Baby Bugatti for the Well-Funded Tyke

We’ve seen plenty of upscale toys built to fill the wants of rich and powerful kiddies, but this recreation Baby Bugatti is in another class entirely.

Not simply a child’s toy that copies a car of yore, these child-sized Bugatti Type 52’s are recreated from an example that Ettore himself built and sold in the 1930’s. The original Babies could achieve speeds of up to 10 mph, and the recreations have that potential too, should the buyer in question like to source an electric engine.

The cars are built by hand with aluminum coachwork and frames, cast aluminum wheels, and leather upholstery. There’s also a chrome-dipped brass radiator, which is the ultimate extravagance in an engineless car.

A few caveats before perspective buyers throw their child’s Power Wheels in the dumpster though; the Baby Bugs ring up for around $10,000 (6.350 euros), and can only be delivered to France. Lust from afar, but comment below.
