Driving Pur Sang's Bugatti Type 35 race car

[@garyhaber333]

Theres no other sound like the 35B type. That whine is beautiful 🥰💖 My ultimate dream car since I was 8 yrs old.

[@TobRacer]

That gearbox whine combine with the grownling engine plus the little clunck when you change gear... So sweet. Awesome review !

[@TheDarwiniser]

I would have one in an instant. I would come back from a drive exhausted, ears buzzing, hands sore, and cheeks creased from the sheer joy of that drive. Its exactly the kind of car you wake up at 2am just to drive fast down your favourite stretch of road, alone, dim cabin lights, cold air biting your face, that orb of tarmac ahead in the headlights your sole focus. maybe someday. ;(

[@moesabawi4437]

Jeremy Clarkson once asked "Can a car ever be art?" Pur Sang: Yes!

[@PASquared]

When the Veyron was replaced by the newer faster Chiron, people don't really care about the Veyron. When the Chiron is replaced by its newer, faster successor, people won't really care about the Chiron. But decades from now, this Type 35 Replica will continue to be an incredible work of art, speed and excitement. It wasn't about sticking the most cylinders and turbos into a car to make it fast. It was about making a car that stripped out everything besides what made it go.

[@RoverWaters]

lol after WW2 nobody cared about T35's either

[@Malc180s]

And in 50 years the Veyron and Chiron will be amazing collectors items, just like this. A Veyron will be slower than a regular fast hatchback by then, but that won't be seen as the point.

[@altjacobs]

no, hatchbacks wont be faster than a veyron or chiron, because they will be autonomous google cars fixed to 60kmh to get from a to b, and driving as we know it will be long gone. internal combustion vehicles will probably become part of the show and display law, or some special licenses or insurance policies will be needed to drive them. very sad times coming indeed.

[@TheDarwiniser]

if a select group of people, with socialist / green nutjob / tofu eating tendencies get their way, yes, perfect prediction. but. ferrari, aston martin, lotus, porsche, all the key marques.... they wont stop doing what they do.... dont forget, necessity is the mother of invention..... car makers will recognise performance sells. its bulletproof under all but the worst of left fanatical fed govts.

[@mattrklein]

I've seen the Matt Farrah video on this company, but there was something magical about this take. Thank you very much for amazing product and keep it up.

[@RoverWaters]

because he filmed himself driving mostly

[@Digiphex]

You can drive it all day and sit an look at it all evening. Park it in the living room.

[@mattharvey78]

I couldn't get over the sound the Type 35 was making. I never imagined that the Type 35 sounded that demonic. Would Ettore Bugatti think that the Veyron and Chiron were for absolute wimps? Absolutely awesome!

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I'd rather have this over a Veyron.

[@joevanseeters2873]

ABSOLUTELY! Without a doubt, one of the GREATEST motor vehicles ever created. In 1927 when most people in the world were still using a horse and carriage, this vehicle could propel you up to around 140+ MPH give or take. Most cars at that time were averaging a top speed of about 40, maybe 50 tops (all out, pedal to the floor). Most roads in 1927 were NOT paved, they were dirt roads with lots of ruts, rocks, and holes. It is difficult to grasp how revolutionary this machine was in 1927. It was the Veyron/Chiron of it's day.

[@Pete-z6e]

ElijahMFearon , or two, back up!

[@lukeholland6031]

ElijahMFearon people just say they’d rather take it to make them seem more cultured and like true “car enthusiasts”. its comical

[@marquesdeportago1596]

Because this "replica" is more Bugatti than the VW Veyron.

[@davidmann8254]

Gave me goosebumps. One of the most powerful advertisements for a terrific car.

[@loudpedalabuser7006]

Drive tribe right now is putting out the BEST content on the internet hands down. I'm loving it and I'm really excited to see where this will go.

[@Peppermint1]

The Blue the France (French Blue) on a Type 35 is the most beautiful car color ever made, imho

[@macstone9719]

A car in which you could actually scrape your ellbows on the back wheels. A different time....

[@stephenddblyth]

mac stone and your bare skull across the Tarmac

[@jmsaltzman]

Beautiful, thanks for posting this, the sound is magnificent and your excitement is palpable.

[@quigonjay9]

Beautiful machine. Certainly one for the list if I ever win the lottery

[@winedemonium]

What an amazing car. The grin-inducing fun of the Morgan 3-wheeler, and more so, and that sort of old-world complexity and insanity of Jay Leno's steam cars, this Pur Sang is clearly in that ever-narrowing niche of cars that give total engagement. And it seems exhilarating and exhausting to drive. It made my life just a little better today learning that someone out there is making these, and others get to buy and drive them. Bravo!

[@murdoch9106]

I'd love to see one of their creations compared to the original! :D Not the first time I've seen one of their rolling artworks! But damn, still blows me away every time! Wish I could see it in person.

[@georgipartsalev6193]

Watch Jay Leno's videos. They look (even in close-up's) and sound exactly the same, and according to Jay, they even smell the same. The guys at Pur Sang not only replicate every single component, they use the same building methods as the originals. The only difference is that one is an extremely valuable piece of history.

[@nealjones9068]

Used to Marshall at Prescott in Gloucestershire and sat in one a couple of times. Goodness what I'd give to drive one!

[@EdwardAMG]

That red thing on the dashboard looks like a bomb. 9:33

[@nielsgodron3999]

It's the magneto!

[@wm2357]

I am absolutely in love with this car.

[@adampetten5349]

Péter Kiss I gotta feel for this automobile.😍

[@willemdenboer5030]

Dear sir,watching you driving the type 35.One remark,being unsychronised this machine needs double clutching and most of all declutching.Shifting from 4 to 3,for instance,hit the clutch,put her in neutral,lift the clutch,rev her up,hit the clutch and it will slot in effortlessly.Writing takes all evening,doing just a second and the reward,great.......Very glad people are building and buying these great machines.

[@RoverWaters]

Bugatti gearbox doesn't necessarily need double clutching

[@brianspenst1374]

That engine noise is incredible.

[@thecakeisalie7070]

OMG the sound! Will you guys consider using a binaural mic system for the cabin sounds? E.g. 3Dio

[@allensaunders449]

dtiving cars like this when they were new was normal for the racers this was what they were like no modern reference and actually the EB 110 resurrected the bugatti name nice vid

[@tlaps3033]

That positive camber

[@grodard9]

It reminds me of that photograph of Truman Capote dancing with Marylin Monroe.

[@pedrospain571]

Made me cry. Child hood memories. Poor dad .. to sell it!

[@n0sfreak]

The owner was *really brave* to let you drive that thing (or trusts you & your skill like mad) to allow that magnificent old machine to be driven on public roads in my view.

[@mahamed92]

n0sfreak its a new machine but built exactly like the old pre war original was to the bolts

[@n0sfreak]

Mohamed Sherhan true, but that makes it all the more distinct. I would have to really trust somebody wholly to drive a skiddish machine like that on the public road. Then again, if one has the $$$$$.....

[@clairebannister4749]

bluddy brilliant - if I had the money one of these anyday over a modern supercar

[@fastnbulbouss]

Imagine driving that car when it came out almost a 100 years ago.

[@Oblio1942]

this sounds kinda like riding an older sports bike from the 70s or the 60s. Like my old kz, it can be temperamental to start up, you have the choke to worry about, the gearbox clunks and sometimes 4th- 5th misses and you get a faux neutral, the starter doesnt really work so you have to kick it over more often than not for what seems like an hour, sometimes you just run out of gas if youre not careful or youre daring, and the tires leave so much to be desired that dropping your knee at 30mph feels sketchy sometimes. But Ive never had so much fun as I have riding that even with a 400cc motor

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

The moment I read the title I said this has to be a pur sang, Jay leno wouldn't let them drive his, and I won't blame him, that thing is so expensive...

[@uppastdawn7627]

I thought they only had the hand brake- is this a modification that Pur Sang made- to have a pedal…maybe the hand brake only handles the rears? Also- shouldn’t he be pumping the fuel pressure every so often, or is that just something that you do at start up and gravity takes over once it’s running? Either way- I want one.

[@RoverWaters]

no modification, brake pedal is for all wheels via cables the hand brake is... a hand brake like in all cars. the hand pump is there to prime the mechanical fuel pump, before starting the car.

[@godsilindustries5168]

Very nice. We are building a 1:4 scale version right now with CAD and 3d printing.

[@daveadams5932]

Wow, just wow!

[@edbull57]

Apart from being the wrong colour blue this is a magnificent car!

[@bsg2621]

wrong colour? these type 35's raced in blue...

[@edbull57]

BSG I prefer the lighter original Bugatti blue. All subjective just my taste.

[@Nemoticon]

Are you talking about the lighter 'baby blue' or French Blue? I think I like that too.

[@elliottvader2377]

the car may be the right color but the color correction to make the shots look better can through off shades. also most monitors are not color accurate so it could also be your computer.

[@nielsgodron3999]

There really is no one original Bugatti colour. Fact is, the Type 37s and T35 would be painted in France's racing blue, but there were big differences in shades throughout the country. For instance, racers from the south would often choose a lighter, almost whitish blue, whereas the northern cars were much darker, more towards the blue in the Pur Sang 35 in this video. If you're interested in knowing more about this great marque, please join the Vintage Bugatti tribe on Drivetribe.

[@tadficuscactus]

it's hard to hear the engine above the gearbox whine. great video and great car. I would have liked it if he talked specifically about what the engine felt like.

[@jackmcdermott7383]

not that I could ever afford one of these, but what are the legalities of this in the UK? Would it need cycle wings or is there an exemption to that rule?

[@daviejay5326]

The want is strong with this one Would you guys choose this or the alfa romeo 8c monza in that lovely red

[@RoverWaters]

the Monza is hard to drive, plus the T51 is superior.

[@gerardmontgomery280]

Be for Bugatti was resurrected with the Veyron. EB110 gets no love yet again. Still this is stunning and although it's not cheap, its not priceless like a real Type 35. I believer Pur Sang even offer a version with roller berrings.

[@philippep561]

In 1930 my great uncle bought a type 37 ....

[@Mark_Williams300]

But why is the steering on the right?

[@RoverWaters]

racing tracks were raced clockwise, so many manufacturers put the steering wheel on the right side for better visibility

[@KayoMichiels]

4:37.. well with a car with positive camber... that's to be expected... it want's to pull into every corner, infact it has positive camber because it will self powersteer your steering inputs.

[@RoverWaters]

on the contrary, positive camber coupled with rigid axle induces outboard lateral forces.It was used to counteract the natural oversteer tendency of the car.

[@SirSilicon]

Very nice video, your narration microphone audio is kind of bad, though.

[@skuzzyj]

Hermann Mann They should look into a noise-cancelling headset setup, like one would use with a motorcycle. I know you can get a setup from Sena that doesn't require a helmet but I'm not sure of that particular unit will sync with the GoPro backpack. I'm sure a phone call would answer that question, though.

[@MrRj600rr]

What song ?

[@pedrospain571]

My Dad had one , always said no car close to it, in a class of it's own. Spoke so reverently. I could never afford one. but i know.

[@shaquielle6470]

Does anyone know why it seems to have positive camber on the front rather than negative?

[@RoverWaters]

to counteract the cars natural tendency to oversteer in corners. and it worked, many period drivers attested to the neutral feel of the car.

[@shaquielle6470]

Rover Waters thank you

[@markbojanjac6805]

I was thinking the same thing. Must be awfully unstable in a straight line let alone corners. Personally I'd dial in a couple of degrees negative camber with a little toe to stabilise it.

[@marcelomurlo6426]

Watch The Jay Leno"s Alfa Monza

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ...

[@djgtuk2012]

It's erroneous to refer to the type 35 as an F1 car. It is a grand prix car built thirty years before formula one was conceived.

[@RoverWaters]

no

[@seinfeld11123]

why dont they set the front tyres to 0 degrees camber instead of like 5 degrees Positive lol

[@stephenddblyth]

jack black because the suspension was so poor when under steering the out side wheel would chatter. Same as tractors today

[@T.A.C.S.94]

It has a solid front axle, like with negative camber on modern cars, with a solid axle the tyre moves in the opposite direction under load, so the positive camber effectively straights the wheel out at speed (load).

[@RoverWaters]

why the fuck will they do such a stupid thing?

[@T.A.C.S.94]

It was cutting edge technology at the time, we are talking about the 30's

[@clairebannister4749]

slightly slower change from 4-3 may have been better?

[@alephnull5241]

This thing is terrifying: you sit on a flat, couch type seat that has no grip because it is made from leather and has no profile to hug your body in any place, no seat belts, skinny tyres, no brakes that you can sensibly modulate(not progressive, basically binary) and when they start biting the car tends to get sideways. The pedals are spaced so that you get extra excitement. It looks like it has longish wheelbase and a really narrow track with pretty high center of gravity which means it is pretty easy to roll. To exacerbate it has metal leafs for suspension. This car is basically a bathtub with wheels and probably drives like one. One mistake and you are dead. This is not a widow-maker, this car is for those whose daily routine starts by playing a few of rounds of russian roulette. Absolutely mental.

[@dylanstechreviewz6857]

Look at that one then look at the Chiron

[@CockatooDude]

They are both pinnacles of their time period.

[@mountjoy23]

Spacingmcpe one is a fast Audi TT, the other is a bit of history.

[@CockatooDude]

+mountjoy23 Well that's not really true, they both have custom chassis. Just because one company is owned by another one doesn't devalue the car objectively.

[@DeathBringer769]

Value is dictated by subjective perception though. There's no such thing as true "objective value." If you find yourself disagreeing then you aren't thinking pedantic enough.
