CREWE (August 17, 2026) – Bentley’s new partnership with Tutto Bene, in collaboration with LA’s Race Service and Italy’s BorromeodeSilva, delivered its inaugural event as part of Bentley’s leading presence at Monterey Car Week. “Stazione Remota,” held at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley, was a new celebration of automotive culture, welcoming not just Bentleys old and new but cars from across the automotive spectrum.

Accompanied by coffee from “Joe’s Bentayga,” a Bentley-espresso-bar hybrid developed in conjunction with Joe & The Juice, a food station, and music from a live DJ, 200 invited VIP guests gathered in the California sun to celebrate their mutual love of cars. Among a fleet of modern Bentleys, including the new Supersports and the Bentayga X concept car, was a 100-year-old standout—an original 1926 Super Sports, car #12 of the original 18—which provided passenger rides on the local roads. The car, known as “Smoky,” was lowered and raced extensively in the 1930s by legendary Bentley racer Kit Baker-Carr, and had its original 3-liter engine upgraded to the very 4½-liter engine that won Le Mans in 1928 to enhance its performance.

Stazione Remota was, however, just an appetizer. Bentley’s partnership with Tutto Bene now shifts focus to Italy, for the annual Tutto Bene hill climb event outside Milan. Bentley will attend Tutto Bene in 2026 for the first time as a lead partner, with a venerable toy box of cars from the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England.

Appearing on the hill climb will be two of the most exciting members of Bentley’s Heritage Collection. The “FULL SEND” Supersports, made famous through the gymkhana-style film with Travis Pastrana released earlier this year, will appear alongside the Pikes Peak Bentayga, which has previously set the Production SUV record at Pikes Peak. Driving one of the cars on the Tutto Bene hill will be automotive journalist and car culture personality Chris Harris.

Smoky—the 1926 Super Sports mentioned above—will also head to Tutto Bene, to be the guest of honor at an exclusive dinner on a private island ahead of the event. Joining Smoky at the event will be the Bentayga X off-road concept, and the Speed 8 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003.

“We are excited to introduce a new moment to Monterey Car Week with the launch of Stazione Remota, which we hope will become an annual gathering of enthusiasts from across car culture. Our attention now turns to Italy, and our inaugural patronage of the Tutto Bene hill climb event. Across the world, Bentley continues to expand its presence, relevance and support to car culture, and Tutto Bene is the next step on our journey.”
