Bentley Revealed the “Black Rose” Batur, a Unique Custom Model with 3D-Printed Rose Gold.
Bentley introduced the “Black Rose,” a one-of-a-kind version of the Batur, in which 3D printing is used to embed 18-karat rose gold into the interior, a first in the automotive industry. This model is one of only 18 produced by Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division, and marks a major technological advancement.
The most innovative aspect of the “Black Rose” Batur lies in the use of 3D printing to produce elements in rose gold. This technique, called “Additive Manufacturing” (AM), allows up to 210 grams of rose gold to be embedded in strategic interior areas, including the driving mode selector and ventilation controls. The gold used is 100% recycled, reflecting Bentley’s commitment to sustainable luxury.
The Most Extreme Customization
The order process for the Batur allows customers to personalize every detail, choosing materials and finishes that suit their tastes. The car features a metallic black paint complemented by satin rose gold accents, visible on elements such as the grille and 22-inch wheels. The interior combines Beluga leather, charcoal gray tweed, and Black Rose metalized veneers, creating an elegant contrast with the rose gold touches.
In collaboration with jeweler Cooksongold, Bentley developed this method of 3D gold manufacturing, a first in the industry. Each gold component is certified and stamped with the Birmingham hallmark, ensuring its authenticity. This technique is part of Bentley’s investment to double its 3D printing capacity at its Crewe factory, with a £3 million investment in 2022.
It’s hard to determine the price of this unique gold piece. But given the exceptional nature of the Batur and its innovative character, one can imagine it reaching great heights.
