Old Top Gear - Bugatti Special

This was recorded in 1995, when Chris Goffey accompanied some classic Bugattis around Italy.
He also takes time to visit the Bugatti factory to road test the EB110 Supersport and to talk to some owners at the Prescott hillclimb.

[@frankburns8871]

5-liter 4-cylinder engine. That's freaking hilarious! So used to reading about 3.5-liter V-12s in modern supercars--the exact opposite--that that really took me by surprise.

[@LibertyWines]

Absolutely amazingly well built motorcars.

[@outsidethepyramid]

Thanks for uploading this legionary TV episode. I have it on VHS somewhere. Chris Goffey does a great job here. The stripped out Bugatti is amazing.

[@ThisIsDavesGarage]

These are such timeless, beautiful cars. Excellent documentary. Thanks for uploading.

[@crushingvanessa3277]

I'd love to get a ride in any of these. But I'm a long way from France.

[@LordHumungusFL]

I had a good little chuckle seeing all those Bugatti cars on that Italian barge, thats a lot of money riding on that thing....

[@ChooseFreeWill]

what is the insurance limit of that ferry in Venice? with all those Bugatti's on it... epic moment

[@mej6519]

i do miss the old top gear...

[@a34rwl]

Yeah... (sigh)

[@wisgliebau]

The fellow in the black Type 57 is one of the luckiest car owners in the world, in my opinion. What a treat that car must be!

[@LILLO84]

omg the Eb 110 such a great machine! Good old times when Bugatti was italian

[@silentec1761]

By far, the 57SC Atlantic is the best looking Bugatti.

[@VEGETAfan79203]

Agreed

[@kato2395]

+Random ‍ well, it's based on the Bugatti Aerolithe concept. It's a really beautiful car :)

[@UKArtlover]

In fact the first two Atlantics were actually called “Aero” in the factory records when they went out

[@Qnickel27]

there is a company by the name Pur Sang that reproduces Bugatti's to exacting original specs in i believe brazil.

[@cwesleyclark]

Cool vid! Nice to see the Mobbed up director of the 90's iteration of the company speak at the end. Still - and 8,000 RPM redline seems a bit low these days. Also there, but only seen in the background is the Type 59 Roi des Belges model built for King Leopold....when I get to heaven, the Lord had better roll up in that or he might lose some of my respect!

[@psk1w1]

The T59 was Bugatti's last GP race car. Roi des Belges is bodywork for luxury cars - see this: www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/4749364/A-good-idea-at-the-time-Roi-des-Belges-body-style.html

[@aeolus75]

big thanks for sharing :)

[@barbariansdrivers4851]

I love classic cars!

[@ianedmonds9191]

It's hard to imagine a Bugatti Atlaintique owner driving one outside ever. This was a lot of years ago. Now they are worth Stupid money. It was the most expensive car for a bit if I recall correctly. Luv and Peace.

[@TheSillypig]

This great vid also shows why a Veyron is much more desirable then any other 400km/h car.

[@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

better then any dvd

Is there any way to use this footage please?. Ivan Dutton is interviewed on here. Now aged 83 he has a successful KZbin Channel, SHED Racing, in which he entertains his 18.5k viewers with restoration, racing, anecdotes etc. Would be fabulous if we could use some of the footage of him on his channel - obviously with the appropriate credits etc.

[@TR4man]

Yes, of course - I actually subscribe to Ivan’s channel! It would be a great honour. I particularly enjoyed his film from a couple of months ago about your California!

I'm ever so glad you could share this with us Suzie.I'd have most likely never have seen it without your sharing the 'link code' with us on Shed Racing's sight.Thank you,and the producers.

[@jdogrulez5014]

Pur Sang is actually in Argentina.

[@MarkLaren]

My sentiments exactly.

[@DimitriTheSaint]

anyone knows which serial is the one at 13:40 ?

[@psk1w1]

That black car is a T57SC with Atlantic bodywork, but it's probably a replica body made in the '80s in Belgium. Made in the proper way, exactly as original. Jay Leno's T57SC At;amtoc is one of those

[@NeoCawte]

so cool

[@notsocialatall]

So true...

I wondered when he'd say 'tearing calico' 2 mins 09 secs

[@abdulkalef]

vhs????

[@noahvale939]

The black car at 13:07 and again at 13:27 is one of Erik Koux' replica Bugatti Atlantics. It appears again a few moments later and is featured for a longer time. The driver fails to identify it fully and accurately. www.bugattirevue.com/revue39/erik.htm

[@naptimewithturtles2]

It's a shame cars don't look like this anymore...

[@noahvale939]

Artioli's attempt to build a new car using the Bugatti name, which he and his consortium owned only briefly, was not a success. Later, when the VW Group acquired the name, a new and more lasting resurrection was to take place, but, spectacular as it is, the VW Group's Bugatti Veyron still isn't really a Bugatti in the purest sense.

[@farishanafiah8461]

26:49 I wonder if Clarkson copied that reversing idea whenever he drive V12 Lamborghinis.

[@chickencoopradio]

I don't know why a company in China, India or USA for that matter, doesn't copy some of the more popular Bugatti body styles with modern safety and other amenities and start cranking these out by the thousands. Easy money.

nice little narrow tires lol never gonna hear that again.

wtf they didnt say anything about bugatti veyron ?! -.-

[@6.thedollar415]

This was in like the 90s the veyron wasn't a thing yet.

[@charlesmoody3460]

am i right that Bugatti are the best cars ever, well besides the thrust ssc. everybody knows that right

[@markmarshall39]

always raining

[@laupstad]

The Veyron is an insult to the name of the man that coined the term "Fastest trucks in the world" to describe his fiercest competition. These days that title is held by his own marque. That's not saying the Veyron isn't awesome, it is, just that there is very little "Bugatti thinking" behind it.

[@SlideShowz-f9q]

I dont think Mr.Bugatti would be happy with the EB110, or even the Veyron. His philosophy is to make light weight car, unlike the EB110 and the Veyron which are pretty heavy compared to its competitors.

[@branon6565]

Wonderful narrow tires? Narrow tires are junk.....the wider the tire the better the grip....

Ettore Bugatti was an Italian who set up his car company in Molsheim in 1909, which was then in Germany. After WW1 it became French territory. The factory was financed by his friend Pierre de Vizcaya, a Spanish Basque.

If something fascinate enthusiast all over the world, becaming their lifes most important hobby, and they are willing to spend loads of their hard earned money on it, then "that something" is really special and beautiful. But what king of taste can we expect from Malaysian broke idiot who's "dream car" is Malaysian kit-car, so badly made that it really doesn't have a pinch of MG TD charm. Dirtpoor idiot trashing anything expensive.
