. This car is number 4 of 16 and therefore has the theme ‘the power of four’, with four new customization options. It also features the automaker’s first custom color soft top, first custom animated puddle lights and first three-tone color scheme. Bentley says this Batur is “the most luxurious commission yet” that Mulliner Coachbuilt has created.

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about cars. If I have a car like this Batur, I don’t plan to sell it in my lifetime – it’s my car forever. I’m all about the details and I love designing them: picking the colors, going through every shade and feature that makes them different from everything else.

All three exterior colors were created for Breslow. The upper Breslow Blue is matched to the canvas roof, and the Airbridge running above the hood is also color matched. Midnight Breslow Blue is used on the hood, lower body and as accents on the wheels and side mirrors. The third color is gloss silver used as a fine 0.2 inch pinstripe that runs from the front of the hood all the way around the rear deck. All grilles are finished in bright silver, as are the wheels, and the titanium exhaust system has polished tips.

Instead of wood, carbon fiber or stone (yes, that’s a thing), Breslow’s Batur has bright, engine-turned aluminum spanning the dash and door panels, a classic look that not enough Bentley owners specify. The three clocks on the rotating display have custom light blue dials, just like the clock in the lower dashboard. Oh yeah, and there’s that 3D printed platinum, but it’s on some pretty small parts: the dead center at the top of the steering wheel and the organ stops for the climate control system.

As with other Baturs, this convertible will be one of the last new Bentleys to use the 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine, which is already out of production for “normal” cars. In the Batur it delivers 740 hp and sounds great. The Batur convertible starts at around $2 million, but Breslow’s was certainly much more than that.
