Bentley’s Torcal EV tries to balance authenticity with fake V8 sounds

Comments

1. Fractal Ronin: Fake V8 sounds just make this thing sound like every other 'luxury' EV - authenticity should mean something more than just not being a gas-guzzler
2. Jonasreyes: somehow they think adding an insult to a real engine makes it less fake
3. Aria: seems like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too - want the eco cred of an ev but also cater to v8 purists
4. Felix: Reminds me of those 'muscle cars' in Gran Turismo back in the day 💨
5. Fathom Echo: I've never been a fan of sound effects designed to mimic traditional engines in EVs - too gimmicky
6. Elinvasquez: seems like someone finally figured out that fake V8 sounds aren't fooling anyone. what's next, digital exhaust notes to make the experience even more convincing?
7. Cleo: It's nice they're acknowledging authenticity, but trying to fake it just doesn't cut it. Do you actually have any electric-only models? Or are we still pretending that zero
8. Fractal Signal: what a weird compromise - can't they just make a V8 or not have one instead?
9. Nova: I'm more interested in hearing about how the fake V8 sounds hold up when you're actually on the move, not just idling. Does it get disorienting having that
10. Omar: i'll take one of these over the Spectre any day just for the sounds, what's wrong with being loud and proud?
11. Halcyon Jackal: Bentley really thinks we're stupid. That fake V8 sound is laughable
