1933 Bugatti Type 43A Roadster 'Sport Luxe' - eviltoast
This 1933 Bugatti Type 43A Roadster 'Sport Luxe' is one of the most rare Bugattis ever, and features a 2,262 CC SOHC Inline 8-cylinder Engine

97 years ago Bugatti was turning out supercharged sports cars… what? I just thought this was a car company that started in the 70s… The more you know.

    Right! And to hit 100mph. A late 1800s I saw a news article that said man can’t comprehend moving faster than 20mph that’s why we need rails to move faster. Man how times changed 😂

      Wait until you find out about Duesenberg. They made 400hp supercharged straight 8 monsters that cost more than a doctors annual salary back in the 20’s and 30’s. They were much faster than even race cars of the era. IMO the first relative “hypercars” if you compare what else was available.
