Bentley’s Black Rose Batur detailed with additively manufactured solid rose gold
March 20, 2025
Bentley Motors, headquartered in Crewe, United Kingdom, has revealed The Black Rose, a custom version of its limited-run coachbuilt Batur grand touring coupé. The car’s interior features a rose gold theme and includes several additively manufactured solid rose gold components.
The Black Rose is one of eighteen Baturs being built by Bentley’s bespoke Mulliner division, and results from an extensive co-creation journey between the client and Mulliner’s design team.
Bentley is using Additive Manufacturing to add up to 210 g of hallmarked 18-karat rose gold to the interior at key driver touchpoints, including the Drive Mode Selector and Bentley’s Organ Stop vent controls on the dashboard. There is also a rose gold insert marker on the steering wheel.
Bentley collaborated with Cooksongold, based in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter, to combine new and advanced manufacturing technologies with more traditional materials and finishing techniques. The manufacturers noted their use of sustainably sourced raw materials from 100% recycled jewellery reflects a commitment to sustainability that aligns with goals to be carbon-neutral by 2035.
