Heart of Gold: The Bentley Mulliner Batur

Don’t worry, your bank account is safe: all 18 examples of the exclusive Bentley Mulliner Batur are already spoken for. So why include it here? Because Bentley is giving us a sneak peek of what their future electric cars will look like — only this one has a 730-hp 12-cylinder beast of an engine. Just imagine all the springs, gears, valves, pistons, cams, and cranks spinning around in there, turning long-composted dinosaurs into sweet, sweet power! Obviously, it’s fast, easily cruising at 320 km/h. But perhaps the most noteworthy elements are the solid 3D-printed 18K gold trim pieces on the steering wheel and infotainment control knob.

The interior, as you’d imagine, is massively customizable and resplendent with natural materials, sustainably sourced leathers, and sophisticated modern composites. Based on the existing Continental GT, the Batur is also AWD, but it only has space for two occupants, despite the rather commodious roofline of this coach-built special — another hint at the shape of things to come.
