At the 2019 Geneva auto show, Bugatti announced that to celebrate its 110th birthday. It would be building a reimagined version of the original Bugatti Baby, now featuring EV power. Now we’ve got pictures of what the finished version will look like. We also got confirmation of the different versions that will be offered.

At the bottom of the line, the base model has a composite body and a 1.4-kWh battery pack. Funnily, the name itself ensures that no self-respecting Bugatti owner will buy it. Above that, the Vitesse version gets a brawnier 2.8-kWh battery and a punchier powertrain. It includes (as in the Chiron) a “speed key” to unlock its full performance. At the top of the range, the Pur Sang model uses the same mechanical package as the Vitesse. But it also adds hand-formed aluminium bodywork, just like on an original Type 35.

Further Details

All versions have a limited-slip differential and selectable driving modes, with Novice limiting speed to 12 mph and 1.3 hp of electrical power, and Expert increasing that to 30 mph and 5.4 hp. Vitesse and Pur Sang versions can be put into a faster mode through their speed keys. This allows deployment of a dizzying 13.4 hp and giving a top speed of 42 mph.

They’re unlikely to be street legal in most territories—although it would certainly be fun to try—Bugatti claims that the smaller battery pack gives a range of up to 15.5 miles on a charge, with the larger one doubling that to 31 miles. Do even Bugatti owners have such extensive grounds to patrol?

Other details include working instruments, including the original fuel pressure gauge which now reports battery percentage and a quick-release version of the brand’s historic four-spoke steering wheel to make access to the cockpit easier. It also gets LED headlights and a Bugatti badge made from 50 grams of solid silver.
