The price of this Bugatti corresponds in the year 1930 with three Rolls Royce. Today, even this is not enough. If you are one of the lucky few to own one, you will not sell. Its value is sufficient for more than one generation. It is the largest, inter-war in series produced car - what is called a serie - with 6 cars. If you take into consideration that Ettore Bugatti also designed the Peugeot Bebe, his wide range becomes imagineable. This car features the largest single cubic capacity of all petrol engines ever. The consumption can be up to 40 litres/100 km, still less than what the W16 consumes when driving at maximum speed, 400 km/h.
