Why We Picked It:

From 1924 to 1931, the Bugatti Type 35 dominated racetracks across Europe. It secured over 2,000 race victories in numerous Grand Prix races and championships.

Built with innovative aluminum components, the Type 35 tipped the scales at a featherweight of 1,700 pounds (compared to nearly 4,000 pounds for some rivals). This, combined with a smooth and powerful 2.0-liter straight-eight engine, gave it an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio.

While not the fastest car of its time, the Type 35 excelled in handling and reliability. Its innovative hollow front axle reduced unsprung weight, while cable-operated drum brakes and advanced suspension kept it glued to the track. The Type 35 also boasted advanced engineering, featuring a lightweight chassis, a distinctive horseshoe-shaped radiator, and innovative alloy wheels.

Its sleek, elongated body with a pointed rear was a feast for the eyes, showcasing Bugatti's commitment to form and function. The exposed radiator, a signature Bugatti design element, added a touch of raw power and personality.
