Pur Sang Bugatti Type 37 | Hand-Crafted Perfection

[@leosheepman]

Jay Leno's garage, a Pur Sang, quality craftsmanship and beautiful film-making. This should get an Oscar. From the UK, dig these vids.

[@ToddiNorum]

I agree!

[@duraace7179]

It's shiny but it is not exactly quality. i have one. poor assembly. bad paint job. many problems. not worth $230,000

[@rjetta8v]

I have not been able to stop watching this video. No joke, I've seen it probably 100 times in the last week. I have always thought older cars were boring and lame but something about the Type 35 is just so right.

[@frenchbibiche]

That was a long wait for this new video, but it's a piece of art, like always!! Thanks for this 6 minutes of pleasure!

[@ElectricFederal]

Thank you, frenchbibiche. We're only a small team of guys. We don't have KZbin, NBC, or Discovery financing us like the major channels. EF videos maneuver around our day jobs.

[@Casey_J96]

Pre war cars are so beautiful! The type 35 and Alfa 2300 Monza are some of the most beautiful cars in my opinion.

[@GTchannel]

Great video!

[@georgipartsalev6193]

Beautiful craftsmanship, excellent filming and well picked music... this is petrolicious level! Just excellent!

[@UHPdriver]

I'm currently going through an old Bugatti/pre war race car phase and you put out this video. Thanks.

[@ElectricFederal]

The prewar era of racing was the most dangerous, intense, and fascinating. Our producer wanted to do Pur Sang after watching a video on their work. The fact that everything is done by hand makes it the purest form of auto enthusiasm we've encountered thus far.

[@cleanunderscoreme]

ElectricFederal What video was that your Producer watched?

[@shaugt241]

Love this car more and more. Amazing beauty...

[@MaxArg1988]

vamos argentina.

[@jmjackpots]

Your videos are AMAZING ! Keep it going !!!! more videos :)

[@ElectricFederal]

Thanks, Jean-Michel.

[@Billbothebear14]

Magic. Magnificent.

[@Christophe_L]

Amazing once again.

[@RCGB31]

Love it !

[@ElectricFederal]

Thanks!

[@SD-tj5dh]

To be fair this isn't even a replica. If every part of the car is made exactly the same as the original, then they are building brand new bugatti sports cars from an original design. So in essence they have actually continued it's production rather than replicate it :) I wish there were more people building cars like this. What I also like seeing is when people restore old Aston martins and jaguars, but electronically tuning the original block designs with better timing components. So the engine designs are being fully utilised

[@ElectricFederal]

It is. We have Pt. 2 in the pipeline, but we're still working on a companion article for it.

[@tolgagolbasi5741]

absolutely amazing video! great music as well! do the songs have a name, i would like to know them please.

[@HMHacki]

I have not found a sort of product list.. can you go to them with anything and they see what they can do? a "auto union typ c" would be awesome :D a 500hp monster that goes over 200mph while burning basically explosives in 16 supercharged cylinders

[@FronkG]

Jay Leno's garage? !?!

[@ToddiNorum]

Yes!

[@juancarlosromerothomas4777]

pure sang

[@RomainSandt]

This was shot in Jay Leno's Garage.

[@GustavoHenriqueRuffo]

Dear friends at ElectricFederal, I have searched for the second part of this video, but found nothing. Has it already been released?

[@retroracingshirt591]

the best of the best

[@monculsurlacommode3238]

Video start at 5:05

[@CortinasforestalesChaco]

Argentina gave two builders a sportcars Alejandro De Tomasso and Horacio Pagani both produced with their own brand , De tomasso and nowadays Pagani , Its not bad for a country of third World

[@j-tuned1955]

Is this at Jay Leno's?

[@Pandamasque]

I like your films and the subjects you pick, but the soundtrack is always, always so intrusive, distracting, clashing with the the visuals... I'm seeing a wood steering wheel and leather belt fastened hood, but I hear Roland TR-808-like 'clap' samples. There's a pre-war Bugatti on my screen, but what is coming out of my speakers is a stanced AE86.

[@sfixx]

...and what’s with the smoke alarm battery chirp while he’s talking!?!?

[@shemsonseferaj7530]

shum fort

[@jamesboardman609]

If I ever have the $$!!!!!, I’m getting Type 35!

[@RoverWaters]

you must be very intelligent and cultured

[@juancarlosromerothomas4777]

igual o mejor que la original

[@KostadinDelizhanski]

Very nice... Like your product... But... swirls on the hood. Real world owner car I hope.

[@ChristopherBell]

Any word on how Bugatti feels about it?

[@ElectricFederal]

We'd assume VW (owner of the Bugatti license) is not happy, but Ettore Bugatti built these cars in the tens--not hundreds, not thousands, just tens. Most Bugatti replicas are, like it or not, VW kit cars.

[@joevanseeters2873]

+Christopher B I am thinking Bugatti is probably OK with it. They created a new Bugatti Veyron "Pur Sang" Edition. Anyone that can replicate the EXACT, and it is EXACTLY the same car that Bugatti built when he was alive is a true craftsman. Even Bugatti himself would probably have a hard time knowing the difference although, yes, i'm sure he probably could have figured it out. But we are fortunate to have Pur Sang building these replicas for the, I dare say, "the everyday man", albeit a RICH everyday man at $300,000. Still not bad for essentially a true Bugatti. Even Jay Leno said that these Pur Sangs are probably even better than the originals because you can drive them very hard and they perform excellent!

[@j-tuned1955]

Joe pur sang just means pure blooded. I doubt Bugatti meant it in reference to the company.

[@teamsleepnine]

the details on the cr doesn't deserved to be called "kit" or "replica" more like tribute.

[@lordzevallos]

So it's a replica ?

[@eugenefong1715]

that is somewhat an insult to Pur Sang. But yes it is, a very expensive and accurate recreation. This is the God of Replicas.

[@lordzevallos]

I feel "continuation car" might be the better term to associate Pur Sang with. Eugene Fong

[@ElectricFederal]

Pur Sang started as a restorer of prewar gems. There are restorations in which 99% of components are fabricated by the shop because all that's left of the original is part of a chassis or even just an engine block. The logic Pur Sang had was to go ahead and finish up that 1%.

[@RadRidesByCru]

If you want to be accurate... it's a kit car... It comes in pieces and you put it together (or they can put it together for you). Then it's titled as whatever your state deems most appropriate. Just like all those Porsches and Cobras Jon talked down about.

[@diederikklopper3102]

Not a 37 but a 35B though.....

[@reijerlincoln]

It's miles better than a fibreglass Cobra kit car. But in the end it's authenticity and originality that makes or breaks a car.

[@Loafy23]

Do you have tens of millions of dollars to buy an original? Do you even have the slightest hope of ever even seeing an original? While I may not be a fan of this car it does look to be a very well done recreation. This isn't some VW bug stripped down with a fiberglass tub screwed to it, this is a lovingly recreated duplicate that embodies everything that is the original but at a price that is not cheap but still achievable by those with the means.

[@099las]

Well late to the party but the headline is wrong! The car in the video is a Bugatti type 35

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

It's more of a true Bugatti that that hideous, upside down bathtub that VW builds.

[@RadRidesByCru]

"we're recreating the imperfections of the car" … and hammer marks will be the least of your worries. "When you push it is when you see the soul of the car come out" … and by soul he means crank, rods, pistons, bearings, gears...

[@samsnushall1668]

Hence why you can opt.for.a few more reliable options if like

[@samsnushall1668]

They're not building you a bullet proof product

[@bassoonistfromhell]

I want one.

[@LogiForce86]

Wait, they make a replica of an Italian car and they use an English wheel? What the?! As far as my knowledge goes, and this is from a Dutch classic automobile restorer, is that the Italians always hammered their metal body panels while the English rolled them in the English wheel. Sure hammering is more time consuming, but it's the authentic way of replicating what once was. Besides the results are noticibly different to the keen eye, which is something car enthusiast have that are into these cars and this level of restored or replicated cars. So why the use of an English wheel in an Italian car?

[@Crushercurtis702]

The most pretentious "car guy" I've ever seen. Great video though.

[@ElectricFederal]

Bothwell certainly is a man of firm opinion, but he's also a genuine lover of prewar racing. The books, collectibles, and photos can fill a museum.

[@rjetta8v]

You have to be pretentious. It's a freaking bugatti. The guys who are buying these are spending 250-400k on these things. A non-pretentious car guy would half ass it. When you pay that much money, the devil is in the details.

[@ivantnt26]

So what are you saying is Singer 911 is hideous ? Common, get your shit straight ....

[@ChristopherBell]

A Singer isn't a replica, and I don't believe he referred to it directly.

[@arkangelnorthman]

"appalling".....😅🤣😂

[@80_el_Aji]

Between a Bugatti Type 37 Pur Sang and a Bugatti Veyron, I choose the Bugatti Type 37 Pur Sang , a car for gentlemen. The Veyron is more the likes of nouveau riche hooligans like Andrew Tate and that ilk
