The Bentley Blower Jnr—compact, electric, and road-legal—enters production as a modern-day tribute to one of the Bentley’s most revered motorsport icons.
- In a world racing toward self-driving systems and flat-screens, Bentley has taken a different turn—one lined with rivets, leather, and nostalgia.
- Blower Jnr is an 85% scale, road-legal EV inspired by the 1929 Bentley Blower No. 2, is now officially in production.
- Just 99 First Editions will be built—and they’re already gone. But 250 more configurable cars are on the way and available to order.
A Rolling Tribute That Doesn’t Cut Corners
Built in collaboration with The Little Car Company and faithfully modeled after Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin’s original supercharged race car, the Blower Jnr has entered production with its pistons traded for power cells and so does its roar, but this is part of the charm, it whooshes past you. and still turns your head. With A 10.8-kWh battery mounted under the rear seats sends juice to an electric motor at the back, delivering up to 20 horsepower in Sport mode and a driving range of about 65 miles.
U.S. versions are classified as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), limited to 25 mph, while European models can reach up to 45 mph.
Driving the Blower Jnr

Small Scale, Big Character
Despite being scaled down, the Blower Jnr isn’t a novelty item. At 3.7 meters long, it seats two adults in tandem and features working headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a license plate mount. A rear luggage rack adds practicality, while the polished aluminum dashboard houses analog-style gauges adapted for EV metrics.
Drive modes labeled Comfort, Bentley, and Sport let you toggle between 3, 11, and 20 horsepower. A faux supercharger up front cleverly hides the charging port. It’s theatrical, but functional.
First Edition Finishes
The First Edition models come painted in classic Blower Green, with matching chassis rails and period-correct Union Jack graphics. First Edition badging appears on the hood, dash, and door sills, and each car features a numbered plaque marking it as “1 of 99.” These cars aren’t made unlike most commercially available modern vehicles , each Blower is hand-assembled in Bicester, England over several weeks.
