“Signora” Junek at the Targa Florio route 🏎️💨⛰️

Eliška Junková was a Czechoslovak automobile racer. She is regarded as one of the most significant drivers in Grand Prix motor racing history, and was the first woman to win a Grand Prix event. By 1926, Junková was titled the Queen of the Steering Wheel. 👑 Physically and technically very challenging race Targa Florio (the “shield of Florio”) at which she participated in the seasons 1927 and 1928, belonged to the top of her career.

Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition: High-tech carbon and innovative design To accompany bespoke paintwork and individual design specifications, the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition incorporates numerous carbon features. Visible carbon elements grace the radiator and grille, dashboard panel, interior panels and mirror mount while the bespoke black wood steering wheel is finished with a carbon centre. A series of beautifully painted black components add an intricate depth to the visual finish of the Carbon Edition. The spare wheel, spare wheel bracket and straps have all been removed, to make the vehicle lighter. In honour of Bugatti’s home country, W16 Mistral¹ owners can have the side of their Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition carefully hand-painted with the French flag. The headlights of the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition are beautifully enclosed within a horizontal LED styling, a design tribute to the W16 Mistral’s headlights. Inside, each new Bugatti Baby II is adorned with a custom engraved internal panel, displaying the chassis number and model name. Unveiled in 2019, the limited-edition Bugatti Baby II (only 500 models) is a contemporary tribute to Ettore Bugatti’s original masterpiece, the Bugatti Baby, built in 1926. A 75 % scale version of the Bugatti Type 35, the vehicle was developed to celebrate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary and is significant in preserving the history of the Bugatti marque. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpF9gXrSuz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bugatti Type 35 A - 1926 by Perico001 Chassis n° 4801 Between 1924 and 1931 the Bugatti Type 35 (in various versions) won more than 1.000 car Grand Prix races all over the world. It's svelte body with the stylish horse shoe radiator grille set marks for "the GP car" for years to come. This un-blown Type 35A was built in 1926 and dispatched to Colonel Sorel in London. N° 4801 is one of just 139 un-blown Type 35A Bugatti's. To reduce costs, the engines were supplied with plain-bearing, rather than roller-bearing crankshafts and a coil ignition rather than a Bosch magneto. Wire wheels rather than alloy wheels were also used in the Type 35A production cars to keep production and maintenance costs down.

「Bugatti Baby II」源自於1926年品牌創辦人 Ettore 為愛子創製的一部1／2版 Type 35 迷你車「Bugatti Baby」，當時他將之冠以「Type 52」 正式名稱，並曾在市場發售，迄今仍偶爾可見於拍賣場。如今品牌重推的「Bugatti Baby II」則為年前紀念成立 110 周年的二代車款，其體積較初代稍放大，比例也提升至 Type 35 的75%，屬於後驅全電動車，車長2.8公尺、寬1公尺、重量230公斤。

至於價錢，「Baby II」堪稱品牌旗下「最便宜」車款，僅售3萬歐元（約港幣30萬）。據說，品牌公佈限量500台新車後已被極速預購。但有見銷情熱烈，官方呼籲買家「別放棄」及繼續排隊，因實際銷況或有變數。愛車的爸爸們，要留意了！

Who Needs Baby Yoda When You Can Have a Baby Bugatti II?

Way back in 1926, Bugatti Automobiles founder Ettore Bugatti gifted his 4-year-old son a unique birthday present: a half-scale version of Bugatti’s Type 35 race car, which won the Grand Prix World Championship in the very same year. The one-off kiddie car was nicknamed the Bugatti “Baby”, and Ettore’s VIP clients soon asked him to make one for their own children. Some 500 Bugatti Baby kid cars were built and sold by the time production ended in 1936, making them very rare and expensive collectibles for well-heeled Bugatti fanatics today. But now, you can buy a brand-new Bugatti Baby II kiddie car to go along with that Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport or Super Sport 300+ you have on order. Oh, to be a (wealthy) kid again.

Bugatti Baby II Prices and Specifications

Bugatti announced the new Bugatti Baby II kiddie car as a celebration of Bugatti Automobiles’ 110th anniversary at the 2019 Geneva auto show, alongside the $18.9-million La Voiture Noir. The French brand is producing the Baby II kiddie car with help from The Little Car Company, a maker of detailed children’s cars.

Three different models will be offered. In order of price, the $36,000 base model is said to have a “composite” body, 1.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and two drive modes: Novice, with 1.3-hp unlocked, is good for 12 mph; Expert will take a driver to 30 mph with its 5.4 hp. Step up to the $53,000 Vitesse version of the Bugatti Baby II, and you get carbon-fiber body panels, a larger 2.8-kWh battery, and a so-called Speed Key, which enables 13.4 hp from an upgraded motor—good enough for a 42-mph top speed and a 6.0-second sprint to 37 mph. The top-flight Pur Sang variant costs a whopping $71,400 and is perhaps closest to the ethos of the original Bugatti Baby. While it has the same upgraded powertrain from the Vitesse, its bodywork is rendered in hand-shaped aluminum using “traditional coachbuilding techniques” from the original Type 35 production run.

Bugatti says each Bugatti Baby II Pur Sang kiddie car requires more than 200 hours of high-value labor to produce. Given a fairly light driver and an even lighter right foot, buyers can expect up to a 31-mile range from the two upper trim Baby IIs, with the base model having a range of about 15 miles.

Bugatti Baby II: Bigger Is Better

The Baby II differs from the original vintage items by being substantially larger. While a 1926 Bugatti Baby was well suited for Ettore’s 4-year-old, it’s said that children much older than 8 would have a hard time fitting inside it. The Baby II is geared more toward adolescents, and Bugatti says even adults of a certain stature will have no problem climbing aboard. True to word, Bugatti’s chief test driver, Andy Wallace, worked to tune the Baby II’s chassis so that it more closely resembles the handling characteristics of an actual Type 35, just in miniature. Bugatti used a digital 3D-scanner to accurately capture the dimensions and proportions of a genuine vintage Type 35, adding such niceties as adjustable dampers and modern-compound Michelin tires.

Bugatti Baby II Fine Details

Similarly, the Bugatti Baby II kiddie car’s details—like the instruments reproduced from the classic Type 35—are modified to suit modern users. Where the fuel gauge once was, now sits a faithful-looking battery-charge meter. The steering wheel is a traditional four-spoke design, but it can be removed via quick release to make getting into the car easier for more fully grown drivers. The pedals are rendered in aluminum with the “EB” logo on each, just like a real Type 35, and the fuel-pump controller is reproduced aesthetically, but it functions as a drive selector. An engine-turned treatment on the naked aluminum dashboard, plus the Bugatti “Macaron” nose badge (made of solid silver as an exact three-quarter-scale replica of the same item on the Chiron) exhibit major attention to detail.

Bugatti Baby II Availability

Bugatti has a website where you can spec-out your very own Bugatti Baby II kiddie car, and play around with colors and trim levels. And while all 500 cars were apparently sold out shortly after the Geneva-show introduction, Bugatti now says the suddenly weak economy has wealthy early adopters dropping out of their production slots. So, there are allocations still available for the new Bugatti Baby II kiddie car, assuming you’ve mowed enough lawns and/or sold enough lemonade this summer to plunk down a deposit.

🧐 Automobiles Ettore Bugatti came to fame in the 1920s with the Bugatti Type 35, generally acknowledged as the most successful racing car 🏎 of all time🏆.

In 1926 Ettore and his son Jean decided to build a half-scale Type 35 for Ettore's youngest son, Roland, on the occasion of his 4th birthday. As a tribute to his artist 🎨 brother Rembrandt Bugatti who committed suicide in 1916, the pair also took his “Trained Elephant“ sculpture as the mascot for the most beautiful car in the world, the Bugatti Royale of 1926.

To celebrate Bugatti's 110th anniversary, the brand introduced the smallest member of the Bugatti family: The Baby II. A contemporary tribute to Ettore's 💯 masterpiece.
