The first electric could derive from the Bentley EXP 100 GT Concept, presented in 2019.
Cars are the fastest and hottest on the planet. In some cases, both characteristics coincide. But it doesn’t always happen. In fact, the one with the top speed record, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, reached 490.48 kilometers per hour, although it is not among the ten fastest accelerators. In that category, the one that arrives before the others from 0 to 100 km / h, there is a group of dominants who reach it in less than two seconds. But that kingdom is in check with the announcement that Bentley just made.
It will be the first electric model that the British luxury brand plans to launch on the market in 2025. In this case it will be a hypercar that will combine power, maximum performance and the characteristic luxury of this company that competes hand in hand with Rolls Royce in the very high range domain. And the company’s top authority has provided key information.
In Bentley they anticipated the power of their first electric just when Rolls-Royce presented the second unit of the Boat Tail, the most expensive car in the world, for which they pay 23 million euros, but its V12 petrol engine reaches the 600 horsepower and stands out for being a racing vehicle that has a refrigerator and even an umbrella for a picnic.
They anticipate the hottest Bentley
Bentley has begun to disclose information about the model that will be launched in 2025. In an interview with a European specialist media, the company’s CEO Adrian Hallmark revealed that the electric model they are developing It has a 1,400 hp power unit and its acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h will be in just 1.5 seconds..
Symbols of the current maximum speed: Bugatti Chirón and Rimac Refrigerator.
If it meets the manager’s expectations, this Bentley product would become the most powerful of the 100% electric. For example, and to contextualize a bit, the Tesla Model S Plaid, which is the fastest production example today, “takes” 1.9 seconds to reach 100 km / h. Likewise, and leaving the serial models, the brand new Rimac Refrigerator takes 1.8 seconds to reach that speed.
A single-seater of Formula 1 is able to complete from 0 to 100 in 2.5 seconds and even less, going from 0 to 200 in about 5 seconds and from 0 to 300 in just over 10 seconds.
The EXP 100 GT Concept prototype was electric.
The Bugatti Chiron does it in 2.5 seconds. The imposing W16 engine that took it to almost 500 km / h is not enough to have the level of spiciness of the advanced avant-garde, the electric one. Plug-in, in fact, the members of the podium: the electric Pininfarina Batista (2 seconds), Tesla Model S Plaid (1.9) and Rimac Nevera (1.85) and the hybrid Koenigsegg Gemera (1.9).
What Bentley envisions is simply fantastic. Based on the data reported by the company’s CEO, the process for the arrival of the brand’s first 100% electric vehicle is progressing by leaps and bounds. First it worked on conventional hybrids, then it switched to plug-in hybrids and in 2025 it will show its 100% electric, which still does not have a precise name.
Tesla Model S throw
Some rumors indicate that they would be a Gran Turismo with a design similar to that proposed by the Bentley EXP 100 GT Concept, although others still give it the option of being an SUV. Going on with the details of the model, Hallmark ensured that these characteristics are not the only ones where it will stand out, but it will also have an unmatched pickup with another similar vehicle on the market: “Most people enjoy acceleration from 50 at 100 km / h, that’s where Bentley’s first electric vehicle will shine. “
But apparently not all will be excessive power, but the automaker has thought of quieter users and that is why it will equip the sports car with a lower power mode of operation that will do it from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2 , 7 seconds.
This could be the first electric Bentley.
The only detail reported by the brand on its mechanics is that it will be 100% electric, but it has not announced how it will form. Neither do I reveal its autonomy or the batteries it will use, but it is known that its traction will be all-wheel.
The new Bentley is already in full preparation for its arrival on the market. Its production will start in 2025 in Crewe (England) and then start being marketed in several countries. Its price? It is not yet official but of the brand They assure that it will be around 250,000 euros.
