Spettacolo
Hedley Studios to bring automotive art to the Cannes Film Festival with pop-up showroom on Vieux Port de Cannes Marina
All four Hedley Studios pieces will feature in the pop-up showroom, with the brand's road-legal Bentley Blower Jnr on display. A wonderful testament to the original 1929 Bentley Blower, this reimagination of a British racing legend has been designed and handcrafted by the Hedley Studios artisans to bring the automotive icon to a new generation. Built to 85% scale and fully electric, the Bentley Blower Jnr will provide a remarkably elegant mode of transport on "La Croisette" and around the picturesque French Riviera.
Three additional Hedley Studios pieces will be on display at the pop-up showroom. Among them is the Ferrari Testa Rossa J - a 75% scale tribute to the Italian marque's legendary, Le Mans-winning 1957 250 Testa Rossa. This historically accurate recreation of the motorsport icon is the result of over 300 hours of meticulous design and traditional handcrafting by the Hedley team.
Bringing a slice of cinematic style and excitement to the pop-up will be the Aston Martin DB5 J 'No Time to Die Edition'. A 66% scale and electrified recreation of James Bond's synonymous car, the DB5 J 'No Time to Die Edition' pays homage to the unparalleled style and thrill of one of film history's greatest automotive stars. Complete with all the gadgets that adorned the DB5 driven by Daniel Craig in the 2021 film, including miniguns, cycling digital number plates and smokescreen, the DB5 Junior 'No Time to Die Edition' brings a cinematic and automotive legend to life.
Completing the Hedley Studios collection on display in Cannes will be Hedley Studios' very first piece of automotive art, the Bugatti Baby II. A celebration of a French icon, the Bugatti Type 35, this 75% reimagination reflects a unique combination of craftsmanship and automotive history. The Bugatti Baby II has been developed as a true testament to its iconic original, with Hedley Studios' engineers and designers utilising 3D scans of the 1924 Grand Prix car to ensure historic accuracy.
