Les Légendes de Bugatti – Black Bess

By April 11, 2014March 23rd, 2019No Comments

Talking about super sport cars and how it all started, the Bugatti Typ 18 can be named as one of the first ever street legal super sports car in automotive history. With a top speed of 160 km/h, the Type 18 was one of the fastest road vehicles in the world at the time and a direct forerunner of today’s world speed record-holding Bugatti Veyron. The fifth Legend model in the successful six-part Edition „Les Legendes de Bugatti“ pays tribute to the Type 18 “Black Bess”, which was named after a famous British racehorse. Both, the Vitesse* Legend car “Black Bess“, as well as the original Type 18, will be on display at Auto China Beijing 2014 and for all our fans we have already prepared this gallery.
