If you’ve been looking for a scaled-down, fully functional classic to enjoy around your private estate, The Little Car Company — based in the United Kingdom — is a world leader in creating iconic, operational 75 percent scale replicas of historic automobiles.
One standout offering is the limited-edition Bugatti Baby II, a modern homage to the tiny working replica Ettore Bugatti built for his son in 1926. The Bugatti Baby II is an all-electric, meticulously reproduced miniature, created using a complete 3-D scan of an original French Grand Prix car. Through The Little Car Company’s configuration process, each vehicle can be personalized to suit the owner’s preferences.

“When you get behind the wheel of an iconic car, such as the Bugatti Baby II, it’s made all the much sweeter when you know your purchase has been personalized to your own specific, inimitable taste,” said Ben Hedley, CEO of The Little Car Company. “With the launch of our new configurator, the personalization process has become even more immersive, detailed and bespoke.”
Each Bugatti Baby II is completely hand-built and features a genuine solid silver Bugatti Macaron. Buyers can choose between Novice, Expert and Speed Key driving modes, and select from three model variants: Base, Vitesse and Pur Sang. All models come with rear-wheel drive, high-performance brakes, an electric powertrain and selectable driving modes to suit different skill levels and driving experiences.

“Our team has worked hard to ensure that customers can truly enjoy the process of choosing and designing their Bugatti Baby II,” Hedley added. “Our new AR configurator allows customers to preview and customize their car from the comfort of home or wherever they choose to view it in situ. We’ve created an end-to-end experience so owners gain as much pleasure from building their car as from driving it.”
If a Bugatti replica isn’t your preference, The Little Car Company also offers other scaled classics, including the Ferrari Testa Rossa J — a 75 percent scale version inspired by the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa — and the Aston Martin DB5 Junior. Production runs are limited: 500 Bugatti Baby IIs, 299 Ferrari Testa Rossa Js and 1,059 Aston Martin DB5 Juniors will be built, ensuring exclusivity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
