James Kelly didn't grow up knowing he wanted to be a writer, but once he fell into the whacky world of automotive journalism, he hasn't wanted to leave. In college, he found ways to make every paper he wrote related to automobiles and even hosted a show on the campus radio station called "The Engine Block. " James's experience involves road-testing brand new cars, breaking old cars, and everything in between.
By 2030, Bentley plans to be carbon-neutral. It wants to electrify its entire lineup by the end of this decade and do away with all combustion whatsoever from its vehicles. It’s on track to do so, too, with the new Torcal and its 800V electric powertrain. Gone is the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 from all models, and V8s can only be had with the help of hybrid assistance. The Batur, however, tore up all the new rules previously written for the future. It’s Bentley’s wild child, ripping down the hall for one last hurrah before being expelled from the factory at Crewe. The very last of those W12s have a home in Mulliner's Batur, Bentley's bespoke division that takes existing models and raises the price, but not without cause.
