Actor, filmmaker, and all-around gearhead Jason Momoa has added another unusual machine to his collection. This time, it’s a highly personalized version of the Bentley Blower Jnr, the 85-percent-scale electric recreation of Bentley’s legendary 1929 supercharged racer. Created by British firm Hedley Studios in partnership with Bentley Motors, the tiny EV already stands out as one of the strangest vehicles on sale. Momoa apparently looked at it and decided it needed even more character.

The result is a one-of-one build featuring more than 100 bespoke or specially developed components. Finished in a unique shade called Momoa Crimson, the miniature Bentley also wears aged brass exterior detailing and a custom Koa wood dashboard. The craftsmanship here is aiming for an aged aesthetic more than a pristine museum-class finish.

Inside, it gets a “Momoa 1 of 1” plaque and perhaps the most Jason Momoa touch imaginable: a hand-carved brass skull gear selector. According to Hedley Studios, that skull alone required more than 100 hours of hand craftsmanship to complete. There’s also a custom “666” radiator badge. It sounds ominous, but the company says it’s actually a tribute to Momoa’s grandfather, who carried the nickname “El Diablo.”

The project is featured in the second season of HBO Max’s On The Roam, with Hedley Studios’ workshop appearing in an episode that premiered today. The series follows Momoa as he meets craftspeople, builders, and artisans across a range of industries, making the partnership a natural fit.

For those unfamiliar with the Blower Jnr, it’s a road-legal electric recreation of Bentley’s iconic 4½ Litre Supercharged racer. Power comes from a 20 hp (15 kW) electric motor, enough for a claimed range of 65 miles (105 km). Despite its toy-like proportions, it’s certified for road use in the U.K., Europe, and the United States. That said, don’t expect to see it on a highway anytime soon. These things can’t even reach 50 mph. Think of it less as a car and more as the world’s most extravagant beach-town cruiser.

Bentley’s customers cannot seem to get enough of the Bentayga, so the company in Crewe is expanding its SUV lineup with a second model. Expected to wear the Barnato name, in tribute to Woolf Barnato of Bentley Boys fame, the new model will slot in below the Bentayga and ditch combustion entirely.

While it remains to be seen how much demand Bentley will see for the new model in markets like the US, where EV sales have stagnated, it will certainly appeal to those seeking the most serene and comfortable driving experience. The use of electric power will also help Bentley lower its overall fleet emissions. Bentley is expected to reveal the new EV later this year, with customer deliveries reportedly beginning in 2027.

Spied here doing the rounds at the Nurburgring, this prototype is wearing the same camouflage we’ve seen on others. As such, key areas of the vehicle’s design remain hidden, though we can see the blacked-out lower grille.

Concept Looks

Earlier test cars used lighting designed to resemble the twin-headlamp setup of the Flying Spur and Bentayga, but this prototype is closer in style to the single-unit design of the Bentley Batur. The clusters also feature four separate LEDs, similar to the arrangement found on the Porsche Macan and Cayenne Electric.

It’s hard to say exactly what the grille will look like, though we expect it to be body-colored and used largely for visual effect rather than cooling duties. The design could take inspiration from last year’s EXP 15 concept. Cooling is instead handled by functional air intakes in the lower front bumper, while a radar sensor sits at the center of the fascia.

Porsche Power

We know the Barnato uses the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, as do other VW Group models, including the Cayenne Electric. Carscoops understands it’ll come equipped with a sizeable 113 kWh battery pack that supports DC fast charging, adding 100 miles (160 km) of range in under seven minutes.

Bentley is also expected to lean on the Porsche parts bin for its electric motors, with the Cayenne Electric the most likely donor. Output in the Porsche ranges from 402 hp at the entry point to 1,156 hp at the top, and the Crewe interpretation is tipped to offer more than 1,100 horsepower in its flagship forms.

The similarities to the Cayenne Electric will continue with the in-car technology. While these spy shots captured only a small portion of the interior, previous prototypes have shown that several tech components will be shared with Porsche, including a curved OLED central display running Android Automotive OS. Bentley is expected to give the cabin its own identity through more extensive use of leather, wood, and metal trim throughout.

It seems luxury car buyers can’t get enough of the Bentley Bentayga, so the British brand is working on a second SUV for its range. Tipped to be dubbed the Barnato, the new model will be smaller than its older sibling but, more importantly, all-electric.

While it remains to be seen how much demand Bentley will see for the new model in markets like the US, where EV sales have stagnated, it will certainly appeal to those seeking the most serene and comfortable driving experience. The use of electric power will also help Bentley lower its overall fleet emissions.

Spied here doing the rounds at the Nurburgring for the very first time, this prototype is adorned with all of the same camouflage that we’ve seen on others. As such, key areas of the vehicle’s design remain hidden, though we can see the blacked-out lower grille.

The headlights look to be temporary, although the upper LED strip is expected to be retained for the production model. It’s hard to say what the grille will look like, but we expect it to be body-colored and mostly used for decorative purposes, not for actually cooling the SUV. The grille could resemble that of last year’s EXP 15 concept.

Other important elements visible in this prototype include a large panoramic glass roof and a roofline sitting noticeably lower than the Bentayga.

It’s likely Bentley’s electric motors will also be borrowed from the Cayenne Electric. Power in the Porsche ranges from 402 hp to 1,156 hp, and the British alternative may offer similar figures.

The similarities to the Cayenne Electric will continue in the cabin. While these spy shots only captured a small part of the SUV’s cabin, previous ones have shown that many parts will be lifted from the Porsche, including the curved OLED central display running Android Automotive OS.

Later this year, Bentley will launch its very first EV. The new model, a mid-size SUV expected to be dubbed the Barnato, will slot below the Bentayga and arrive in the US in 2027. In addition to all the development of the vehicle itself, building an EV also prompted a rather unusual change at Bentley’s Crewe factory.

To get ready to start manufacturing the Barnato, Bentley has designed new workwear for those who’ll be working with electrostatically protected areas of the plant. According to Bentley, the new pieces of clothing include carbon fiber in their construction, not in an effort to reduce weight, but instead to dissipate static electricity.

The British automaker hasn’t mentioned working with external clothing suppliers for the new kit, but notes it focused on using specific materials and construction methods to reduce environmental impact. When the clothing is ready to be replaced, Bentley will recycle every single piece, which will then be repurposed into new items.

Several photos released by the company show workers posing in the new clothing. They may be smiling, but we suspect they were eager to actually get back to the job of building cars, not pretending to look busy for the camera.

A Bentley With VW Tech

Bentley’s second SUV is an important vehicle for the brand. It will launch at a time when EV sales are contracting in the United States, but rising in Europe, and it remains to be seen how receptive Bentley buyers will be to an electric SUV.

With that being said, the electric Rolls-Royce Spectre has established itself as their second-best-selling model after the Cullinan, meaning there’s a good chance those shopping for a Bentley will also appreciate the smoothness and quietness of an electric powertrain.

Underpinning the Barnato will be the same PPE platform as vehicles like the Audi A6 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, Porsche Macan Electric, and Cayenne Electric.
