Bentley has unveiled its first fully electric car after investing £350m to upgrade its factory in Cheshire.

The Torcal SUV will be built on a brand-new production line at the site, which has been the luxury carmaker's headquarters since 1946.

Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the investment would "support 4,000 high-value local jobs in Crewe".

The company said the Torcal S model would also be its most powerful car yet with a top speed of 162mph, and the fastest-accelerating from standstill, reaching 60mph in 2.8 seconds.
