Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix car, 1924

Ettore Bugatti undoubtedly belongs to the most inventive engineers in automotive history. One of his earliest creations, the so-called “Le Patron,” Bugatti Type 35, became a technical masterpiece.

It became a classic, a source of inspiration for many subsequent racing and sports cars.

Born in Milan on September 15, 1881, Ettore Bugatti already had a factory in Molsheim, Alsace, at a young age. Within a few years, everyone in the emerging automotive industry was talking about this “genius from Molsheim.”

For Ettore Bugatti, designing cars was a pursuit of perfection, striving for both beauty and functionality. In 1924, with the Type 35, he began an era characterized by Bugatti’s dominance for the next six or seven years. During this period, the Type 35 proved to be an everlasting winner on the motorsport scene, winning races like no other car before or since.

CMC wishes to pay tribute to the successes of the Type 35, as well as its technical and stylistic achievements. The replica we present features unparalleled details of the 1924 Type 35 version (without spare wheel). It is made from 926 parts and assembled with meticulous skill and craftsmanship to do justice to the famous Bugatti brand and its exceptional styling, represented by the iconic horseshoe grille.
