Vintage Bentley in the modern world

Share:

In the US, a new Bentley Blower Junior was presented at a retro car show. This is the first electric car in the history of this British brand, but he looks like an alien from the past.

Bentley, in collaboration with the Little Car Company, which previously gave the world electric Ferraris and even Bugatti, created Bentley Blower Junior. The electric car is a scaled down version of the 1929 Bentley 4 Liter Blower.

The Bentley electric car is exactly the same as the famous ancestor, but 15% smaller in size – 3.7 m in length and 1.5 m wide. It has a long hood and plenty of chrome trim. Since the new Bentley Blower Junior is very narrow, the passenger sits behind the driver, just like on a motorcycle. The dashboard is 1920s-inspired with a USB port and a battery indicator.

The electric car is equipped with a motor with a peak power of 20.5 hp. (15 kW) and is capable of accelerating to 72 km / h. The power reserve is 105 km. The leaf spring suspension is the same as the original Bentley Blower, but the front brakes are modern, disc.

Production of the Bentley Blower Junior will start in mid-2024. First, there will be 99 limited-edition First Edition cars, painted green racing Bentley Blowers.
