Airfix 02451 Bugatti Typ 35B

The Bugatti Type 35 is a French sports and racing car that was first presented to the public in 1924. Its serial production started in the same year and continued until 1930.

The Bugatti Type 35 was developed and put into production as a complement to the company's commercial offer, but also in connection with the desire to create the best possible racing car. While working on the 35 model, many experiences were used, as well as ready-made components from the Bugatti Type 13 and Type 29 cars. Efforts were also made to ensure the new model as low aerodynamic drag as possible. Various power units were used as the engine, but one of the more famous was the 2.2-liter engine with 130 HP. Finally, a very successful car was created, it was able to accelerate to 201 km / h, and its acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h was about 6-6.5 seconds! The car was also rather reliable and held relatively well on the road. In the second half of the 1920s, he was second to none on racing tracks in Europe and won over 1,000 car races!
