Pierre-Henri Raphanel began working for Bugatti in 2005, becoming its lead test driver, setting a world speed record of 267 MPH in the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport in 2010. Since leaving Bugatti, Raphanel National Racing Legends is now collaborating with Bugatti on a limited run of 99 recreations of the “Baby” Type 52, originally made for Ettore Bugatti’s son on his fourth birthday. The Type 52 was a half-scale recreation of the Type 35, one of the most successful racing cars of its era. National Racing Legends recreation of the Type 52 uses the same construction techniques as the original, with hand-formed aluminum panels, wooden brake drums, and leather seats. 60 Type 52s will be available to customize, with the final 39 being bespoke creations.
