Models

Only a few examples of each of Ettore Bugatti’s vehicles were ever produced, the most famous being the Type 35 Grand Prix cars, the “Royale“, the Type 57 “Atlantic” and the Type 55 sports car.

Throughout the production run of approximately 7,900 cars (of which about 2,000 still exist), each Bugatti model was designated with the prefix T for Type, which referred to the chassis and drive train.
