During a tour of the Bently Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, we were able to test drive and experience the road-legal, 85% scaled Bently Blower Jr built by Hedley Studios. It is a recreation of the famed 1929 Bentley Blower racecar. The classic artisan-crafted carbon fiber body (aluminum hood) gets going from an all-electric 48-volt powertrain that is ready to roll once fully charged. Fashion editor Christina Holevas and I found the vehicle a joy to drive on the flat roads as the cool breeze took direct swipes at our faces while onlookers admired with curiosity.
As you can see, the Bentley spirit is kept alive through these limited-edition masterpieces, also customizable through the Mulliner program. Bentley’s footprint in the auto industry is defining, extraordinary, and memorable. The British automaker knows how to cater to the distinguished men and women who honor them with respect.
