Description[]

This casting is based on an actual Bugatti vehicle, the Type 50, produced between 1931 and 1933. Only 65 full-sized examples were created. It featured an expensive chassis and elaborate coachwork and was marketed toward only the most wealthy. Today, it is considered a highly rare and collectable automobile. This Hot Wheels version recreates the two-tone paint scheme Bugattis were famous for. In 2002, this casting was also known as the 1932 Bugatti Type 50. Later releases have corrected the original model's wrongly-attributed year.

This model originally had a metal trunk and fenders; these were changed to plastic in 1989.
