Renowned British luxury automobile manufacturer, Bentley Motors, has teamed up with The Little Car Company to reintroduce its iconic Bentley Blower as a premium urban vehicle. This move is part of the Bentley brand’s Centenary Celebrations.
The new Bentley Blower, referred to as the ‘Blower Continuation Series,’ is a meticulously crafted, exquisite, and child-friendly version of the original 1920s racing car. It is a fully electric, two-thirds scale replica of the original Bentley Blower, combining vintage aesthetics with modern technology.
The Little Car Company, known for creating authentic and detailed scaled-down versions of classic cars, has worked closely with Bentley’s design and engineering teams. They extensively used 3D scanning and digital modelling of an original 1929 Team Car to ensure every aspect of the new Blower was as authentic as possible, from the aluminum frame to the leather seats.
The miniature Blower is powered by an electric powertrain, offering a range of up to 10-20 miles depending on driving conditions. It has a top speed of 12 mph, making it safe for younger drivers. The vehicle also features a working rear-wheel-drive system, functioning headlights, and horn.
This scaled-down model is available in the same traditional colours as the original Bentley Blower, including British Racing Green, allowing buyers to customise their car to their liking. Its dashboard instruments are crafted to mirror the original design, and the steering wheel and pedal layout are designed for easy handling by young drivers.
This project is not just a celebration of Bentley’s rich history, but also a nod towards the future, showcasing the potential of electric vehicles. It also highlights Bentley’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Ben Hedley, CEO of The Little Car Company, expressed his excitement about the collaboration. “The chance to bring a historic Bentley back to life for a new generation of fans is an exciting honour,” he said.
The Bentley Blower Continuation Series is now available to buy. However, only a limited number of these exclusive models will be produced, making it a unique collector’s item for car enthusiasts and Bentley aficionados.
This new release marks an exciting chapter in Bentley’s storied history, blending the charm of the past with the technology of the future. It promises to deliver an unrivalled driving experience for both young and old Bentley fans alike.
