Bentley's inaugural electric vehicle, the Torcal, is on the horizon. The luxury brand has announced an official unveiling on September 23 in London.
The name 'Torcal' draws inspiration from El Torcal de Antequera in Spain, renowned for its stunning karst landscapes. The term originates from the Latin word 'torquere,' meaning to twist, a root that also leads to the modern term 'torque.'
According to Bentley, the name Torcal signifies "effortless progression." The company promises that this model will showcase “the unrivaled blend of craftsmanship and performance that has defined the brand since 1919.” The Torcal will join the ranks as the fourth Bentley model line, alongside the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Bentayga.
Bentley CEO Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser commented:
For 107 years, Bentleys have been the most incredibly complete cars - effortless performance, outstanding comfort, exquisite British handcraftsmanship using the best natural materials, and a soundtrack with soul. Our new Torcal sets extraordinary benchmarks in every area that matters and may just be the most considered car in our history.
