The company says the Mulliner Batur will showcase an all-new design language for the British company that is said to blend design characteristics from past Bentleys with new, sleeker forms. It’ll give us a preview of what we can expect from Bentley’s battery electric future. The first is set to launch in 2025.

While looking ahead to an EV future, the Batur is still supposed to celebrate . The company says that in this application, the engine will produce more power than ever before, but it didn’t go into specifics as to exactly how much power that would be.

The power of the W12 will be matched by Bentley’s “most advanced chassis system ever, bringing exceptional dynamism to match stunning straight-line performance.”

Right now, we’ve only got this photo to go by. A full reveal of the Batur will take place at 8 p.m. PST on Saturday, August 20.
