In 2024, Bugatti marks the centennial anniversary of its legendary Type 35. Unveiled in 1924, it became an instant icon, dominating races with its exceptional performance, handling, and distinctive design. Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti, the founder of the French luxury brand, penned the Type 35 himself.
The Type 35 is one of history’s most successful race cars, winning over 1,000 races across eight versions produced. Louis Chiron’s Grand Prix wins (yes, that Chiron) were among the Type 35’s most iconic accolades, and Molsheim deemed the achievements of this driver in this car good enough to warrant a nod to the past with the name of its Veyron replacement.
