Electric Bentley Blower JNR 2025 - Full Tech Specs and Performance


via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rnzlD3O2L8

The 2025 Bentley Blower Jnr is an 85% scale, road-legal electric recreation of the iconic 1929 Bentley Blower, developed by Bentley Motors in collaboration with The Little Car Company under its Hedley Studios brand.

This modern reinterpretation retains the classic design language of the original 4½ Litre Supercharged Bentley while integrating a fully electric drivetrain. The vehicle measures 3.72 meters in length, 1.48 meters in width, and 1.27 meters in height, with a total weight of 550 kilograms.

The powertrain consists of a 15-kilowatt (20 bhp) electric motor powered by a 10.8-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, providing a top speed of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour) in the UK and EU. Due to local regulations, the top speed is limited to 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers per hour) in the USA. The estimated range is up to 65 miles (approximately 105 kilometers) on a full charge, depending on driving conditions.

The Blower Jnr features a 48-volt electrical system and offers three selectable driving modes: Comfort (2 kW), Bentley (8 kW), and Sport (15 kW), each offering different throttle responses and performance characteristics. Charging is completed via a Type 1 or Type 2 connector, with a full charge time of approximately 3 to 5 hours using a standard AC charger.

The car is configured in a tandem two-seat arrangement and includes functional period-style instrumentation alongside modern safety features such as seat belts, indicators, and LED lighting. The steering wheel and dashboard layout closely replicate the original 1929 model, with materials including aluminum and leather used throughout the interior to reflect Bentley’s craftsmanship standards.

Production is limited to 349 units, and each vehicle will be built by hand at The Little Car Company’s workshop in the UK. Pricing for the Bentley Blower Jnr starts at 90.000 British pounds.
