Bentley Mulliner is completing the final stages of handcraftsmanship of 12 models of the exquisite Bentley Bacalar – the ultimate expression of two-seat, open-air luxury. Eight Bacalars that come in a unique color designed by their customers have been handed to their owners around the world, and the final four cars are currently in the last phases of preparation.
Bacalar features a roofless Barchetta design with all-new and highly muscular coachwork. Its carbon fibre body is finished in a bespoke color with no two cars being the same. The cars sit on unique 22” Tri-Finish wheels, with polished faces, dark grey satin spokes and accent highlights to complement the exterior.
Uniquely designed details and features in the cabin emphasise the coachbuilt character of the car, with an almost infinite number of ways for the 12 customers to express their personal taste and commission a unique interior. The Bacalars use sustainable, ethically-sourced materials. The car’s paint contains ash from rice husks, which provides a sustainable way of delivering a rich metallic finish, natural British wool and 5,000-year-old Riverwood sourced from the ancient Fenlands of East Anglia.
At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the finished Bacalars was handed over to its new owner by Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive, Adrian Hallmark. This Bacalar was finished in bespoke Sunset Orange, with customized tri-color 22” wheels in dark grey satin with polished faces and gloss black highlights providing a bold contrast to the vibrant exterior. The centres of the headlamps were color matched to the Sunset Orange bodywork. The hood vents provided a textural difference being finished in satin carbon fibre, as were the wing mirrors. Satin carbon fibre also gave additional definition to the ‘power humps’ behind the front seats – accented with Sunset Orange brightware – along with the side skirts and rear diffuser, complemented by exhaust finishers with gloss black outers and matte black inners.
A white and black cabin with Mandarin Orange accents creates a contemporary interior theme. A satin carbon fibre technical finish encapsulates the occupants, sweeping from one side of the cabin to the other, matching the exterior technical details harmoniously. Every panel and detail of the interior was specified to the customer’s choice, through careful combinations of leather and Alcantara in white, black and orange, gloss and satin metals in black, dark tint and bright chrome finishes, and the twin usage of both gloss and satin carbon fibre.
