The Bugatti Type 41, known as the Royale, occupies a unique place in automotive history.

Its monumental proportions and engine of over 12,000 cc make it one of the most remarkable cars of its era.

The six Bugatti Type 41s built shared the same chassis and mechanical components, while their bodies differed. The Coupé Napoléon was the first to be built, following the chassis order.

Long used as Ettore Bugatti's personal car, it has become a major benchmark among prestigious automobiles of the 1930s.
