The Bugatti Type 35 is one of the most successful and iconic racing cars of the 1920s. Developed by Ettore Bugatti starting in 1924 , it set new standards in design, technology, and racing performance. With its delicate, teardrop-shaped radiator grille, freestanding wheels, and elegant lines, the Type 35 is considered a masterpiece of automotive engineering. Under the hood, a lightweight, high-revving eight-cylinder engine delivered impressive performance. The Type 35 dominated international motorsports, particularly in hillclimbs and Grand Prix events, winning over 1,000 races —a record for its time. Today, it is considered the epitome of the pre-war racing car and a stylistic and technical work of art.
