The Bentley Torcal First Edition is the brand’s most potent electric SUV yet. Bentley has taken its first all-electric car and turned up the volume. According to a report by AUTOEXPRESS.CO.UK, this exclusive trim borrows heavily from Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division.
Bentley Torcal First Edition’s S Pedigree
Under the skin, the Bentley Torcal First Edition borrows its mechanical DNA from the S. Twin electric motors deliver 876 horsepower and 1,350Nm of torque. The 162 mph top speed matches its sibling, while launch control sharpens the launch. Rivals such as the Rolls-Royce electric SUV will need a strong answer.
Visually, the Carbon Fibre Styling Specification does the heavy lifting. Carbon winglets, mirror caps, side sills and the rear diffuser all switch to exposed weave. Unique 22-inch wheels, Graphene Grey brake calipers and First Edition front wing badging complete the look. Whether those winglets deliver measurable downforce remains unclear from the launch details.

Luxury Cabin Gets a Mulliner Makeover
Open the powered doors and a First Edition plate greets you on the sill. Wellness front seats arrive as standard, with extended massage for the legs, back and shoulders. Rear passengers gain ventilation and extra headrest padding. A 28-speaker Naim for Bentley system with Dolby Atmos completes the sensory experience.
Where Pricing Meets Prediction
Pricing for the standard Torcal starts just over £170,000. On paper, the First Edition will sit well above £200,000, pushing the Torcal firmly into premium territory. In reality, enthusiasts will chase the S-based output rather than the badge. Expect early examples to hold their value better than most electric rivals, because limited trims rarely depreciate quickly.
Bentley has delivered a bespoke, quick and well-equipped EV. Ultimately, this trim proves that electric luxury can still feel handmade. For more coverage, visit Auto News Magazine.
