Top Cars's video: Top Cars : The Bugatti Legend Vitesse Black Bess Evolution 1912-2014

[Top Cars]: The Bugatti Legend Vitesse Black Bess Evolution (1912-2014). The Bugatti Type 18, also called the Garros, is an automobile produced from 1912 through 1914. Produced shortly after the start of the business, the design was something of a relic. It had much in common with the cars Ettore Bugatti had designed for Deutz Gasmotoren Fabrik but with the radiator of the Type 13. Only 6 or 7 examples were built. Power came from a large 5.0 L (5027 cc/306 in³) straight-4 engine with 3 valves per cylinder and a single overhead camshaft. This large engine had a 100 mm bore and very long 160 mm stroke, so it could only rev to about 2400 rpm. The rear wheels were chain driven. The fifth model in Bugatti’s Legends series recalls the Type 18, nicknamed “Black Bess”, which went down in motoring history as one of the first street-legal supercars. In its day, it was one of the fastest road cars in the world, and is the direct ancestor of the Bugatti Veyron, the holder of the current world speed record. Its first owner was the French aviation pioneer Roland Garros, who successfully crossed the Mediterranean in an airplane in 1913 after winning several flying competitions. The Type 18 caught his eye after Ettore’s win at Mont Ventoux. Roland Garros, who loved speed, was looking for a car that would allow him to travel as fast on land as he did in the air. He chose the Type 18 – a huge marketing success for Ettore Bugatti. The world premiere of the Legends Vitesse “Black Bess” took place at Auto China in Beijing in April 2014. Extravagant and luxurious The black carbon body of the Legends Vitesse offers a modern interpretation of the gold elements that made the Type 18 “Black Bess” so unmistakeable. It was the first time that elements of the body of a B Bugatti were coated with 24-carat gold. The Bugatti horseshoe, the EB logo on the rear and the hubcaps are also made of gleaming gold. The effect is accentuated by golden stripes that extend backwards over both front wings in a ray shape, tapering off as they approach the doors. Not to be overlooked: the petrol and oil filler caps, engraved with the name “Black Bess” and painted gold. Enjoy the video? Give it a thumbs up!
