Excellent coverage of an amazing engine! Ettore Bugatti was a perfectionist. To work in his factory, the story goes, an applicant was given a solid steel rod, and told to make one end a square, using only a hand file. Then the finished product had to have the *exact* dimensions as directed by Bugatti. I would imagine that he would be impressed by the W-16 engine. That transmission looks like you could use it in a semi truck! WYR= Really, Jay? If I could afford one, I could afford them all! But the Type 35 would definitely end up in my garage! P.S.: When the Veyron came out, I remember that Michelin virtually hand made the tires, and that they were $21,000 *_each_* !!!
Ettore Bugatti was born in Milan Italy soooo not german but would became a french citizen in later life. Also a young Enzo Ferrari was a mechanic on the bugatti team.
cue th' 🎵 Out in West Texas town of Radiator Flats I fell in love with Rosa's Used Cars.... Saw a good one, it looked like it could run Out to the bad lands of New Mexico and a wild test fer fun Flashing blue and red behind, very festive. Off road I go YEE HA ! Speeding and swerving, I can't let them catch me Off to The left there's an old B & W Packard with Broderick C. Off to right a new unmarked Challenger ?? (oh yeah it's Friday ...Frank Something is terribly wrong for I fear The exhaust and muffler has fallen off the rear Aye Caramba ! Now tears fill my eyes with sadness or is it the smoke pouring out of the hood ? Rosa won't be happy. ( Frank ? ..didn't need to shoot out the tires! apologies Marty
SS 26 Bugatti... more roadable, in fact, there is a guy who does just that.... Jay Leno invited him to come by, so he drove across the country (and back) for said visit... On Jay's channel.
VW did NOT buy Rolls-Royce. They only bought Bentley, and with it, the factory facilities in England. This is also where Rolls-Royce had been built. The name and Rolls-Royce trademark was purchased by BMW. Because of this, BMW had to re-create Rolls-Royce from the ground up. During this transition period, BMW worked with VW/Bentley until BMW had built it's own manufacturing facilities. Before all the mergers, Rolls-Royce had tried using BMW V12 engines but R-R buyers felt that the BMW engine didn't have enough torque. They continued using the traditional R-R/Bentley V8, in both Turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. Remember, R-R/Bentley cars weighed close to 3 tons. Although there was alot of aluminum in the bodies, the frames were built like a HD 1 ton truck. BMW/R-R continued to buy Bentley V8's until BMW could build it's own engines capable of pushing it's new ground up re-designed R-R(based on BMW's "7" series, but oh so much larger).
@@What.its.like. I seem to remember that BMW had believed that it got the manufacturing facilities also. BMW only got the R-R name. Imagine, once prestigious British brands are now owned by German companies! Almost as bad is the Jaguar brand is owned by a cheap-o car manufacturer of India.
