The main novelty is represented by the brand new online configurator, allowing customers to create a personalised Bentley Blower Jnr: with thousands of possible combinations for interior and exterior colours, the configurator also offers the possibility of add hand painted numbers and national flags. Six themed packs are available, each celebrating Bentley’s rich history: for example, the ‘Blue Pack’ recalls Woolf Barnato’s historic race against the Blue Train, while the ‘Grey Pack’ pays homage to the Le Mans-winning Speed Six.
Ultra limited production
We recall that the Blower Jnr will be built in only 250 copies, bringing total production to 349 units following the success of the First Edition limited to 99 cars. A creation resulting from the collaboration between Hedley Studios and Bentley’s Heritage Collection, which saw the original 1929 Team Car used as a reference for the details. The Bentley Blower Jnr measures 3.7 metres in length and 1.5 metres in width, and stands out for its handcrafted design: it features a 48V electric powertrain with a 15 kW (20 hp) motorcapable of a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h) in the UK and EU, while in the USA it is limited to 25 mph (40 km/h). The expected range is around 105 kilometres, in a tandem seating configuration for two adults.
