Just weeks after the Torcal was revealed to the world, Bentley is beginning to share the extraordinary development story hidden beneath the camouflage. Behind the launch of Bentley's first electric vehicle lies a global programme of research, innovation, development and validation, with prototype and pre-series vehicles collectively completing over 1,000,000 kilometres of testing in some of the world's most demanding environments.
Tested across the extremes of the natural world, the Torcal has been challenged in temperatures ranging from -38°C in Sweden's frozen landscapes to over 40°C in desert heat, while conquering altitudes from sea level to more than 14,000 ft at Pikes Peak in Colorado. Combined with the unique demands of global markets, this exhaustive development programme ensures Torcal delivers the uncompromising refinement, exceptional craftsmanship and effortless performance expected of a Bentley. Along the way, engineers have also embraced new technologies, pioneering processes and one of the most sophisticated electrical development programmes in the company's history.
