Bentley presents first production electric vehicle Torcal

The new vehicle became the British brand's fourth independent model line. The model received two electric motors, an 800-volt architecture, and a 113 kWh traction battery providing a range of up to 600 km under the WLTP cycle. At 400 kW fast-charging stations, replenishing the charge from 10 to 80% takes 16 minutes (according to iXBT.com, in less than 20 minutes). The manufacturer provides a warranty on the battery for 10 years or 160,000 kilometers of mileage.

The crossover is offered in two all-wheel-drive versions. The base modification develops 821 hp and 1,194 Nm, accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.3–3.4 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h. The Torcal S version with Launch Control delivers 888 hp and 1,350 Nm of torque, reaching a top speed of 260 km/h and accelerating to 100 km/h in 2.8–2.9 seconds. Instead of a traditional engine sound, engineers implemented a dynamic synthesized composition of percussion and string instruments.

The electric car was equipped with active suspension without traditional anti-roll bars and an all-wheel steering chassis with a turning radius of 11.1 meters. The luggage compartment capacity is 460 liters, with another 90 liters provided under the hood. Assembly of the model will be organized at the plant in the British town of Crewe. According to Hi-Tech Mail, production will start in the second quarter of 2027, and the base price in the UK will be 173,300 pounds sterling.
