Overview
- Bentley revealed the Torcal on Wednesday, confirming a dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive layout in core and S trims, a 113 kWh battery on an 800‑volt architecture, WLTP range up to about 600 km, and up to 400 kW DC fast charging.
- The Torcal’s power outputs are published as roughly 821 PS for the core model and up to 888 PS for the S, with 0–60 mph times in the sub‑3‑second area and the S targeted as Bentley’s quickest production car.
- UK pricing starts at £173,000 and orders are open, with Bentley saying production will be carried out in Crewe on a new line that follows a roughly £350 million factory upgrade.
- Inside the Torcal Bentley highlights bespoke materials and sensory design, including multilayer walnut veneers, certified 100% Merino wool trims and a musician‑recorded ‘Bentley Dynamic Symphony’ soundscape instead of a synthetic engine note.
- The launch uses VW Group’s PPE hardware to speed development, but U.S. EPA range figures and market‑by‑market delivery timing remain unconfirmed, and the Torcal’s sales performance will shape Bentley’s wider EV strategy and local supply‑chain jobs.
