Bugatti Marks It’s 110th Anniversary With The Exclusive, High-Performance Baby II
Celebrating Bugatti’s 110th anniversary, the French car manufacturer, introduces the smallest member of its family, dubbed the Baby II. Limited to a mere 500 builds, this high-performance automobile represents a modern tribute to Italian-born designer and brand founder, Ettore Bugatti?s half-scale Type 35.
Bugatti Marks It’s 110th Anniversary With The Exclusive, High-Performance Baby II
Initially constructed in 1926 for his youngest son, Roland?s fourth birthday, the car which Ettore had intended to be a one-off present, soon became an official Bugatti vehicle, entering production and sold between 1927 and 1936. Cherished by Bugatti enthusiasts worldwide, today no collection is complete without a Baby. However, with only around 500 ever made, they have been the preserve of the lucky few.
Unlike the original, which was only suitable for the youngest drivers, the Baby II is a three-quarters-size replica of the Bugatti Type 35, accommodating both adult and children drivers. With the aim to enable enthusiasts from across generations to share the love of driving and of the classic marque of Bugatti, the Baby II thus features a rear-wheel-drive battery-powered electric powertrain, a removable lithium-ion battery pack, a limited slip differential, and regenerative braking.
Available in two selectable power modes, including a 1kW ?novice mode? with top speeds of 20km/h, and a 4kW ?expert mode? capable of accelerating to speeds of 45km/h, plus an optional ?speed key?...
