There are brands that seemed more reluctant to transition to electric mobilitybut little by little everyone is adapting to the new times and preparing for the arrival of new battery powered models. This is also the case with Bentley which will take “the plunge” in 2025 when its first electric car arrives. But, as in Bentley’s DNA, it will be a very special vehicle that intends to make a difference compared to other brands.
According to statements from the CEO of the brand, Adrian Hallmarkthis model it will have a power of 1,400 hp. Thanks to this incredible (for an EV car) power it will offer an acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h in just 1.5 seconds. Figures that will make it one of the fastest cars on the market. “This acceleration can be very impressive, but we want to make the car as comfortable as possible in this respect” dichiara Hallmark.
The electric Bentley will be developed on the PPE platform of Audi and Porsche
Therefore, although it will be able to perform this impressive acceleration, the electric Bentley will have a second driving mode that will increase the time to 2.7 seconds. Therefore, the driver who is not comfortable with the “turbo” thrust will be able to maintain greater control during acceleration. Bentley basically tries to make its new EV model as efficient as possible in the speed between 50-112km / h and 50-240km / h. These are in fact the ones that drivers of this electric model will use most frequently.
We know little more about this Bentley electric model. What is sure is that it will feature the platform Premium Performance Electric (PPE), developed by Audi and Porsche for the Volkswagen group. The external appearance will not show that it is an electric model. Bentley will try to offer a more traditional look, as close as possible to its unmistakable design.
