The Bugatti Model 100 is a purpose-built air racer designed to compete in the 1939 Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race.

Ettore Bugatti started work in 1938 to design a racer to compete in the Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race, using engines sold in his automotive line for co-marketing.

Bugatti was also approached by the government of France to use the technology of the racing aircraft to develop a fighter variant for mass production.

The aircraft was the source of five modern patents, including the inline engines, v-tail mixer controls and the automatic flap system.

[7] On 4 July 2015 the reproduction aircraft, named Blue Dream taxied under the power of its two Suzuki Hayabusa engines at Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Subsequently, the right brake failed, sending the aircraft into the muddy soil adjacent to the runway, tipping it up in its nose and generating a prop and spinner strike.
