END OF S.T.A.Y. is an automotive art studio that builds faithful 1:2 scale electric "Junior Cars" — half-scale tributes to iconic vehicles like the Porsche 964, the AE86, and the classic Land Rover Defender, built on real steel chassis with genuine rear-wheel drive. We treat every build as both a functional vehicle and a piece of automotive art.

Space, Time, Aloneness, Youth — the philosophy behind the brand. Automobiles are more than machines; they're symbols of freedom, memory, and the pursuit of speed and beauty. We preserve those emotions through design, craftsmanship, and experience.

We're originally founded in Shanghai, China, where custom builds are still produced today. We also operate a US distribution warehouse in Los Angeles, California, which stocks ready-to-ship inventory for faster delivery to North American customers.

Neither, exactly — they're a category of their own. Every panel, proportion, and design cue is carefully studied and recreated from the original vehicle at true 1:2 scale, with a real steel chassis, real rear-wheel drive, and genuine electric performance. They're built and driven like real vehicles, just at half scale.

Yes — we've been featured on Hagerty's "Capturing Car Culture with Larry Chen" and covered by automotive press including autoevolution, alongside a growing following among collectors, luxury garages, and motorsport fans worldwide.

Seven models across three categories:

• 964 Turbo Junior & 964 Cabriolet Junior — Porsche 964 tributes (MK5)
• AE86 Junior & NA Miata Junior — JDM icons
• Defender 90 Junior, Defender Junior (Series I) & Bronco Junior — off-road builds

They share the same steel chassis, rear-wheel-drive character, and all four power tiers. The Turbo is a closed coupe with the iconic whale-tail widebody look; the Cabriolet takes the same shape and opens up the cockpit for an open-top driving experience.

No — only the 964 Turbo Junior and 964 Cabriolet Junior offer all four power tiers (Standard, Performance, Ultimate, Dakar). The other five models each ship with a single Standard powertrain tuned specifically for that vehicle.

It's an 8-step process: choose your Model, then Power, Color, Interior, Wing, Wheels, and Extras, and finish with a full Review before submitting your request. Pricing updates live as you go, so you always see your running total.

Yes — the Color step offers both a Single Color mode and a Custom Livery mode, where you can describe your design, provide a paint code or hex value, and upload reference photos for our team to work from.

Yes — you can upload reference photos for custom livery, custom interior leather, and custom wheels directly in the configurator.

Use the custom options in each step — Custom Livery for paint, or the Custom slot under Wheels — to describe what you're after or upload a reference. Our team will follow up to confirm feasibility and any additional cost before production.

Yes — live chat is available directly on the site while you configure, staffed by real people who can help you choose a power tier, talk through livery ideas, or answer any question mid-build.

• Standard — 25kW, easy and predictable, ideal for first-time owners
• Performance — high-revving 25kW tune, race slick tires, sharper track-focused handling
• Ultimate — 33kW, the most powerful option in the lineup, track-focused with reinforced chassis
• Dakar — Performance-level power with adjustable 30–50mm raised suspension for gravel, dirt, and rally-style driving

New to these vehicles? Start with Standard. Want to push it on track? Go Performance. Want the most capable build available? Ultimate is the ceiling of the lineup. Want to take it off the pavement? Dakar's raised suspension is built for exactly that.

It depends on the model and power tier — up to 94 mph on the 964 Turbo/Cabriolet in Ultimate trim, down to around 25–47 mph on the single-tier models. Full specs are listed on each model's individual page.

Starting prices range from $7,500 (NA Miata Junior, Defender Junior) up to $8,800 (964 Turbo/Cabriolet, Defender 90, Bronco), before any power upgrades or extras. AE86 Junior starts at $8,000.

Your total is the selected power tier's price, plus any wheel upgrade, plus any extras you add — all shown live in the Build Summary as you configure.

Ready-to-Ship vehicles are already built and sitting in our Los Angeles warehouse — faster and cheaper to deliver. Custom Configured builds are made to order at our Shanghai facility over 5–8 weeks, then shipped internationally.

5–8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your configuration, before it's handed to the carrier for shipping.

Within the US, typically 5–10 business days total. Canada runs 7–12 business days. Outside North America, ready-to-ship units switch to the same international rates as custom builds.

Worldwide. Core coverage includes North America (USA & Canada), Europe (Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, UK, and Northern/Eastern Europe), the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain), Australia, and New Zealand.

Every vehicle — ready-to-ship or custom — includes a one-year limited warranty covering the battery system, electric motor, and Battery Management System (BMS) against manufacturing and component defects under normal use. It excludes damage from misuse, modification, accident, or other human error.

Note the damage with the carrier immediately, photograph the packaging and vehicle, and contact us within 48 hours of delivery. This is handled as a shipping claim, not a return, and there's no cost to you.

Via live chat on the site while you're browsing or building, by email, or by SMS — see the contact details at the bottom of this page.

Drivers from roughly 140cm to 190cm (about 4'7"–6'3") with adjustable seating to fit — genuinely designed to be enjoyed by both younger drivers and adults.

Several models include a Two-Key Safety Mode that caps speed at 12 mph until unlocked, along with a hydraulic handbrake for controlled slides. We'd always recommend supervision and appropriate safety gear for younger or first-time drivers regardless of the built-in speed cap.

This depends entirely on your local laws and where you intend to drive it — regulations for low-speed or off-road electric vehicles vary significantly by country, state, and even city, and whether it's driven on private property or public roads matters too. We're not able to give legal guidance here, so please check your local vehicle and traffic regulations before driving on any public road.

Depending on the model, standard features include a hydraulic handbrake, LED lighting, a sound simulation system, and — on select models — a Two-Key Safety Mode that limits top speed until manually unlocked.
