A more powerful Torcal S variant offers 875 hp (653 kW) and 995 lb-ft (1,350 Nm), reaching 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and having a top speed of 162 mph (260 km/h).
Driving Dynamics and Customer Familiarity
Despite being a heavier vehicle, the Torcal's suspension and drive modes have been calibrated to provide a familiar experience for existing Bentley customers. This includes specific pedal calibrations and steering response rates. The vehicle also features active ride suspension, which allows for both ride comfort similar to a Flying Spur and dynamic capabilities comparable to a GT, according to Martin Page, product line director for the Torcal.
