  "account": "Bentley has unveiled its first all-electric vehicle, the Torcal, in London. The SUV is set to go on sale in summer 2027, priced around €200,000. It features an 800-volt battery with up to 400 kW charging capacity, allowing for 200 km of range in 10 minutes. The Torcal will be available with two motor options, producing 821 PS or 888 PS, and reaching a top speed of 260 km/h. Bentley plans to continue producing conventionally powered vehicles alongside its electric models.",
  "summary": "As one of the last luxury brands, Bentley is now also going electric - and is outfitting the Porsche Cayenne for the occasion. The drive is new, but the ambiance remains typically Bentley. So does the price.",
