Showing just 119 miles on the odometer, this is the 12th of 12 2022 Bentley Bacalar Roadsters built by Mulliner for the entire world. It is finished in Mulliner Extended Range Veridian with satin bronze exterior brightwork including the radiator grille, exhaust and headlight surrounds, and it features the Carbon Fiber Pack that includes the bonnet vents, side moldings, mirror caps and power humps, creating a fantastically unique visual that’s sustained by the tri-color wheels with polished aluminum faces, dark gray satin inners and satin bronze highlights.
The Beluga interior is detailed extensively, the most obvious elements likely being the quilted-patterned leather upholstery accented with tweed—a material continued on the siding of the center console—and the satin carbon fiber upper fascia and door finish. Bespoke luggage has been crafted in Beluga leather and gray tweed with Beluga and bronze core piping, further reflecting the unique material and color usage, and Bacalar-branded welcome lights stand out among other specialized details. Active all-wheel drive provides exceptional grip for the twin-turbocharged 6.0L/650 HP W-12 engine and 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which moves the car effortlessly.
Named after Mexico’s Laguna Bacalar in the Yucatan Peninsula and drawing from the EXP 100 GT concept car, Bentely Bacalars are coachbuilt by Mulliner and represent the company’s return to coachbuilding after a lengthy hiatus from practice. The two-seater roadster slightly resembles but shares no body panels with the Bentley Continental GT convertible, except for the door handles. Instead, the Bacalar is a study in 3D printing technology, carbon fiber and aluminum construction, and a bold design presentation of chiseled edges tempered by elegant curves.
In keeping with the utmost in exclusivity, the interior features 5,000-year-old Riverwood veneers sourced from the ancient Fenlands of East Anglia, a coastal plains region of eastern England. The dark-tinted wood survived time by being preserved in peat bogs and is mirror-matched and separated into an open-pore top layer and high-gloss lower. British wool accompanies the Beluga leathers, all held together with more than 148,000 stitches, and anodized titanium and metallic dark bronze surfaces further accent the environment.
