The ultimate expression of the BUGATTI Grand Prix car, the Type 59 stands as a testament to Ettore and Jean Bugatti’s extraordinary engineering creativity. Widely regarded as an artistic masterpiece, it carried forward the spirit of the iconic and all-conquering Type 35, which Ettore had designed a decade earlier. By extending the wheelbase of the new chassis frame, BUGATTI created a Grand Prix car of exquisite proportions and timeless beauty. In an era when the art of race car design was increasingly overtaken by science, the Type 59 remained competitive despite its adherence to what many considered ‘old-fashioned’ mechanics. Though often outpaced by its more modern, government-funded rivals, its long, low, and elegant form has secured it a revered place in Grand Prix history. The Type 59 endures as BUGATTI’s last truly successful Grand Prix racer — a final flourish of artistry on the race track.
