The name draws from El Torcal de Antequera, a dramatic limestone landscape in Andalusia, Spain, continuing Bentley's tradition of naming vehicles after remarkable natural landmarks, as seen with the Bentayga, [Bacalar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulliner) and Batur. Torcal also traces its roots to the Latin word "torquere," meaning to twist — the same root as torque — reflecting the effortless performance that has defined Bentley since 1919. Chairman and CEO Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser described the new model as setting benchmarks in performance, comfort and craftsmanship, with a full reveal planned for London on September 23, 2026. Bentley shows how a name can build anticipation for a vehicle months before its unveiling while grounding modern engineering in a legacy of natural inspiration.
