Bugatti Type 252

The car now resides in the Cité de l'Automobile museum in Mulhouse, France.

It was reportedly pitched to multiple different investors but never was funded and remained a one-off.

[1] It is powered by a 1.5 L (1,488 cc, 76 x 82 mm) inline 4 engine with twin overhead camshafts and uses MacPherson strut suspension in the front and rear.

During development, the car suffered numerous engine problems, and on test drives, driver Pierre Macoin would frequently end up broken down on the side of the road.

Work on the suspension began in August 1959 and was completed in 1962, but the project was abandoned soon after.
