The Bugatti Type 35 was first produced in 1924 and was powered by a two-liter, un-blown engine. The following year, it received a smaller 1.5-liter engine. It was quickly followed by three supercharged examples that were created to contest the Alsatian Grand Prix. Even though there were naturally aspirated and supercharged engines, these cars all had the same Type 35 designation.
The Type 35 would become one of the most successful vehicles produced by the legendary Bugatti company. They helped establish the marque as a competitive race-car manufacturer, with 12 major Grand Prix victories in 1926 alone. The following year, the Type 35s, in both privateer and factory hands, captured over 2000 victories in a vast array of motorsports competition.
