    Bentley EV To Pack As Much as 1,400 HP And Hit 100 KM/H In 1.7 Seconds

    Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark recently sat down with Automotive News Europe where he indicated that their first EV could arrive around 2025 with as much as 1,400 hp.

    “If we’re 650 hp now with GT Speed, we will be double that with the BEV,” Hallmark told the publication. “But from a 0 to 60 mph point of view, there are diminishing returns. The problem is, it’s uncomfortable. And then it just becomes nauseous.”

    Hallmark suggested that the driver could adjust the level of acceleration to suit them. “You can have 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Or it can be switched to 1.5 seconds,” he said.

    This EV will ride on the PPE platform which will also be used for the Porsche Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-Tron.

    Styling-wise Hallmark mentioned that they will try their best for it not to look like a typical electric car.

    Considering the platform it will use and Hallmarks’ passion for SUVs then we are more than likely going to see a high-riding sedan of sorts.

    By 2030, Bentley intends to make only EVs, which means multiple models are on the way. “In terms of price point, one of the EVs will be more in that Mulsanne price range than anything that we have today. It has to be.” Hallmark added.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
