The Bugatti that started it all!
While Bugatti now carries a name tied to record-breaking performance and multi-million dollar hypercars, founder Ettore Bugatti began his humble start with one four-wheel creation that sparked an evolution, the Type 35. Back in 1924, when Ettore Bugatti unleashed the Type 35 to the automotive world, little did he know it would become a racing legend with more than 2,500 victories. But even with the continuous success, Ettore constantly pushed the boundaries of the Type 35 to deliver unmatched performance. Equipped with an eight-cylinder engine, the Type 35 initially packed a whopping 88 horsepower. Ettore envisioned even greater speed and efficiency. Enter the innovative Roots-type supercharger, a game-changing collaboration with engineer Edmond Moglia. Bugatti designed an innovative three-rotor configuration, setting a new standard for forced induction systems.
The evolution didn’t stop there. Bugatti’s relentless pursuit of perfection led to the birth of the Type 35B, boasting up to 128 horsepower and a blistering top speed of over 150 mph. With meticulous attention to detail, Bugatti fine-tuned every aspect, from suspension to combustion systems, leaving no stone unturned. Fast forward to today, and Bugatti’s dedication remains persistent with each hypercar handcrafted at the Molsheim Atelier. From the Veyron to the Chiron, each model’s DNA embodies the same passion that Ettore Bugatti instilled in the Type 35 a century ago. As Bugatti continues to push the boundaries of automotive innovation, the legacy of the Type 35 lives on, inspiring generations of enthusiasts and engineers.
