  • This'll is the back of a two seater Bentley without a roof inspired by last year's E X P 100 GT concept.

  • But where is that was merely a design vision this Israel?

  • 12 cars have rebuilt, all of them already sold, costing £1.5 million each.

  • You are gonna love or loathe the fact that there's a rash of these super limited, multi £1,000,000 specials.

  • At the moment.

  • Cars like the Ferrari, Monza, the Aston speeds to the McCarran Elva on Now this.

  • But before you dismiss the back allies Bentley trying to turn a quick buck or grab some headlines, there's actually more to this story than meets the eye.

  • Yes, on one level, the backlog is just a shrewd bit of business.

  • But it also marks the return of Bentley Mulliner as a proper coach builder, a company that can trace its roots back to the 15 hundreds when it made its money pimping up horse drawn carriages.

  • Baccala is the first in milliners coach bill portfolio, so there will be more models to follow that offer radical bodies on familiar underpinnings and the ultimate in personalization that then complements the classic portfolio which was kicked off last year with the news that Bentley is gonna build 12 continuation supercharged blowers from the late twenties.

  • And, of course, Mulliner will still let you go nuts with the color trim and materials in your standard back to the back lot.

  • It shares just one exterior part with the Conte GT.

  • Yes, it's the door hand because it contains the killer sentry system.

  • The rest is only starting at the front.

  • Then this lower intake and these headlights here with the L E.

  • D running lights leading off the side of them.

  • That's pure E X p 100 GT concept.

  • I'm not so sure about these intakes in the bonnet little bit man story.

  • For me, these 22 inch wheels are actually quite cool.

  • You got get really up close to appreciate them that diamond cut.

  • But it's the contours of the wheel that really impressive the way that they come out and then swoop back in and like, particularly like this ninja star cap in the middle.

  • In fact, the rear wheels are a lot more pronouncing at the front.

  • You need to take a look up there, moving down the side of the car.

  • This is not a convertible, of course, because it doesn't have a roof at all.

  • But a ll the better for looking back there where the receipts would be is now a sort of semi enclosed luggage compartment, which is useful but also looks very cool indeed, especially because the center console runs down the middle of the car and then swoops up, looping around the luggage compartment and creating these buttresses or cows or whatever you wanna call them.

  • Um, just to mention this Brahms trim that runs alongside the top of the car.

  • It's a bit of me that is the rear clamshell, by the way, that's aluminium, the doors on the front wings, they're carbon fiber.

  • And if we come around the back, just a couple more things to show you the tail lights, those a pure E x p 100 GT concept again.

  • You got floating Bentley bad here on the track with its 20 mil wider at the rear than a continuity.

  • So, yeah, it's got presence, but it's the palette of materials that really fry your brain.

  • There's paint made from rice husk waste parts of the dash indoors a Cup from Riverwood, preserved in peat bogs for 5000 years.

  • Giving it that unique black color on British wool is used alongside beluga leather on the seats on the inside.

  • The overall architecture is pretty familiar.

  • Continental GT, right down to the rotating screen in the middle of the dash.

  • Will I ever get bored about?

  • Then we get down to the details, the stuff that makes this interior unique.

  • Stuff like these no world stocks behind the wheel and the wheel itself, which is flat bottom and has the back Alana logo down here at the bottom.

  • And then you go leather straps for door pulls and in the center of the dash here, this event on the clock in the middle has been completely redesigned, and this is personalized down here with this turquoise finish, and it says one of 12.

  • And then we get to the color of materials and there are quite a lot to go through.

  • If I'm honest, so stick with me.

  • Starting at the top of the dash, we've got black leather next to yellow lever on.

  • That's next to the 5000 year old river.

  • Would that we mentioned earlier.

  • We're gonna call it Bog word From now on, more brass trim classic mentally veneer there and then that's matched against this great British War will.

  • Then we're down into the balloon leather on the seats, not for the faint hearted this bed, but then, that's the whole point.

  • With this Carly personalization Sky's the limit for that.

  • If you could dream up any color material combination you like.

  • Bentley can make it happen.

  • My favorite bit about the interior.

  • Check out the speak to cover.

  • Oh, I forgot to mention it moves, too, because under there is a six litre, Twin Turbo W 12 engine producing 650 horsepower, which is about 25 horsepower more than you get in the standard Contin G T.

  • It's got the same eight speed twin clutch gearbox.

  • It's got the same air suspension is essentially underneath a Continental GT, which is in no way a bad thing.

  • But while some of these will be driven occasionally, most would just be admired.

  • They're gonna be parked up like a piece of art, which is a bit of a shame, isn't it?

  • Personally up.

This'll is the back of a two seater Bentley without a roof inspired by last year's E X P 100 GT concept.
