This car combines many things: It looks beautiful, agressive, cool and graceful at once and has a strong engine!

A dream car!

Such a beautiful (race) car!
It looks even better than the new 8C!

Was it available as roadster too?

I have to say again:

Very beautiful!

This is one of my favourite car all the time. It broke down when racing at Le Mans (that's very dissapointed)

No way! I think Bugatti loop was a recent addition and it's much much shorter than full Le Mans lap.

Le Mans has undergone multiple changes since that laptime happened... the chicanes, creation of the porsche curves, dunlop esses..ford chicanes, varius reprofilings of the dunlop chicane and dunlop curve..

Thats the beauty of old race cars - they were street legal and all their lap times on famous, well known tracks can qualify for this site :)

According to this site:

http://www.experiencelemans.com/contents/en-us/d187_1938_Le_Mans_24_Hours_Competitors_and_Results.html

It had a lap time of 5:13.8 around Le Mans.

Is there any chance to see laptimes for these cars?
