Bentley To Have An All Electric Sports Car In Just 2 Years

The first all-electric Bentley, which could go into production in two years, will be a medium-sized sports car. It wil be the fifth model in the brand's line-up.

Bentley boss Wolfgang Durheimer has previously told Autocar that the decision for the fifth model was between a SUV to sit below the Bentayga or a two-seater electric sports car based on the EXP12 Speed 6e concept shown at this year’s Geneva.

So rebody an Audi or Porsche EV whatever and call it a Bentley. That is what is going to happen.

Bentley is becoming the new Oldsmobile.

Toronado, Riviera, Eldorado by another name.

MD is correct. It is very likely that there will be a Bentley version and an Audi version of the Mission E Porsche sedan. Not a huge logical leap for the VW group.

They'll just need to add some toothpaste blue trim to the grill and sides as is apparently required on every EV by any company other than Tesla.
