Bugatti Type 32 tank-bodied racers in 1923

The Bugatti Type 32, commonly called the Tank de Tours, was a streamlined racing car built in 1923. Four examples were made, each with a 2.0 L (1991 cc/121 in³) straight-8 engine based on that in the Type 30. "The Tank" finished third in the ACF Grand Prix that year.

Another tank-bodied Bugatti racer, the 1936 Type 57G, was much more successful.

Specifications:

  • Wheelbase: 78.5 in (1994 mm)
  • Track: 41.4 in (1052 mm)
  • Power: 90 hp (67 kW)
