Road Rat #23

‘The Bugatti Ascendancy’ charts the rise, rise and rise again of the car maker at the peak of the hypercar mountain. Described and photographed in sumptuous detail are the one-of-one new Programme Solitaire F.K.P. Hommage and Brouillard, the 1990s EB 110 and the 1930s Type 57.

Alongside are Chris Harris on the M5 version of the E39-generation BMW 5 Series (‘the car world’s Chanel black cocktail dress’); the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB that French movie star Jean-Paul Belmondo wooed Ursula Andress in; an examination of the genius of the winner of the fateful 1957 Mille Miglia, Piero Taruffi; Jonny Lieberman on the secret late-1980s Lamborghini Miura II; and arguably the most beautiful Jaguar E-Type of them all, the XK GT. 

This is the most tactile edition of The Road Rat to date, printed on a gorgeous mix of heavy translucent, gloss and uncoated art papers.
