Remember the Bentley Batur from a couple of years ago? Well, it’s back, but this time it’s without a roof, so allow us to introduce you to the Bentley Batur Convertible.

Many of the details are similar to the coupe, meaning it has an uprated twin-turbo W12 engine and is a coachbuilt car by Bentley’s Mulliner division. Unlike the Continental GTC that can seat four, the Batur Convertible is only a two-seater, eschewing the rear seats for a gorgeous “airbridge” behind the front two seats – it’s meant to remind of roofless sports cars of old. Plus, if you look underneath the airbridge and tapered cowls, you’ll notice it offers a little bit of storage space for luggage to augment the trunk.

The W12 engine under its long hood is more potent than most of Bentley’s W12-powered cars thanks to a revised intake, upgraded turbochargers, new intercoolers, titanium exhaust and a unique engine tune, bringing output to 740 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque.
