Type 45 (Perridon) Type 45

Built solely for racing purposes, such as hill climb events, this model belongs to the series officially designated as the Type 47. Within this series, the Type 47 is the 3-liter version, while the Type 45 is the more powerful 4-liter version. Only two cars from this series were originally built at the Bugatti factory: one Type 47 and one Type 45, both now preserved in the Schlumpf Collection in France. The other Type 45 was later assembled from original spare parts, built on a Type 45 chassis fitted with a Type 47 engine, and is part of The Perridon Collection.
