The 1928 Bugatti Type 43 Grand Sport was one of the fastest road cars of its era, capable of reaching 100 mph thanks to its detuned inline-eight engine sourced from the Type 35B Grand Prix car. With 120 bhp, this supercharged engine combined with a robust chassis and carefully designed components allowed the Type 43 to set a new standard in road going performance.
