Bentley Goes Quiet: The Torcal Arrives Without a Drop of Gas

Bentley built its reputation on the sound and heft of a big engine, so an electric SUV from a 107-year-old marque is worth a second look. The Torcal, the brand's first zero-emissions model, is said to make nearly 876 horsepower and reach 60 mph in 2.8 seconds — numbers that would have been unthinkable from Crewe a decade ago. Around here, where a Bentayga is as common as a golf cart, the Torcal will be the one everyone's straining to hear pull into the club and hearing nothing at all.
