00:06Torcal is our first really new car for a long time now and it comes with new technology,
00:12new design language. It's really a blueprint on what we expect on future Bentley cars. It's
00:18maybe the most important car launch in our 107 year history. It's a complete new car and it's
00:24electric. It's a very significant milestone for us because it expands our range so we can offer
00:29now ice cars, hybrids but also fully electric cars. So Bentley has a fantastic heritage and we want to
00:36capture some of that DNA and heritage but of course make modern progressive design. Bringing
00:42four or five different elements in but of course focusing on a beautiful surfacing, clean design
00:47and a modern expression. But at the end of the day it has to be a Bentley. The use of
00:52the most advanced
00:52technology in our chassis system for Torcal gave us a great opportunity to really stretch the bandwidth
00:58in the performance of the car. We've been able to deliver a vehicle that's as comfortable as a
01:02flying spur in steady state conditions and as dynamic as a GT in dynamic conditions. So the
01:07opportunity to use the great technology that underpins this car really allows us to deliver
01:12a broad spectrum of performance in the car. We think the timing is now just perfect.
01:17EV technology has matured and it now fulfills Bentley standards but it's also a huge effort of upskilling,
01:23bringing in new technology and not looking backwards. We clearly have a plan for the future and we are
01:29very proud that we can build these cars with our skilled workforce in crew in the UK.
