For about $114,000, you can pick up an 85 percent scale replica of the famed Bentley Blower. Sure, this one uses an electric motor and only makes 20 horsepower, but it still delivers a driving experience you won't get anywhere else.
The Bentley Blower Junior EV is an OEM-sanctioned 85 percent replica built by England's Little Car Company.
Power comes from a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle.
In the U.K., the Blower Junior is classified as a quadricycle, and to adhere to those regulations, output is limited to 20 hp.
It'll top out before it reaches 50 mph (in the UK), but for a car of this size, that's mighty fast.
With a curb weight around 1200 pounds, there isn't a whole ton of acceleration once you've left the line.
Instead of the original model's cabel-operated drum brakes, the Blower Junior has a modern set of brake discs and motorcycle calipers.
Three modes dictate output: Comfort mode is limited to 3 horsepower and 20 mph, Bentley mode boosts power to 11 horses, and Sport unlocks the full 20-hp hullabaloo.
A 10.8-kWh, 48-volt battery provides the juice.
Charging speed is limited given the low voltage, with LCC estimating a three-to-five-hour wait from empty to full.
