Why it matters
The Bacalar relaunched coachbuilding at Bentley and returned the Mulliner name to bespoke bodywork. Limited to 12 individually specified barchettas, it is described as the rarest two-door Bentley of the modern era, and its cabin and headlamp designs fed directly into the later Mulliner Batur.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionrun of individually specified Barchettas | 121 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Revealed in 2020 as a roofless two-seat barchetta, the Bacalar took design cues from the EXP 100 GT concept and was named after Laguna Bacalar in Mexico. It shares no body panel with other Bentleys apart from the door handle of the Continental GT. The rear clamshell and top deck are aluminium and the doors and wings carbon fibre, and the interior used materials such as British wool and Fenland Riverwood. All 12 cars were allocated to customers before the reveal.
