Description of the actual model
The Bugatti 41 Royale was designed by Ettore Bugatti in 1927 as the most luxurious and imposing automobile ever created. Intended exclusively for the crowned heads of Europe, this exceptional car measured over 6 meters long and weighed nearly 3 tons, setting new standards in automotive prestige .
Equipped with a 12.7-liter inline-8 engine developing 300 horsepower, the Type 41 was powered by the largest engine ever fitted to a production automobile. Its roadster body, with its elegant lines and distinctive grille, embodied the technical excellence and decorative artistry of the era.
Despite its exceptional qualities, only six examples were produced between 1927 and 1933, making the Bugatti Royale one of the rarest and most sought-after automobiles in the world.
Brand Description
By 1927, Bugatti was at the height of its fame, dominating European racing circuits and producing exceptional automobiles. The Alsatian marque, led by the visionary Ettore Bugatti , had forged an unparalleled reputation for creating vehicles that combined sporting performance with artistic refinement.
Founded in 1909 in Molsheim, the Bugatti brand revolutionized the automotive industry by introducing remarkable technical innovations and inimitable style. Ettore Bugatti, nicknamed "the Boss," considered his creations to be mechanical works of art , refusing to compromise on quality and aesthetics. This philosophy made Bugatti an absolute benchmark in luxury automobiles, attracting a wealthy and demanding clientele across Europe.
The Real Vehicle Anecdote
The history of the Bugatti Royale is full of fascinating anecdotes that attest to its exceptional character. Ettore Bugatti originally designed this automobile for King Alfonso XIII of Spain , but the political turmoil of the time compromised this royal sale. Ironically, no crowned head ultimately purchased a Royale, despite the manufacturer's initial intentions.
The most famous of the six Royales produced belonged to Armand Esders , a wealthy Parisian couturier who commissioned a special roadster version. This car, painted in the same blue/green tones as our miniature, became legendary for its nighttime outings on the Champs-Élysées, where it impressed with its presence and quietness.
During World War II, Bugatti hid several Royales to protect them from German requisition. One was even locked away in a secret garage for years, creating a mystery that fascinated collectors until its rediscovery in the 1960s.
Today, Bugatti Royales are among the most expensive automobiles in the world at auction, with some having sold for tens of millions of euros, testifying to their legendary status in automotive history.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
