Named after the dramatic El Torcal de Antequera rock formation in Spain, the new high-riding EV breaks from tradition with sharp, muscular styling, ultra-fast charging hardware, and staggering power figures that make it the fastest production Bentley in history.The Torcal is scheduled to arrive at North American dealerships early next year with an entry price expected under $230,000.Bentley Torcal: All The Details2028 Bentley Torcal: All The DetailsView GalleryAdvertisementAdvertisement42 photosProportions, Platform, and Porsche HardwareMeasuring 196.2 inches long with a 119.0-inch wheelbase, the Torcal is shorter and sits lower than a standard-wheelbase Bentayga. Underneath its hand-finished bodywork, the luxury SUV shares its underlying 800-volt Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture and 113-kWh battery pack (108-kWh usable) with the Porsche Cayenne Electric.Thanks to a maximum DC fast-charging capacity of 400 kW, the battery can charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 16 minutes. While official EPA figures have not yet been released, European WLTP estimates project a maximum driving range of roughly 375 miles per charge.The Torcal will launch in two dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configurations. The standard Torcal produces a combined 809 horsepower and 880 lb-ft of torque, pushing the SUV from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. The core model features bright chrome exterior trim and standard 21-inch wheels.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe range-topping Torcal S elevates performance to 875 horsepower and 995 lb-ft of torque using its launch control mode. Bentley estimates the Torcal S will spring to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, with top speed capped at 162 mph. The sport-oriented Torcal S replaces the shiny exterior trim with gloss-black accents, adding larger standard 22-inch wheels and a sportier visual stance.2028 bentley torcal debuts as brands first ev with 876 hpChassis technology adapted from Porsche includes active hydraulic body-roll compensation in place of mechanical anti-roll bars, paired with standard rear-axle steering for improved low-speed maneuverability.

The front end ditches Bentley's iconic quad-pod headlight setup in favor of single rectangular units. Up front sits an illuminated, diamond-pattern grille-inspired by the Continental T-while the rear features thin taillights framing the brand's newly redesigned badge.2028 bentley torcal debuts as brands first ev with 876 hpCrewe Craftsmanship Meets Modern Cabin TechInside, the cabin blends traditional luxury materials with modern interface tech.
