Bugatti Baby II: Type 35 for young and old

As part of its 110th-anniversary celebration, Bugatti has built a scaled-down, all-electric replica of the Bugatti Type 35, called the Baby II.

The manufacturer partnered with the Little Car Company to build this collection. The original Baby was a tight squeeze for children at 50 percent scale, so the baby has grown to 75 percent scale so children and adults can both enjoy it. Bugatti has even added a sliding pedal box to make it easier for adults to drive it.

Limited to just 500 examples € 30,000 (approx R500k). The Bugatti Baby II is powered by an electric motor, powered by a 1.4kWh or optional 2.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack. As standard, the drivetrain is fitted with a regenerative braking system and a limited-slip differential. The rear-wheel-drive powertrain has two selectable power modes: 1kW child mode with a top speed of 12 mph (20 km / h) and a 4kW adult speed with a top speed around 28 mph (45 km / h). 

It will be available in three specifications: Baby II with a composite body, Baby II Speed with a carbon fiber body and Speed Key, and Baby II Pure Blood with a handcrafted aluminum body and Speed Key.

Bugatti turns 110, you can afford to look at the rearview mirror a little bit more than you usually would. Thus, it is only fitting for the revival of the Bugatti Baby, "said Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. "The Bugatti Baby II has grown up to be more of a teenager now, and I must say I'm very excited about it on the Bugatti premises in Molsheim."

Even the eight-spoke wheels are faithful reproductions of the wheels on the original.
