‘Mini’ Bugatti Type 35 [Translated] From Instagram: In 1927, Ettore Bugatti made for his youngest son Roland, a mini Type 35, which was very successful. A small series of less than 500 copies will eventually be produced, all numbered and reserved in priority for the brand's loyal customer. (Young Prince - the future king of Morocco, Hassan I, is offered a Bugatti Baby, accompanied by his father, on the occasion of their visit to the Molsheim factories. The future king of Belgium, Baudouin, child, was also offered a copy) They are powered by a Paris Rhône electric motor powered by a 12-volt battery and linked by a crown sprocket to the rear axle. The aluminum sheet metal is mounted on a chassis, top speed of 18km/h. The front hood is held up by two leather straps, and the steering wheel is marked inside one of the "Baby 34" branches. The vehicle has a front blade suspension on a rigid axle. The rear has a fixed rigid axle. Front pivots and rear axle are now greasers. Direction, visually, is transmitted by kneepads and bars. The dashboard is equipped with a load control amp and a contactor/inverter (reversing/stop/forward step). Acceleration is ensured by a pedal that acts on a rheostat at 6 positions. The workout is done on the right rear wheel (creating a sort of differential), via a multiplier. And drum brake, on all 4 wheels, is cable controlled using a hand lever located on the right side, outside of the vehicle.
