Bugatti Royale
The Henry Ford
Better known as the Royale because of its intended customer base, the Bugatti Type 41 was an enormous car. It weighed 3.5 tons, stretched 21 feet, rested on 24-inch wheels, and was powered by a 12.7-liter straight-8 engine. The car, which could cost $40,000 or more when new, depending on the bodywork, arrived a few years before the world economy plummeted into the Great Depression. Consequently, Bugatti built only six, each with unique bodywork, and sold only four.
