Bentley Batur and Ducati Diavel for Bentley

Beatific Beauties

In December, Bentley and Ducati teamed up to create 500 limitededition Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner motorbikes—50 of which are reserved for Bentley customers—and 18 Bentley Batur cars, to be handcrafted by Mulliner, the oldest coachbuilder in the world, and Bentley’s in-house bespoke division. Naturally, the mightiest Bentley was chosen for the association. Bentley Batur, with six-litre 750PS twin-turbo W12 engine, is the marque’s most powerful car. The engine will be matched to a Bentley chassis with speed-tuned air suspension, electric active anti-roll control, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring. Named after Lake Batur, a crater lake on the island of Bali, it combines Bentley craftsmanship with a sculptured, muscular bodywork embodying a new design direction conceived by director of design Andreas Mindt that will inform Bentley’s future battery electric vehicles. Both Diavel for Bentley and Bentley Batur in this collaboration are in metallic Scarab Green colour with aggressive lines of Diavel V4 a reflection of Batur’s features.
