The Torcal introduces a bold new design language for Bentley, shaped by the in-house design team at Crewe. A long wheelbase, short overhangs and a proud front end give it a powerful, upright stance. The cabin tapers towards the rear, so the bodywork builds into muscular haunches over the rear wheels. The front end reinterprets the Continental T through advanced lighting and an illuminated diamond grille. The Torcal is also the first Bentley to wear the marque’s modernised emblem, and 21″ wheels come as standard.
Inside, a dashboard inspired by the Bentley wings leaves room for leather, wool, veneer and aluminium to breathe. Knurled controls and reimagined bullseye vents keep Bentley craftsmanship close at hand. The Torcal debuts the world’s first 100% Merino wool automotive fabric, woven with Somerset’s Fox Brothers, alongside Ombré Walnut and Sunburst Aluminium by Mulliner. The all-new seats offer 16-way adjustment, heating, ventilation and massage. The rear bench is the first in a Bentley to power-fold, and four Experience Modes tailor light, sound and climate to your mood.
The first all-electric Bentley delivers its performance in the time-honoured Bentley way: effortlessly. Twin permanent magnet motors produce 821 PS and 1,194 Nm, taking the Torcal from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and on to 155 mph. An 800V, 113 kWh battery gives up to 375 miles of WLTP range, and 400 kW charging adds 100 miles in around seven minutes. The Bentley Dynamic Symphony adds a soundtrack played on real instruments and inspired by the beat of the 6¾-litre V8, which gives the driver rich, intuitive feedback.
The four Experience Modes each serve a different purpose: Bentley Mode is the default, balancing comfort with driver engagement; Comfort Mode softens lighting and pace for relaxation, with an optional digital detox setting; Sport Mode sharpens sound and visual cues to heighten driver connection; and Refresh Mode, exclusive to the Torcal, boosts fresh-air circulation and brightness to combat fatigue and restore alertness. Together they represent a new philosophy of automotive luxury, one felt as much as seen or touched.
Fully active suspension appears on a Bentley for the first time. Paired with adaptive two-valve dampers, it can raise or lower each corner instantly, delivering a true ‘magic carpet’ ride without the need for anti-roll bars. All Wheel Steering is standard and cuts the turning circle to just 11.1 metres, which makes town driving easy. The result is a car as comfortable as a Flying Spur and as dynamic as a Continental GT Speed. A suite of 25 radars, sensors and cameras supports advanced driver assistance and parking.
