Ettore Bugatti built a half-scaled Type 35 roadster for his son Roland in 1926 with help from Jean Bugatti, and it was a masterpiece powered by an electric motor, and that's why this 2021 Bugatti Baby is named II
While some people are still looking for Christmas presents, others will start looking for them on the 20th of December. I can't blame them since I didn't get gifts for anyone yet. But this toy car made me think that I would buy it for my son so I can drive it around just to teach him how to do it... right! I'd buy it for myself, of course!
What you see here is a vehicle produced by the Little Car Company. Manny Khoshbin bought one for his kid, and we can't blame him for that. The small enterprise announced that it would build only 500 of these toy-wonders in three versions: Base, Vitesse, and Pure Sang, and exhibited a Bugatti Baby II on the fifth floor of the British store Harrods, in the Technology area.
While the car is not recognized as a toy by European laws since it's too fast, it can still be a nice present for someone who owns a piece of land large enough to host a small go-kart track. How fast is it? Well, depending on the versions, the vehicle could reach up to 42 mph (70 kph) in the top-spec version, with a 10 kW motor for the Vitesse or the Pure Sang version. Depending on the driver's weight, it can also rocket from zero to 60 kph (0-37.3 mph) in six seconds.
If you want to keep your kid safer, you may go for the Base version, which offers a 4 kW motor and has a two-stage speed limiter. For the Novice setting, it can reach up to 12 mph (20 kph), but for the "Expert" setting, it can go up to 30 mph (45 kph). To stop this little vehicle, the manufacturer installed hydraulic brakes. Yet, the skinny tires might not be the best choice for it, leaving more room for further tuning options.
The Little Car Company build the Baby Bugatti II at a 75% scaled-down size of the actual Type 35 and offers a wide choice of colors and leather upholstery. At Harrods, the builder displayed a Williams Green unit with a Bridge of Weir brown seat and side paddings. The aluminum finish for the rest of the cockpit and the dials on the dash panel are all authentic. Also, the four-spoke steering wheel features a wooden rim.
If you wonder how much this too-fast toy costs, then we'll let you know that it starts at around $40k for the Base version and reaches up to $80,000 for the carbon-fiber bodied Pur Sang. It might be pretty expensive for a toy car. But when you're making that kind of money per day, the price won't be an issue.
