Jean Bugatti with the Bugatti Royale 'Esders' Roadster, 1932


This had a 12.7 litre inline 8-cylinder engine that produced almost 300 hp, very high for 1932, when the Ford Model A had 40 hp.  Because of their pricetag, only 3 of the 6 were sold at the time.

Wheelbase: 4.3 metres (169.3 in)
Length: 6.4 metres (252.0 in)
Tare weight: 3.175 tonnes (7,000 lb)
