[Auto] The Bugatti Baby II stops being a prototype to be a real toy

[#Steeven.™]

If you do a little memory you must remember the flirtatious and special Bugatti Baby II. We talked about it a little over a year ago, since it came to the world to celebrate the 110th birthday of the French firm. His presentation was unexpected since we all had the development of a special version on one of his street models. Be that as it may, the expectation it raised was so great that those responsible for the brand have decided to go one step further.

The Bugatti Baby II is, at the base, designed as a scale toy of the Type 35 Grand Prix of 1924. However, between the conceptual model and the one we present today there is a small difference: size. Yes, the first Baby II was designed for children up to 8 years old, that is, it had a 1:50 scale. In this case, the scale is 1:75, allowing children up to 14 years old (or more) to be accommodated inside.

The Bugatti Baby II has gone from being a concept to being a real toy

But be careful, it is not the only novelty that it incorporates ... The range will be made up of three finishes and depending on the chosen one, its manufacture and composition will be different. The Baby II Base One features a body made of composite materials as well as a 1.4 kWh capacity battery. Plus, enjoy two driving modes that essentially alter the power delivery and top speed they can reach.

The Baby II Vitesse version features a body made of carbon fiber. In this case, the motor has more power and the battery has a capacity of 2.8 kWh. Finally there is the most exclusive and personal finish: the Pur Sang. The powertrain is the same as the Vitesse, but its body is made of hand-modeled aluminum. The procedure for its manufacture is so laborious that it requires more than 200 hours of work.

At a technical and performance level there are no differences that we have at the time. Among the items to note, we cannot overlook the limited slip differential or replaceable battery pack. As a curiosity, mention that although it is a faithful replica of the Type 35 Grand Prix, the fuel pressure gauge now measures the battery capacity and the oil gauge shows the power used.

Regarding production, it is still limited to only 500 units so if you want one for your children (or for yourself), you will have to be very fast. Of course, go preparing the portfolio, because its official price exceeds 30 thousand euros and we do not believe that the brand will apply many discounts.
