Bentley's first electric car will cost half as much as Ferrari's Luce

Bentley has launched its first electric car, the SUV Torcal, priced at £173,300 with a range of up to 600 km. The vehicle is aimed at attracting younger customers and first-time buyers of the luxury brand. The Torcal is Bentley's fourth model and most affordable, with its design and driving experience described as "pure Bentley" by CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser.

The launch comes as Bentley faces a slowdown in demand in China and increased competition from rivals, including Ferrari's Luce, which was launched in May with a price tag of €550,000.
