Bentley’s Blower is a legend, a symbol of automotive history, and now, almost 100 years after its original debut, it’s making a comeback. Well, sort of. Before you get too excited, let’s temper expectations, as this isn’t the full-throttle, 4.5-liter supercharged beast of yore.

Instead, the Blower Jnr is a more compact tribute to the original. And while it’s marketed by Bentley, it won’t actually be built by them. No, that honor goes to Hedley Studios, a British company better known for crafting miniature versions of classic cars.

Hedley Studios might not be a household name, but it’s not exactly new to this whole “tiny car” business. Formerly known as The Little Car Company, Hedley has built scaled-down versions of other iconic vehicles, like the Bugatti Baby II (a 75% scale Type 35) and the Ferrari Testa Rossa J (a 75% scale of the 250 Testa Rossa).

The Blower Jnr takes things a step further, with an 85% scale version of Bentley’s 1929 Blower, and unlike the company’s previous models, this one is fully road legal. Yes, you can legally drive it on the road, assuming you’re not expecting to tear through traffic at warp speed.

Whereas the original Blower had a 4.5-liter supercharged engine, the Blower Jnr rocks a 48-volt electric powertrain delivering a grand total of 20 hp. With this in mind, it’ll only hit 45 mph (72 km/h) in the UK and EU and has been limited to 25 mph (40 km/h) in the US. Hedley says the Blower Jnr can travel up to 65 miles (105 km) on a charge.

Production of the Blower Jnr is now underway, shortly after Bentley hosted a first-drive event for the car on the British island of Jersey, which just so happens to exclusively have 40 mph speed limits. The first deliveries will start later this year, and shoppers will be able to heavily customize their vehicle, ensuring it stands out from all others.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Blower Jnr is not its electric powertrain, but rather how well Hedley has replicated the design of the original. It features a painted steel frame, similar to the original, and also includes leaf springs and period-correct friction dampers. Additionally, the car has a hand-crafted aluminum hood. Other components are made from lightweight carbon fiber, but the car features an impregnated fabric similar to the original car from 1929.

Prices That Will Blow You Away

The price? Well, here’s where most of you will probably tap out. The Blower Jnr starts at around £90,000 or about $121,000 at current exchange rates. That’s high end sports car money for a scaled electric car that won’t go above 45 mph and lacks any modern tech features. Despite the hefty price tag, Hedley is expecting to sell all 349 units it plans to make.

While China’s major automakers continue pushing the EV envelope with advanced tech and compelling price tags, a different breed of smaller manufacturers is still playing dress-up. Among the growing crowd of micro-EVs that unapologetically borrow from luxury brands like Bugatti, Porsche, Aston Martin, and Maserati, one tiny outlier stands out. This pint-sized oddity doesn’t just mimic a Bentley, it also comes with a surprise under the hood: a range-extender powertrain.

At the front, it’s doing its best impression of a mini Bentley Bentayga, featuring a large mesh-style grille and a pair of round LED headlights. Move to the side or rear and the illusion fades a bit, with a shape that’s closer to a Smart. The tiny wheels and off-kilter proportions won’t have anyone second-guessing what it actually is, but it’s entertaining all the same.

What makes this vehicle a little more than just a visual gag is the inclusion of a small combustion engine that looks suspiciously like it was borrowed from a garden tool. In a video shared on Instagram by yaypan_lik, it can be seen sputtering to life and making more noise than a vehicle of this size probably should. That said, the engine isn’t connected to the wheels; it only works as a generator to feed the battery.

This setup means the car is still powered by a fully electric motor, which is far quieter and presumably more efficient than the gas-powered backup. The hybrid system makes practical sense in places with limited EV charging infrastructure. Fittingly, the clip was filmed in Uzbekistan, where plug-in access might be less reliable.

A Mini Bentley, A Micro Price Tag

According to the Instagram post, the car was priced at around $3,100 and apparently sold, although some commenters speculated the actual sale price may have been lower. A bit of digging shows that the faux Bentley is manufactured in Shandong, China, by Weihai Yilin New Energy Technology. Online listings show prices ranging from $2,500 to $3,100, consistent with the Uzbekistan post.

Measuring 3,850 mm (151.6 inches) in length, the Bentley doppelganger is technically a five-seater, although fitting that many adults inside would likely require some creative Tetris skills. Features include a digital cockpit, LED lights, a roof-mounted fan, heating, power windows, alloy wheels, and disc brakes on all four corners. There’s even a variant with a slightly tweaked exterior mimicking the front end of the Bentley Mulliner Batur, for those seeking an extra touch of fake exclusivity.

The electric motor is rated at 5 horsepower (3.5 kW), giving it a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). That puts it in the same performance bracket as heavy quadricycles like the Citroen Ami. As for the combustion engine, battery size, or range, those details are absent. But a full charge reportedly takes 8 to 10 hours.

Would You Buy It?

Of course, it’s not a real Bentley. It doesn’t drive like one, it doesn’t feel like one, and it definitely doesn’t come with the prestige. But for a few thousand dollars, it’s a bizarre, undeniably amusing way to get around the block. The real question is whether you’d choose this over a moped. And if your answer is yes, then maybe the tiny fake Bentley replica is doing something right.
