Item Details
The Real Car
The Bugatti Type 13 was one of the marque's earliest and most successful designs, distinguished by its horseshoe-shaped radiator, a styling cue that became a Bugatti hallmark for decades. The "Brescia" name was adopted after Bugatti's cars took the top four places at the 1921 Voiturette Grand Prix in Brescia, Italy, a result that established the marque's reputation for lightweight, high-revving engineering in the immediate post-war years.
