September: New Bentley EV, cool trucks and a genuine hot hatch

September was busy as ever and this month the focus was oncommercial vehicle design. Not usually the sexiest of topics, we were pleasantly surprised by some daring exterior treatments and a focus on health and wellness. Plus, a forgotten Chevrolet concept from the 1960s.

Bentley showed us the fully electric Torcal and we wereimpressed by its interior, Audi brought back the A2 (kind of) and we saw some interesting teases from Polestar and Jensen. Yes, Jensen. Plus, some people news with a big change at Volvo China.

Travel continued for the team including a short trip intocentral London for stage one of the People Awards judging, while Freddie went up north to rip the new Peugeot e-208 GTI around Scotland.

Lucy reflects on her visit to Italy with Alfa Romeo andJames reports back from the CDE Classic event at the Loh Collection.

The team looks ahead to our next live design discussion inDetroit, and to the Paris Motor Show where a huge number of concepts are expected. Beyond that, Freddie has bought an old Saab, Stanley the whippet makes his podcast debut and Lucy pines after a small runabout.
