Description

The Bugatti Type 49 Cabriolet by Tomáš represents one of the final evolutions of Ettore Bugatti’s legendary line of touring cars. Introduced in 1930, the Type 49 featured refined engineering, elegant styling, and the craftsmanship that defined Bugatti’s pre-war luxury models.

Powered by a 3.3-liter inline-eight engine with a single overhead camshaft and three valves per cylinder, the Type 49 delivered smooth, robust performance suited for both spirited driving and comfortable touring. It featured an advanced chassis with semi-elliptical leaf springs and four-wheel mechanical brakes, providing a balanced ride and reliable stopping power.

The coachwork by Tomáš added a distinctive flair to the Type 49’s already graceful profile. With sweeping fenders, a gently tapering rear deck, and finely detailed trim, the cabriolet version exuded understated luxury. The interior was equally well-appointed, with rich materials, finely crafted gauges, and a focus on driver comfort and visibility.

Today, the Bugatti Type 49 Cabriolet by Tomáš is considered a rare and cherished example of Bugatti’s artistry in both engineering and design, often seen gracing concours lawns and vintage rallies around the world.
