Bugatti Prototype at The Quail

This is the first Bugatti "prototype" that was a preproduction that showed up in the USA at the famous Monterey weekend of "The Quail" and again at "Pebble Beach Concours". The created a massive stir, serious customers were given rides up and down famous Highway 1. This car does not have the same engine as today's car...the engine had to redesigned, and the double clutch system. To handle the massive 1001 hp.

These photos were shot with a Leica M6 and Summicron 35mm F2 ASPH lens. On Fuji NPZ derated to 400.

I will post several more photos from this story of that year that I published at Motorsports Center.com. enjoy.
