Bugatti, means a luxurious car for those who enjoy the finer tastes in life, price starts at Rs.19.21 crore for the cheapest car Chiron and goes up to Rs. 41.00 crore for the top model Bugatti Divo.
Bugatti recently participated in the GP Ice Race that took place this year after over 60 years after its maiden debut. A Bugatti Type 51 and a Bugatti Baby II – based on Type 35 – were the first Bugattis to take part in the event since 1960. This year’s ice race named ICEolated was organised in Zell am See, Austria and it did not include spectators due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The luxury automaker shared the Bugatti Baby II that was created by The Little Car Company was introduced as the ‘safety car’ for the event, despite its smaller than usual scale. The former was based on the Bugatti Type 35 which the company regards as the most successful racing car of all time. The vehicle appeared as a specially-commissioned ‘Ice Spec’ form.
Bugatti shared all versions of its Baby II model have a fully electric powertrain, high-performance hydraulic brakes and selectable driving modes. It offers rear-wheel drive to the user, added the company.
The model had three variants back then namely Base, Vitesse and Pur Sang. The Pur Sang variant painted in French racing blue colours was used in the ice race. It also had a number of modifications that helped it to tackle the icy surfaces of the event. Bugatti informed the car boasted studded tires, limited-slip differential, a 1930s-inspired racing livery with GP Ice Race branding and safety car-style hazard lights. The vehicle led cars out on track before the start of the Ice Race GP, added the French marque.
The miniature version of the Bugatti Type 35, one of the most successful racing cars of all time, competed in an "Ice Spec" version specially designed for this purpose. The "Pur Sang" model is painted in "French Racing Blue" and has been adapted to the winter conditions to offer maximum safety. In addition to studded tires, limited-slip differential and 1930s-inspired racing suits with GP Ice Race branding, the Bugatti Baby II also featured safety-car-style hazard warning lights. As a tribute to the Type 35 and its historic successes, the number 35 was also emblazoned on the body. The Bugatti Baby II is available in three versions: Basis, Vitesse and Pur Sang. The Pur Sang variant is intended for collectors and has the same drive as the Vitesse, but also has a hand-made aluminum body. Using the same traditional bodywork techniques as the original Bugatti Type 35, it takes over 200 hours of craftsmanship to craft an aluminum body. In India, Bugatti offers 2 new models, Divo (Rs. 41.00 crore), Chiron (Rs. 19.21 crore) for all enthusiasts and Bugatti aficionados.
