Italeri 1:12 Bugatti Roadster/Monte Carlo Plastic Model Kit

The Bugatti Type 35 is one of the most iconic and revered racing cars in motor racing history, both technically and competitively. Ettore Bugatti's masterpiece was a unique mix of engineering skill, design, elegance, speed and its relatively light weight. Produced during the 1920s, it won an incredible number of races in both “road” and “on track” competitions. The Bugatti was in fact specifically designed for the world of racing, which included the introduction of technical and mechanical solutions for the car that made it ideal for the racing circuits of the period.

Aesthetically, it was universally known and recognisable by the unmistakable shape of the horseshoe-shaped radiator, which was a key design feature of Bugatti as a car manufacturer. Due to its 2,263 cm3 8-cylinder engine with a four-speed mechanical gearbox and equipped with a volumetric compressor, the Bugatti Type35B was able to attain a top speed of 210 km / h. In particular, the Bugatti 35C, due to its perfect balance between performance and handling, can be considered among the best "Type35" ever made.
