Miniature classic car-maker Hedley Studios revs up rescue deal
A company which makes miniaturised electric versions of classic cars has secured a rescue deal led by an American merchant banking group. Sky News understands that the future of Hedley Studios - formerly known as The Little Car Company - has been salvaged through a pre-pack administration deal. FRP Advisory is understood to have acted as administrator before selling the business to an entity controlled by Island Capital Group. Hedley Studios was founded in 2018, when luxury car-maker Bugatti approached Ben Hedley to see if he could recreate a 1920s Type 35 racing car at half-scale to mark its 110th anniversary. In a statement issued in response to an enquiry from Sky News, the company said it had built and delivered more than 500 vehicles to clients in more than 60 countries in the last 17 months. Hedley Studios manufactures its cars at three-quarters the size of the original model, with the resulting vehicles typically costing £75,000 or more. "We're thrilled to welcome Island Capital Group as a strategic partner in the next phase of Hedley Studios' growth," Mr Hedley said. "Its investment and belief in our vision mark a pivotal moment for the company as we accelerate our expansion and reach new global audiences. Hedley Studios makes its cars in partnership with a range of luxury manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Bentley and Ferrari. Andrew Farkas, founder, chairman and CEO of Island Capital, which initially backed Hedley Studios in 2023, said: "This latest investment is testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of Ben and his team in building a successful British luxury brand in a short period of time. "Automotive enthusiasts globally are increasingly keen to honour these historic icons, bringing them to new audiences in a new, fully electric way. "Our broader investment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Hedley Studios, reinforcing its position as a leader in the creation of luxury, driveable artworks, and Island Capital is excited to be part of that growth journey."

Meet Bugatti's Beautiful New One-Of-One Hypercar: Brouillard
Update: This story has been updated with live photos and video from The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. Even for a brand as prestigious as Bugatti , exclusivity is everything. For some buyers, owning one of 250 Tourbillons or one of 500 Chirons isn't good enough. Instead, the wealthiest of Bugatti's clientele want something only they can own, and the company is introducing a new program aimed squarely at those buyers. Dubbed Programme Solitaire, Bugatti's new one-of-one service builds atop the brand's coachbuilding roots. It allows Bugatti's wealthiest collectors to create something truly unique—and truly exclusive. Photo by: Bugatti Programme Solitaire is even more exclusive than Bugatti's Sur Mesure customization program, which the company officially announced in 2021. Rather than simply allowing clients to customize existing models, Programme Solitaire lets them create their own custom Bugs, virtually from the ground up. The brand's first one-of-one commission is the stunning supercar you see here: The Bugatti Brouillard. Built atop Bugatti's ubiquitous W-16 platform—borrowed from the Chiron and Mistral—the Brouillard features a carbon-fiber and aluminum chassis, a quad-turbocharged engine, and 1,578 horsepower The Brouillard is heavily inspired by the convertible Mistral. Horizontal LED lighting elements adorn the front end, while darkened accents line the front bumper. Familiar arrow-shaped LED taillights stretch across the rear, while an illuminated "BUGATTI" wordmark sits front and center. But arguably the prettiest piece on the back end is the stylish fixed ducktail spoiler. Unlike the Mistral, though, the Brouillard has a roof. The fixed glass panel creates an airier cabin experience, while the center spine design element that flows seamlessly from front to rear is visible from inside the car. Photo by: Bugatti Photo by: Bugatti Photo by: Bugatti The interior itself combines custom-woven fabrics in a tartan pattern with green-tinted carbon fiber accents and machined aluminum elements. Embroidered horse motifs cover the door panels and seat backs—a nod to Ettore Bugatti's beloved horse—while the seats are molded specifically to the driver's preference. Even the machined aluminum gear shifter includes a glass insert of a miniature horse. 'To make something look simple is actually incredibly complex. The design has to integrate all of the technological aspects needed, all of the thermodynamics and aerodynamics of a 1,578-hp hyper sports car, while also following a core ethos—established both by us and the client—that the Brouillard was imbued with dignity.' — Frank Heyl, Bugatti Design Director Of course, Bugatti doesn't list a price tag for this one-of-one custom hypercar. If we had to guess, north of $30 million is likely a safe place to start. The Brouillard is one of just two custom models the company plans to build annually as part of its new Programme Solitaire. You can see the Brouillard in person next week at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, in Carmel, California. The Latest From Bugatti The Bugatti Tourbillon Doesn't Have Real Speakers.

Bugatti's New Business Strategy: Become Even More Elitist
Bugatti, one of the most extreme high-end super-luxe automakers on Earth, is introducing a new car this week called Solitaire. It's fittingly named, as it will be the first of the brand's new 'ultra-exclusive program of one-of-one cars.' So forget assembly lines, we're going back to coachbuilding for kings and princes. There's no indication that Bugatti's existing lineup, which is also basically hand built, is being dissolved, but it looks like the French brand is going to start leaning a little harder into one-offs based on its announcement today. This is not a random pivot. Bugatti's been doing one-off treatments on its cars since its early days, and in fact, some of its most spectacular creations were the result of trying to outclass coachbuilders when the cottage industry for one-of-a-kind cars was thriving. The Type 57 SC Atlantic is an example of such a machine, dreamed up by Jean Bugatti to be art-on-wheels, as it's still rightfully considered to this day. As a middle-class road user myself, I find Bugatti's proclamation of creating not a car but a 'celebration of grace and elegance' a little eye-roll inducing. But as a lover of fine art and fanciful engineering, well, I can't deny that I'm excited to see what Bugatti's people will come up with. Without the limitations of mass production, there's a whole lot of room for designers and tuners to go hog wild. A return to coachbuilding (the classy way to describe one-off custom cars) makes sense for this moment in history, too, as we seem to be hurtling back towards Gilded Age economics with a small group of people amassing so much money that a regular base-model Bugatti just isn't going to cut it. Or, looking at it another way, there might soon be more of a market for a single $5,000,000 car than 10 $500,000 ones. We'll see what exactly Bugatti's cooking up, and get more details on the Solitaire, this Thursday, August 7. Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@
