New Bentley Batur convertible
Only 16 of these beauties will be made at the Mulliner branch and the cost as you can imagine will be eye opening.

They are so huuuuuge and so cool. This was at the last club shed tour I did. Don’t even ask about service costs. |

The cinematography is better than the car.
They're not doing it for you, or me, or even the 16 people, they're doing it for advertising, which is their legacy. |

I don't think so. Had the OP never posted the video, I'd never have seen it. I think people who can afford a Bentley are not persuaded by advertising.

Ya, I don't wanna rain on OP's parade either but I personally don't get the idea of Bentley even if I was one of the eligible 16. Talk about the anti-thesis of the Miata/Lotus concept, not for ppl who really love to drive.

I'm sure these 16 off Batur's and the previous limited production ones are not Bentley's intention of saying they are only going to a chosen few.

I'm just going to drop this here:

All that money and it still comes w a soft top...and no, that's not how it was meant to be. If the old carmakers back in the day had today's tech, do you really think they would place a napkin where a metal roof is supposed to be? They only did it because that's all they knew what to do w their ltd expertise/tech/etc.
