Bentley’s First EV Will Be Its Quickest Car. But It Doesn’t Matter

  • The Torcal will be Bentley’s quickest, most powerful car, but its output will remain below 1,000 hp.
  • It shares its 800-volt platform, 113-kWh battery—and possibly more—with the Porsche Cayenne Electric.
  • Bentley says comfort and effortless power, not headline numbers, will distinguish the Torcal from its Porsche sibling.

Bentleys have traditionally felt understressed with ample performance in reserve thanks to their powerful engines. As Bentley moves into the electric age, it wants to imbue its EVs with the same kind of character. In fact, electric power may suit Bentley’s character even better than combustion both in terms of effortlessness and outright performance.
