This diecast model Bugatti Royale Coupe de Ville (1931) is Black and Beige and features working steering, suspension, wheels and also opening bonnet with engine, doors.
Built in 1931, The Bugatti Royale Type 41 was designed to impress; and it certainly did. Given its extreme size and beautiful design, it continues to fascinate enthusiasts all across the world. At a price that could have bought you three Rolls-Royces, the Royale was reserved for only the richest, and those who could afford this car knew there would not be many others they would have to share it with. The extremely elegant body design is fastened to a gargantuan chassis, and is built extremely sturdily in order to cope with the length, weight and even the huge torque of the car. The giant 142 cm long engine was lubricated with 14 litres of oil and cooled with 48 litres of water. The Royale had a 190 litre tank – which it definitely needed at a consumption of Seven Miles per Gallon. Water-cooled, straight 8 cylinder engine, overhead camshaft, 24 valves, 12,763 cc capacity, Maximum power approx. 300 horsepower at 3,000 rpm, 3-speed gearbox, maximum speed approx. 160 km/h. Wheelbase 4,300 mm, track 1,600 mm, total length more than 6 metres Deadweight 3,125 kg.
1:18th Scale Model: This preassembled, die-cast model is a milestone in model manufacture. This 1:18 scale model reconstruction of the legendary Bugatti Royale Type 41 Coupe de Ville is made up of more than 1,300 individual parts, and is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. 18 different materials went into the making of this model, and all parts were assembled lovingly piece-by-piece by hand.
The die-cast metal body can be removed from the chassis with just a few manipulations, giving you a unique view of a scaled version of the nearly 1.5 metre long original engine. The 1.85 kg weight is exceptional for a 1:18 scale model – as was the deadweight of the original car, which weighed more than 3,000 kg.
Like the original car, this model by Bauer of Germany can only be described by one word: GIGANTIC! So that you also have somewhere to "park" this dream model, it comes with a high-quality wooden base and mirror.
1:18 scale (approx. 28cm / 11.0in long) - made by Bauer.
