The Bugatti Baby II is the modern update of its first racing car for kids in 1926
Between 1924 and 1930, Ettore Bugatti was experiencing one victory after another with the now legendary Bugatti Type 35. To put it into perspective, the iconic open-top sports car secured over 2,000 victories during this period. In 1926, Bugatti built a mini replica of the Type 35 as a fourth birthday present for his youngest son, Roland.
Scaled down to 50 per cent of the Type 35's size, the creation was affectionately called Baby and was so popular that 500 units were produced. The racing car for kids, perhaps the first of its kind, remains highly coveted by a Bugatti collector today.

Perhaps in reaction to the unabated desire for this novelty, Bugatti unveiled a follow-up, the Bugatti Baby II, last year to commemorate its 110th anniversary. A remarkable replica of its namesake, the car was just made available to the public — and it's already sold out.
Bugatti has imbued the car with a touch of modernity and power while retaining its heritage. Developed through a full 3D scan of the Bugatti Type 35 and shrunk to 25 per cent of the original size, Bugatti Baby II is bigger than the first Baby hence allowing drivers aged 14 and above to experience the fun.
