Bugatti Type 55 Roadster
Modelled, textured and rendered in Blender 4.0
The Bugatti Type 55 was produced 1932-1935 and is a road-going version of the Type 51 Grand Prix race car.
Only 38 cars were made, of which 16 were equipped with a 2-seater roadster body designed by Jean Bugatti himself. None of the factory bodied cars had doors which made them far less practical than the cars bodied by external coachbuilders, most of which did have doors.
My model is mostly inspired by chassies no 55231, built in 1933 and factory equipped with a Jean Bugatti body.
Straight 8 cylinder engine with supercharger. 130 BHP, which gave the light-weight car (800 kg!) impressive performance for its time.
