London, 23 September 2026: British car maker Bentley Motors marked the arrival of its most powerful car ever built and first EV with a monumental celebration at 180 Studios in London's Strand. The evening brought together an eclectic guest list from film, fashion, art and design to raise a toast to a landmark moment in Bentley's history, revealing its highly anticipated new ‘Torcal’.

Guests included Simone Ashley, Jodie Turner Smith and Michelle Yeoh, alongside Mo Gilligan, Ashley Walters and Jodie Kidd and key Bentley figures and friends, who gathered for an evening of food, music and celebration centered around the unveiling of this highly anticipated new model.

Chef Florence Knight curated the evening's menu served with Billecart-Salmon Le Réserve, and soundtracking the night were two of London’s most distinctive music industry stars: Femi Koleoso, drummer and co-founder of Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective, fresh from the release of the band’s new album; and DJ, broadcaster and cultural curator Zezi Ifore, whose acclaimed NTS Radio show spans soul, jazz, funk and sounds from across the globe.

The setting reflected the spirit of the occasion, as 180 Studios has become one of London's most in-demand cultural venues and home to a community of more than 45 creative companies spanning fashion, art, music and design.
