Summary
Bentley said its first battery-electric vehicle will be called the Torcal, confirming the name of the brand’s fourth model line.
Torcal follows Bentley’s landmark-based naming pattern after Bentayga, Bacalar and Batur, drawing from El Torcal de Antequera in Spain.
The name also traces to the Latin “torquere,” a nod Bentley suggested fits an electrified powertrain’s high torque output.
Prototype sightings in the Arctic Circle in late 2025 and at the Nürburgring weeks ago had fueled speculation, including whether the car might instead wear the Barnato name.
