I’ve driven this miniature Porsche 550, and it’s exactly as fun as it looks
Little rebel: behind the wheel of Hedley Studios’ joyful miniature interpretation of the Porsche 550 Spyder
The British company Hedley Studios, also known as the Little Car Company, has crafted a miniature Porsche 550 Spyder, a hand-built, electrified interpretation of the famous roadster. As traffic congestion increases and drivers seek a more fitting vehicle for daily life, the demand for compact electric vehicles has risen. Hedley Studios, previously associated with producing miniature car replicas, has partnered with Porsche to create the 550 J, a 2.9m-long and 1.2m-wide scaled-down version of the original 550 Spyder.
The electric powertrain delivers 8kW (11 hp) in standard mode and 16kW (21 hp) with the optional RS Pack, allowing the car to reach a top speed of 40mph. Customers can personalize the interiors with various materials, including wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheels and three-dial instrument panels. The Hedley Studios 550 J, a pocket-sized Porsche, is not designed for everyday road use but serves as a whimsical and visually stunning representation of the iconic sports car.
