Various pre-war models from Bugatti are still well known today. Almost every car fan has heard of the gigantic Type 41 Royale or the Type 35, which was extremely successful in motor sports. Likewise, the various body styles of the Type 57 up to the extremely rare Atlantic are always a feast for the eyes at concours events. In addition, however, there were other model series that Ettore Bugatti developed and manufactured with just as much attention to technical detail. In 1926, for example, the Type 38 appeared as the successor to the Type 30, taking over the two-liter inline eight-cylinder engine from its predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optionally with or without supercharger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This engine alone is a treat for technology fans. Each piston has a diameter of 60 millimeters and a stroke of 88 millimeters. The crankshaft rotates in three ball bearings. Between 70 and 75 hp reach the rear axle via a four-speed manual transmission and a cardan shaft. This made a topspeed of 77.7 mph possible. One year after its market launch, Bugatti added the Type 38 A with a switchable supercharger to the range. This increased engine output to 90 or even 95 hp and maximum speed to 87 mph. Even when the Type 38 was still in production, customers complained that the normal model had too little power and that the Type 38 A had too large a supercharger. This part had been taken over unchanged from the Type 37 A racing car. As a result of these complaints, the successor model Type 43 was given a larger engine.<\/p>\n\n\n
