Drivers of the Bentley EV will be able to select a slower acceleration speed if the quicker setting makes them feel nauseous.
Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark indicates the brand’s first EV could have as much as 1,400 horsepower (1,044 kilowatts) when it arrives in 2025. This would allow for effortless acceleration.
“If we’re 650 hp now with GT Speed, we will be double that with the BEV,” Hallmark told Automotive News Europe. “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.”
