Car articles about Bugatti Type 46 by year
Although it was battered in rallies when it was young and then forgotten for 27 years, this Bugatti Type 44 has never been fully restored to this day. It proudly bears the marks that 94 years have left on it. Read the story of the only surviving Type 44 with sports bodywork by Gangloff.
In February 2013, Bonhams will be auctioning a particularly rare Bugatti at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Type 54 in which Achille Varzi raced at Monza in 1931. This racing car report tells the story of the nine Bugatti Type 54s built and shows the first one built in detail in the picture.
The Bugatti 35 and its modifications were among the most successful racing cars of all time. To replace it, Ettore Bugatti looked to America and quickly copied the engine block and valve train from the Miller racing cars. With success, as the Type 51 won several Grand Prix victories and was sold 40 times. This report not only summarizes the short history of the racing car, it also provides driving impressions and shows the car in many pictures.
The Bugatti T 57 Aérolithe is one of the most admired cars in history, but unfortunately the original has not survived. As a show car, however, it was on a par with the equally rare Atlantic model, of which three examples still exist. This report gives a brief overview of the two models and shows a faithful "recreation" of the Bugatti T 57 Aérolithe in many pictures.
