The collection includes two variants: the Torcal, emphasizing comfort and style, and the Torcal S, equipped with a more robust and quicker motor. The initial model, featuring an 810 hp engine, can attain speeds of 250 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The other model, featuring an 880 hp engine, achieves velocities of up to 260 km/h and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds.

Both models' batteries can recharge from 10% to 80% in just 16 minutes, providing a distance of 600 km on a complete charge. Both models utilize specialized speakers to replicate the engine noise of traditional gasoline-powered Bentleys. The company highlights that this feature not only preserves brand identity but also improves safety by allowing pedestrians to hear the oncoming electric vehicle.

The British factory in Crewe produces both models. The first shipments of the Torcal and Torcal S to Europe are planned for this year, with US sales set to start in 2027.
