As well as electric replicas, Hedley Studios now sells scaled-down Ferrari bodywork as wall-mounted … More
Hedley Studios, the company best known for producing electric scale replicas of some of the world’s most beautiful cars, has now got into the sculpture business, with stunning results.
The British company has taken the aluminum body of its 75 percent scale Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa J (for Junior), finished it in bare, hand-formed and polished metal, and made it available for wall hanging.
The sculpture includes the full car body, along with Ferrari’s official prancing horse badges, front and rear lamp lenses, and hood straps. Just 19 examples will be produced, matching the number of so-called ‘Pontoon Fender’ versions of the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa race car of the late-1950s.
Made of hand-polished aluminum, the sculpture features genuine Ferrari badges, plus light lenses and … More
Hedley Studios suggests how the car body could be mounted on the wall of a garage, lounge or, my personal favorite, alongside the glassware of your home bar. Wherever you decide, you’ll need plenty of space, since the aluminum sculpture measures 122 inches long, 43 inches wide and about 28 inches tall.
The company says each body takes over 300 hours to create, with the metalwork shaped using traditional panel beating techniques. After that, the sculpture undergoes a two-week hand machining process to create the polished finish.
Hedley Studios is best known for producing electric scale replicas of cars like the Bugatti Type 35, Bentley Blower, and Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. I drove the latter in track-honed Pacco Gara specification back in 2023. Powered by a 19 horsepower motor, the miniature car has a top speed of over 50 mph, a leather interior, authentic wire wheels, and is priced from around $100,000 plus tax.
Limited to 19 examples, the sculpture is available to order from Hedley Studios in Bicester, … More
Ben Hedley, founder and CEO of Hedley Studios (formerly The Little Car Company), said of the sculpture, “The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is a car steeped in history and magic, and with our stunning wall sculpture, we’ve aimed to capture the spirit of the original icon’s creation.
“The legends of Maranello that masterminded and crafted the 250 Testa Rossa were meticulous and delicate in their technique, and our team of engineers have emulated this focus and dedication in their hours spent crafting our wonderful Testa Rossa J sculpture.”
The sculpture is priced at $91,000 plus tax and shipping from Hedley Studios’ headquarters in Bicester, England. For something truly unique, the company says bespoke customization options are available on request.
