Bentley brings in new talent to continue building on incredible success. Bentley recently announced that it delivered 15,174 cars last year, which is not only a new record and the third year in a row where Bentley has broken its previous record, but it is also the first time in the manufacturer’s history that it delivered over 15,000 cars. A large part of its success is thanks to the customization that customers are offered from Bentley’s bespoke division: Mulliner. Derived from the world’s oldest coachbuilder, Mulliner offers unparalleled levels of craftsmanship, and the ability for Bentley owners to make beautifully unique vehicles, having completed 500 commission builds in 2022 alone, half as much as the 1,000 Mulliner completed in the eight years before, the division has experienced explosive success and growth. MUST READ: Bentley Brings A Bespoke Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition To The 100th Brussels Motor Show With Bentley’s sights set on going to levels even beyond the one it has achieved with Mulliner, the manufacturer has announced the appointment of a new director for both its Mulliner division and its Motorsport division: Ansar Ali. Previously, Ali worked as the Managing Director of McLaren Special Vehicle Operations, as well as in positions at Ford, Lotus, Caterham, and as a co-founder of Zenos Cars. With Bentley, Ali will be responsible for Motorsport, working with the brand’s GT3 teams, but for Bentley’s roadgoing customers, he’ll be working as director of Mulliner. With Mulliner, he’ll be responsible for the division’s three aspects, reviving Bentley classics, creating highly exclusive collector’s cars, and creating bespoke commissioned Bentley cars. With a portfolio already consisting of incredible projects like the Batur and Bacalar, Blower heritage cars, and the wide array of stunningly customized Bentleys, Bentley hopes that Ansar Ali’s appointment as director of Motorsport and Mulliner will take its already-incredible craftsmanship, luxury, and success to the next level.

Bentley Says The Bentayga Is The World's "Most Successful...

Bentley built on unprecedented success in 2022. In 2021, Bentley shattered its financial records, making for what was its best year ever as a luxury automotive brand. However, in 2022, Bentley was not only able to achieve the same success, but even build on it, achieving an incredible total sales number of 15,174 for the year. This is not only a 4% increase over 2021’s number, but also the first time that Bentley has ever seen annual sales above 15,000. For this incredible achievement, Bentley credits the rapid expansion of its bespoke Mulliner offerings, as well as the introduction of new hybrid models, an early but significant step in Bentley’s Beyond100 journey towards electrification throughout its lineup. MUST READ: Bentley Mulliner Bespoke Celebrates 500 Personal Commission Builds For 2022 The Bentayga SUV was the most popular model in 2022, and this goes along with the popularity of luxury SUVs throughout the automotive industry. With the model making up a 42% portion of Bentley’s 2022 sales, and plenty of orders for upcoming EWB and Hybrid Bentaygas, Bentley says that the Bentayga is the “most successful luxury SUV in the world.” However, the rest of Bentley’s lineup excelled, as well. The Continental GT and its convertible counterpart accounted for just under a third of sales, and the Flying Spur over a quarter. Bentley celebrates the Flying Spur’s success as evidence that its electrification efforts are well received, as 30% of the Flying Spurs sold globally were hybrid models, and in the UK, over two thirds of 2022’s Flying Spurs were hybrids. With electrification on the horizon and plenty of success on its resume, Bentley is ready to continue dominating the luxury world. View All Bentleys For Sale Source: Bentley

3D Gold Batur 1

How Bentley 3D Prints Gold For The New $2M Bentley Mullin...

Bentley uses futuristic technology to evolve traditional luxury. The new Bentley Mulliner Batur is the second highly exclusive coachbuilt model from the historic luxury brand and its even more historic Mulliner division, described as “the world’s oldest coachbuilder.” Limited to just 18 examples, the Batur and the Bacalar before it are examples of the traditional art of coachbuilding, something that was much more prevalent early in the automotive industry where cars are built in small numbers using traditional techniques, bespoke personalization down to the most minute details, and traditional artisan craftsmanship. While this is all true for the Batur, the art of coachbuilding is also brought into the modern era, with many of the luxurious appointments created using futuristic and sustainable methods, as Bentley as a manufacturer pursues the lofty goals it set out in its Beyond100 strategy. MUST READ: The New Bentley Mulliner Batur Has Started A Year-Long Testing Program One of the most stunning touches in the new W12-powered Batur coupe, which is the most powerful Bentley ever made, is the use of up to 210 grams of yellow gold featured in the interior. Seen in 18-carat details, the gold is 3D printed, which is an industry first. Owners will enjoy one of the most luxurious experiences the automotive industry has to offer with pieces like a gold Charisma Dial and gold Organ Stop vent controls, and the gold is also sustainably sourced from the Jewelry Quarter in Birmingham, UK using recycled jewelry that is ground into a fine powder before being 3D printed. Along with Bentley’s evolving manufacturing processes for sustainability, features like low-carbon leather, and other features, the Batur is a perfect and shining example of how Bentley plans to combine ultimate luxury and ultimate sustainability in the future.

Batur Car Zero 1

The New Bentley Mulliner Batur Has Started A Year-Long Te...

Even though only 18 will be made, the Bentley Batur is being painstakingly developed. One of the greatest hallmarks of Bentley’s unparalleled luxury within the automotive industry is the incredible engineering that goes into its creations. The Bentley Mulliner Batur, like the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar before it, is an example of a revival of the traditional and exquisite art of coachbuilding that was more prominent in early automotive history, incredibly rare vehicles that are tailor-made to a highly select number of VIP clients. The new Bentley Mulliner Batur will only have 18 examples in existence, but Bentley has announced that an incredibly thorough development and testing program is in full swing, and the Bentley Mulliner Batur Car #0 responsible for testing is quite the sight on its own. MUST READ: Bentley Brings 18 Cars To Chauffeur Nominees At London’s MOBO Awards Bentley is already on the other side of nearly two years of powertrain development, and because of that, the Batur will be Bentley’s most powerful model yet, promising at least 730 horsepower from its W12 engine. However, still ahead is 120 tests that will be conducted over a period of just over a year. With 800 unique parts, plus the various choices that customers will have for materials and finishes for their individual vehicles, Bentley is making it a point to ensure that the most luxurious aspect of the new Batur is its incredible quality. The Batur Car #0, Bentley’s testing vehicle, is finished in a bold purple called Purple Sector and is undergoing testing throughout Europe and at proving grounds. Currently, it is in the phase of European real-world road testing, on an over-1,500-mile route through Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. After that is finished, it will be tested at proving grounds for handling and durability at speed and in harsh conditions. It then goes on for even more real-world driving tests, and then environmental tests where it will be subjected to the harshest conditions it could possibly endure to make sure it will come out remaining strong. While new technology comes into the picture, the traditional art of coachbuilding honors the same principles of quality and luxury. View All Bentleys For Sale Source: Bentley
