Bentley’s latest limited-edition model, The Black Rose Batur, has been described as more than just a car—a “moving jewel box.” This ultra-rare vehicle, part of Bentley’s Batur series, sets a new benchmark in the global luxury car market with its exquisite craftsmanship and innovative use of materials.
A Golden Touch: Bentley’s Cutting-Edge Interior
The Black Rose Batur takes bespoke luxury to an unprecedented level. It features up to 210 grams of 18K rose gold on key driver touchpoints, including the drive mode selector, steering wheel marker, and dashboard organ stop vent controls. The solid gold accents, valued at over $23,000, are not mere adornments but a testament to the vehicle’s opulence.
Bentley collaborated with British goldsmith Cooksongold to create the intricate gold detailing. This is even more remarkable because all gold components are made from 100% recycled precious metals. Bentley was the first automaker to incorporate 3D-printed 18K rose gold into its interiors, which was certified as genuine by the Birmingham Jewelry Quarter. Some parts even feature engravings commemorating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
Batur: The Epitome of Limited-Edition Luxury, With One Unit Allocated to Korea
The Black Rose is an extension of Bentley’s exclusive Batur series, developed by its bespoke division, Mulliner.
The original Batur was produced in just 18 units worldwide. The second project in the series, The Black Rose, is expected to follow the same limited production run.
An industry insider remarked that this model represents the pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship, blending artistry with cutting-edge technology.
Exquisite Materials Inside and Out
The Black Rose boasts a specially developed Black Rose Metallic paint, complemented by high-gloss Beluga on the upper body. Satin rose gold accents adorn the front grille, side mirror caps, and brake calipers, adding to the car’s striking presence. The 22-inch wheels conceal carbon ceramic brakes with black calipers, merging performance and aesthetics.
Inside, the Black Rose offers the most lavish interior among Bentley Mulliner models. Rose gold brilliance meets premium Beluga leather, charcoal gray tweed, and Black Rose metallic paint veneer. Every detail is customizable, ensuring each car is a truly bespoke creation.
Bentley Redefines Sustainable Luxury
Bentley is redefining sustainable luxury with the Black Rose. In 2022, the brand invested £3 million (USD 3.21 million) to enhance its 3D printing capabilities at its Crewe headquarters. This technology converts CAD designs into physical components and plays a vital role in Bentley’s high-end manufacturing process.
The Black Rose showcases Bentley’s commitment to craftsmanship and demonstrates how luxury can harmonize with sustainability and innovation. With its limited production run, it is expected to become a highly sought-after collector’s item, epitomizing exclusivity and prestige.
A Symbol of Luxury and Prestige
As Bentley continues to push the boundaries of luxury and sustainability, the Black Rose Batur is poised to become a symbol of unmatched exclusivity. The eagerly awaited 18-unit production run will set a new standard for bespoke luxury vehicles, reaffirming Bentley’s place at the pinnacle of the luxury automotive market.
