Last year, Bentley announced it would start a special model line of just 18 cars. Called the Batur, each would use the chassis of a Continental GT Speed and emerge from Bentley’s Mulliner coachbuilding house with a new body, an interior that’s custom-designed to a buyer’s preferences and an engine enhanced with performance upgrades. For such exclusivity, Bentley set a starting price of £1.65 million ($2.11 million).

So when I arrive at the automaker’s headquarters in Crewe, England, to drive the Batur, I need to learn what that amount of cash gets you. Surely, it’s more than bonus embroidery or additional power over the Continental.
