Bentley has unveiled the all-new Torcal, its first fully electric model and the fourth model line in its range.

Designed, engineered and built in Crewe, the five-metre-long SUV will launch in core and S versions, with the latter producing up to 888PS and 1,350Nm of torque.

The Torcal S can accelerate from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 162mph, while the core model produces 821PS and 1,194Nm, reaching 60mph in 3.3 seconds.

Both use a pair of permanent magnet synchronous motors and a 113kWh battery, with Bentley claiming a range of up to 375 miles.

Charging at up to 400kW allows the battery to go from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, with around 100 miles of range added in seven minutes.

The Torcal joins Bentley’s existing internal combustion engine and hybrid models and represents what the manufacturer describes as a template for future models, regardless of powertrain.

Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, chairman and CEO of Bentley, said: “The Torcal is a Bentley first and foremost, created by hand by people who care, using the best available materials and technology to blend heritage with cutting-edge innovation. I believe this is one of the best Bentleys ever.”

Bentley has also introduced fully active suspension for the first time, alongside adaptive two-valve dampers and electronic all-wheel steering as standard. Rear-wheel steering of up to five degrees helps give the SUV an 11.1-metre turning circle.
