The genius of all the time of automotive world, Ettore Bugatti made a special version of his master piece T35 for his sons. Powered by electric motor, yes this is in 1927 not 2017, and equipped with four wheel brake and elaborate suspension, speeding up to 18km/h, the "Type Baby" was a children's Bugatti supercar.

90 years old Type Baby or a new M3 Sedan?

It is believed that there are only 100 units of Type Baby still around in the world. One of them were put on auction last week. The bid price was US$99,000, almost same price for a new M3 Sedan. It will be a nice present to your child but if you can get a nice new M3 for your family,,,,, well, forget it. Just buy a M3 and Type Baby so there will be no regrets.

Ettore Bugatti set world speed records for cars, boats, trains and airplanes and his Type 35 became the most successful racing car ever. His cars have long since regained their former glory on the auction block, but the hitherto unacclaimed "Baby"...
