The Bentley W-12 Is Dead—But Not Before One Last Hurrah
Bentley's iconic W-12 engine is heading to the big junkyard in the sky after more than 20 years in production and over 100,000 12-cylinder vehicles produced. But it's not going out on a whimper. During Monterey Car Week , Bentley is introducing its new Batur Convertible by Mulliner. The new Batur is an even more stylish take on the automaker's already pretty and powerful droptop. Photo by: Bentley Packing Bentley's ubiquitous twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W-12 engine, the Batur Convertible by Mulliner makes a whopping 740 horsepower—the same amount as the standard convertible and coupe. In this case, though, those 740 horses pair with a one-of-one design created in collaboration with one of Bentley's clients. The exterior of this Batur Convertible wears an Opalite paint job with Beluga and Mandarin accents, including a central racing stripe with two smaller accent lines on either side. The interior features a 'one plus one' design with Beluga black leather and Alcantara on the driver's side, and Linen white with Alcantara on the passenger side. A rear luggage department features similar Beluga black and Mandarin orange accents, complete with a two-piece luggage set designed specifically for this vehicle. Just like the seats, even the luggage wears Beluga black and Linen white—one for the driver, one for the passenger. Photo by: Bentley Photo by: Bentley The Batur Convertible by Mulliner debuts next week in California during Monterey Car Week. Naturally, Bentley doesn't have a price tag for its newest Batur, which it dubs a 'true one-off.' That said, this Batur Convertible is likely one of the last Bentleys ever produced with the automaker's iconic 12-cylinder engine. For that alone, we'd say it's pretty priceless.

2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed For Sale With Just 6,500 Miles
Rolls-Royce and Bentley are two of the undisputed forces in the "as opulent a car as money can get you" segment. The Bentley Continental GT has been the latter's grand touring centerpiece since 2003, as both a two-door coupe and a convertible, both with four seats. Those who wanted both grand touring luxury and tremendous power at the press of a pedal could opt for the Continental GT Speed, and this particular 2024 model with just 6,500 miles is for sale on Exotic Car Trader. You can check out the listing by clicking here. The 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed was the last one to feature the famous W12 engine that was used in the model since its introduction back in 2003. This generation of the Continental GT was the first production car to feature an entire body side made from what's called the "Super Formed" process, a technique in which heated aluminium is molded with gas to create more complex, sharply defined body lines. That curvaceous exterior, featuring muscular haunches at the front and rear, is draped in a shade of Anthracite from Bentley's Mulliner range of colors and boasts the Continental Blackline Specification, complete with a Matrix grille. It sits on 22" black Speed wheels, with the all-too-necessary self-leveling center caps so the general populace always knows they're in the presence of a Bentley. Thinking about selling your car? Get a value estimate and list it online with Exotic Car Trader. Click here to learn more. The interior sports a largely matching black interior with Mandarin-colored accents on the seats, dashboard, center console, and doors. A few special cabin touches include an industry-first rotating display, a heated windshield, a high-gloss carbon fiber dashboard with diamond knurling, the Touring Specification, which adds lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control, and a 2,200W Naim sound system with 18 speakers and Active Bass Transducers built into the front seats. Above the passengers is a panoramic glass roof with LED lamps and the Mood Lighting Specification, to ensure the vibe within your Bentley is immaculate at all times. As previously mentioned, the real magic happens under the hood where the 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine lives. The hand-built British beast makes 650 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Bentley reports a 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. The titanium sports exhaust system helps channel the glorious roar of the 12 cylinders to the rear of the car, leaving behind a symphony wherever you go. Few cars can combine unmistakable opulence and brutish power in one perfectly molded package quite like a Bentley Continental GT Speed. From the crystal headlights and taillights to its curves and haunches, to its last-generation W12 engine under the hood, every inch of this car is an absolute sight to behold. The $279,999 asking price is also a sight to behold, but you are getting so much for that price tag that if I had the money, I wouldn't hesitate to hit that "Buy Now" button.
