Bentley went electric but kept the sound of money burning

Bentley Torcal: First All-Electric Bentley Costs £173,000 and Plays Fake Engine Sounds

Bentley unveiled the Torcal, its first fully electric car, at a global debut and confirmed it will be built at the company's Crewe factory. Priced at around £173,000, the Torcal replaces the classic combustion growl with piped-in artificial engine sound. The Times called it Bentley's best car yet, while the debut drew attention for the fake-noise feature and the marque's move away from its V8 and W12 heritage.
