Bugatti's Racing Heritage!
The Bugatti Type 59 represents the pinnacle of Bugatti Grand Prix cars, a testament to the extraordinary engineering talents of Ettore and Jean Bugatti. Despite competing against more modern, government-funded rivals, the Type 59's long, low and sleek body earned it a special place in Grand Prix history. This was Bugatti's last successful Grand Prix racer, often celebrated for its artistic design and mechanical heritage rooted in the iconic Type 35.
This meticulously crafted 1:18 scale model is based on the car that Tazio Nuvolari drove to fifth place in the Monaco Grand Prix on 2 April 1934. The race was the first to use the new 750kg weight limit, and despite stiff competition and various mechanical challenges, Nuvolari's skilful driving kept the Type 59 competitive. Created from precise digital scans of chassis 59122 from Ralph Lauren's collection, this model faithfully captures the car's exquisite detailing and racing heritage.
Handcrafted in collaboration with Bugatti's automotive historian, Julius Kruta, and verified by the manufacturer's engineering and design teams, this model ensures complete accuracy and representation. More than just a scale model, it's a tribute to a bygone era of racing elegance and engineering excellence, making it a valuable addition to any collector or enthusiast's collection.
