Hedley Studios’ Mini Ferrari Testa Rossa J Brings Luxury Auto Art to Private Island

Hedley Studios, designers of drivable automotive fine art, has partnered with Waldorf Astoria’s private Maldivian island, Ithaafushi, to display its Ferrari Testa Rossa J. Combining luxury automotive art with one of the world’s leading and most exclusive destinations, Hedley Studios will be displaying the Ferrari Testa Rossa J at Ithaafushi for one year, with guests and visitors able to experience and purchase the scaled electrified icon.

Ithaafushi, the private island by Waldorf Astoria, is a private residence known for its luxury and elegance. The largest private island in the Maldives, spanning over 344,000 square-feet, Ithaafushi can accommodate 24 guests.

The partnership between Hedley Studios and Ithaafushi will see a bespoke Ferrari Testa Rossa J placed on permanent display on the island, with guests able to get behind the wheel of the scaled, electrified icon to navigate their way around. A 75% scale reimagining of Ferrari’s legendary, Le Mans winning 250 Testa Rossa, the Testa Rossa J combines the craftsmanship of Hedley Studios with the prestige of one of the world’s most famous and successful brands, Ferrari.

“The Ferrari Testa Rossa J is undoubtedly a uniquely exciting piece of automotive art, and what better way to celebrate it than to see it driven in one of the world’s most beautiful and exclusive destinations.  By partnering with Waldorf Astoria and their team at Ithaafushi, we have been able to combine luxury automotive artwork with the ultimate luxury hospitality and wellness destination,” said Ben Hedley, founder & CEO of Hedley Studios. “Our team of craftspeople spend over 300 hours hand-beating the aluminum body of the Ferrari Testa Rossa J; a demonstration of skill, precision and artistic appreciation, and to see the result of this craft placed in a location as undeniably beautiful as Ithaafushi will be an awe-inspiring experience for guests at the island.”

Guests can buy their own Ferrari Testa Rossa J

As the only vehicle on the island, the Ferrari Testa Rossa J will be available exclusively for private island guests to test drive during their stay. Guests also can custom-order their own Ferrari Testa Rossa J as a memorable addition to their time on Ithaafushi.

“Our guests are able to experience a level of private luxury, wellness and relaxation unlike much else in the world, and by partnering with Hedley Studios for a year-long display of the wonderful Ferrari Testa Rossa J, we will only be elevating this experience further,” said TJ Joulak, general manager of Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.
