Bentley has announced that it will reveal a new coach-built Bentley come 7 May 2024.

The new car will join the ranks of the Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe as the third coach-built Bentley of the firm's modern era. Created by Mulliner, the new vehicle will continue Mulliner's tradition of crafting truly individual cars tailored to the wishes of each of its extraordinary clients.

Bentley states that production of this new vehicle will be limited to just 16 pieces, and adds that these examples will be among the last every Bentleys to be powered by its iconic W12 engine in its most powerful iteration.

For some context, the Bentley Batur already saw the output of this engine pushed all the way to a heady total of 720bhp. The firm also unveiled a special lineup of Speed Edition 12 examples of the Bentayga, Flying Spur, Continental GT, and GTC in May 2023 to celebrate the retirement of its W12 engine. How many more of these W12-equipped special edition examples does the world really need?
