Discover the Bentley Batur “The Black Rose"
April 15 2025,
Bentley unveils a unique achievement dubbed “The Black Rose”, an exceptional model of the Batur, produced in just 18 examples worldwide. This vehicle is distinguished by its entirely customized creation process, in close collaboration between the customer and the design team at Mulliner, Bentley's bespoke division. Among these 18 grand touring coupes, “The Black Rose” stands out even more, being one of only three right-hand-drive models.
An exterior design of rare elegance
The bodywork of “The Black Rose” features an exclusive metallic hue, specially developed for this customer. This “Black Rose” finish, combined with a glossy Beluga roof, gives the car a look that's both discreet and bold. Rose Gold satin accents highlight key elements: the front grille, mirror caps, rocker panels and even the 22” wheels. These golden details subtly enhance the car's design, while maintaining a refined aesthetic coherence.
A cabin where luxury reaches new heights
Inside, the dark theme continues with carefully selected materials, such as Beluga leather and a charcoal gray tweed fabric. This sophisticated frame is illuminated by solid rose gold elements, created using a 3D printing technique unprecedented in the automotive industry. Up to 210 grams of 18-carat gold adorn the key controls: the driving mode selector, the typical Bentley air vents and a discreet marker on the steering wheel. These precious details reflect the extreme attention paid to personalization and innovation.
Sustainable craftsmanship
This collaboration with master goldsmith Cooksongold marks a breakthrough in the alliance between traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The gold used comes exclusively from recycled jewelry, demonstrating Bentley's commitment to sustainable luxury. Each gold piece is certified and hallmarked in Birmingham's jewelry district, ensuring its authenticity. Some pieces also bear a commemorative hallmark in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee.
Mulliner's art of personalization
For almost a century, Mulliner has been helping the most demanding Bentley customers realize their automotive dreams. This personalized service goes far beyond the usual standards, enabling unique finishes to be imagined, from the choice of materials to the most precise aesthetic details. The Batur, with its 18 units, embodies this philosophy of extreme personalization, and “The Black Rose” is the perfect example.
A symbol of distinction and innovation
“The Black Rose” is not just a car, it's the expression of a rare expertise, where every detail bears witness to a quest for exclusivity and innovation. Thanks to Mulliner, Bentley pushes the boundaries of personalized luxury, offering its customers creations to match their most singular aspirations. This model illustrates not only the art of bespoke design, but also a modern and enduring vision of automotive refinement.
