Of which car models were only a few built?

Of this splendor.

This is a Bugatti Type 41, also called the Bugatti Royale.

It was meant to compete with Rolls Royce, Maybach and Mercedes Benz in the luxury class.

But they had chosen a bad time, the Great Depression, and the project failed.

Only six were built.

Here you see it in 1932 with its owner, Jean Bugatti, the son of the company founder.
