The Geneva International Motor Show might have been cancelled amid coronavirus concerns, but that's not stopping manufacturers from revealing their newest creations - ultra-luxury British carmaker Bentley included.
Bentley unveiled a limited-run grand tourer meant to debut at Geneva, the Bacalar, at its headquarters in Crewe, England on Tuesday. The car comes outfitted with a massively powerful 12-cylinder engine and features not found on other Bentleys, all for a reported price of about $2 million.
It also takes on the barchetta body style - a convertible without a top to put up and down, basically. That means while the Bacalar is built for high price points, it's not quite built for inclement weather.
In terms of special features, the Bacalar's dashboard is made from Riverwood - a rare wood that's been preserved in bogs, lakes, and rivers for 5,000 years - and each seat features a quilted pattern that requires close to 150,000 stitches.
Each Bacalar will be hand built according to specifications from its buyer. And as for buyers, there will only be 12 of them, since Bentley is capping production of the Bacalar at 12 cars.
