Driving Art: Hedley Studios Brings Exquisite Collectibles to Bal Harbour Shops

Miami’s most exclusive shopping destination is revving up for a high-octane showcase of luxury craftsmanship. Hedley Studios, the world’s premier artisan of precision-scale vintage automobiles, is set to host a week-long residency at the illustrious Bal Harbour Shops from February 11 to 17. This limited-edition exhibition marks a significant milestone in Bal Harbour’s 60th Anniversary celebration series, merging high fashion, fine art, and elite automotive culture in one striking display.

Hedley Studios is renowned for its meticulous recreation of legendary automobiles, working in exclusive partnership with Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, and Ferrari to craft hand-built, electric-powered scale models of historic racing and luxury vehicles. Now, for the first time, Miami’s discerning collectors and automotive aficionados can witness ten of Hedley’s most extraordinary creations up close in the Center Courtyard of Bal Harbour Shops.

Among the standout pieces in this rarefied collection are:

Aston Martin DB5 J – A Small But Mighty Classic

This 66% scale electric recreation of the legendary 1963 Aston Martin DB5 Cabriolet is a nod to one of the most revered automobiles in cinematic and racing history. The full-size version of this model famously graced the James Bond franchise, and this scaled-down, hand-crafted masterpiece captures its elegance and allure with uncompromising precision.

Aston Martin DB5 J “No Time to Die” Edition – Bond-Worthy Details

Taking inspiration from the 25th Bond film, this two-thirds scale special edition is a gadget-laden collector’s dream. Complete with a rear smoke screen, concealed gatling guns, and revolving digital license plates, it is a tribute to the espionage legacy of the DB5 while offering an electrified modern twist.

Ferrari Testa Rossa J – Racing Heritage, Redefined

Hedley’s 75% scale, fully electric homage to the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is an exceptionally rare collector’s piece. Displayed in three striking liveries—Giallo Triplo Strato, Rosso Corsa, and Argento Nurburgring—this tribute to Ferrari’s golden era of endurance racing is a must-see for connoisseurs of automotive history.

Bugatti Baby II – A Tribute to Grand Prix Glory

For those captivated by the golden age of French Grand Prix racing, the Bugatti Baby II offers a stunning reimagination of the 1924 Bugatti Type 35. Crafted at 75% scale, the Bugatti Baby II is an electric-powered homage to one of motorsport’s most dominant machines, featuring an authentic solid silver Bugatti Macaron emblem and finished in three distinct liveries: White with a Bugatti light blue stripe, French Racing Blue, and Italian Red.

As part of the exhibition, Bal Harbour Shops Access Members will receive an invitation to a private consultation in the Access Suite, where they can explore customization options and discuss ownership opportunities with a Hedley specialist.
