Future Bentley EVs will offer double the power of existing W12 models, says boss Adrian Hallmark
On battery range, Hallmark claims his future Bentley EVs will have “two degrees of freedom” not available to mainstream models. They will have early access to sophisticated new battery technologies and their intrinsically higher prices will allow them to use the tech sooner than mainstream cars.
The five-strong post-2026-model Bentleys will consist of the cars we know now – Flying Spur, Bentayga, Continental GT and GTC – plus another model. Hallmark won’t give details . These earnings represent a 20.9% return on sales, a stellar performance for a car company and another record, although Hallmark brings things down to earth by pointing out that at last the company is making as much on every car as the government.
“Part of the reason for Beyond100 is existential,” the CEO explains. “If, for instance, we can claim zero carbon footprint – and our manufacturing processes already achieve that – we remove a potential threat. That’s also why we support the research into e-fuels and why we’re unwavering in our determination to have a fully carbon-neutral range of cars by 2030.”
“If we went racing, it would have to be global and full electric,” says Hallmark. “And it would need to be endurance racing, say four- or six-hour races, not Formula E.
