Bentley introduced its first electric car

On September 23, Bentley unveiled its first all-electric car lineup. The line was named Torcal in honor of the national park in Spain Torcal de Antequera.

There are two models in the range - the Torcal, which focuses on comfort and design, and the Torcal S - with a more powerful and faster engine. The first model with an engine capacity of 810 l / s can reach speeds of up to 250 km / h and accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds. The second with an engine of 880 l / s - up to 260 km / h, acceleration to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds.

Both models charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes. The power reserve with a full charge is 600 km. Both models with the help of special speakers reproduce the sound of the engine of classic Bentley gasoline cars. The company notes that this is done not only for the sake of image, but also for safety reasons, so that pedestrians hear the sound of an approaching electric car.

Both models are produced at the British plant in Crewe. The first deliveries of Torcal and Torcal S to the European market will be carried out this year. Sales in the US will begin in 2027.
