@VW Group: BUGATTI BABY II CARBON EDITION – INSPIRED BY THE W16 MISTRAL ROADSTER006347

A limited-edition carbon-inspired new Bugatti Baby II has been created exclusively for W16 Mistral owners. Developed in partnership with The Little Car Company and hand built to each customer’s specifications, the Baby II Carbon Edition follows the exterior and interior detailing of the W16 Mistral, making it the ideal addition to Bugatti’s ultimate roadster.

Based on an advanced carbon fiber architecture, the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition is a design and engineering tribute to the W16 Mistral, the last roadgoing Bugatti model to feature the legendary W16 engine.

Every customer has the option to tailor their new Bugatti Baby II to their very own W16 Mistral specifications, making it a truly unique model.

HIGH-TECH CARBON AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN

To accompany bespoke paintwork and individual design specifications, the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition incorporates numerous carbon features. Visible carbon elements grace the radiator and grille, dashboard panel, interior panels and mirror mount while the bespoke black wood steering wheel is finished with a carbon center.

A series of beautifully painted black components add an intricate depth to the visual finish of the Carbon Edition. The spare wheel, spare wheel bracket and straps have all been removed, to make the vehicle lighter.

In honor of Bugatti’s home country, W16 Mistral1 owners can have the side of their Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition carefully hand painted with the French flag.

The headlights of the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition are beautifully enclosed within a horizontal LED styling, a design tribute to the W16 Mistral’s headlights. Inside, each new Bugatti Baby II is adorned with a custom engraved internal panel, displaying the chassis number and model name.

Unveiled in 2019, the limited-edition Bugatti Baby II (only 500 models) is a contemporary tribute to Ettore Bugatti’s original masterpiece, the Bugatti Baby, built in 1926. A 75 percent scale version of the Bugatti Type 35, the vehicle was developed to celebrate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary and is significant in preserving the history of the Bugatti marque.

The Baby II Carbon Edition follows a similar design treatment, exhibiting signature Bugatti interior styling characteristics. Elements of the original Bugatti Type 35’s instruments have been adapted for the modern day: the fuel pressure gauge is redesigned as the battery gauge. In a nod to the Bugatti Veyron treatment, the oil gauge has transitioned into a power gauge. And the scale version of the famous four spoke steering wheel has a quick release mechanism, to make access to the cockpit faster and easier.

The adjustable pedals are machined from solid aluminum billet and proudly display the famous ‘EB’ logo, while the fuel pump handle has been exactly reproduced, but in this iteration it serves as the forward, neutral and reverse selector.

Wiebke Stahl, Managing Director at Bugatti International, said: “The new Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition takes inspiration from our ‘Form Follows Performance’ philosophy; an ethos that has informed and ensured that all of Bugatti’s automobiles, lifestyle products and experiences meet the highest standards, be that in quality, luxury, design and performance.”

Ben Hedley, CEO of The Little Car Company, commented: “The Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition will be the ultimate collector’s item for those lucky W16 Mistral owners. We are honored that Bugatti wanted to collaborate on this beautiful edition.”

The Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition is priced at €80,000 plus taxes and shipping. For further information on the strictly limited-edition Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition, visit: https://bugattibaby.com
