Bentley will introduce a luxurious and faster electric car

Data about its design was not leaked either, although it is presumed that it will be a large sedan.

What was known is that it will be fast: it will go from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds.

In an interview with Automobile News Europe, Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark revealed some tidbits. The new model will have a power plant of 1,400 hp, and will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km per hour in just 1.5 seconds.

Hallmark explained that, far from being the only ones, these features are one of the great attributes of the emerging model: “Most people enjoy acceleration from 50 to 100 km/h, so that is where the first vehicle will shine. Bentley electric.

From Bentley they assured that the idea is to avoid dizziness and unpleasant sensations caused by sudden acceleration, and they said that the car will have a less aggressive mode, capable of accelerating in 2″70/100. The car would have a mechanism to regulate the intensity of the accelerations, so that it is the driver himself who inserts the mode he wants.

To give a frame of reference, the Tesla Model S Plaid is the fastest current production car model from 0 to 100 km/h, achieving that speed in 1″90/100, according to Automovile News. Outside of series production cars, the Rimac Nevera does so in 1″86/100. If the Bentley EV reaches the promised 1″50/100, it would become the fastest-accelerating car on the market.

Returning to the speculation of the design of the EV, although no details of the aesthetics that it will have were given, there is the hypothesis that this announcement is the continuation of the futuristic electric prototype that was exhibited in 2019, the Bentley EXP 100 GT Concept, a sedan that it was presented as the path of the brand in its transition to the future.

What has been revealed, apart from the superior speed, is that the price of the EV will be approximately 250,000 euros, and that production will begin in 2025. It will be manufactured in Crewe, England.
