Bugatti has unveiled a one-of-one Baby II, and it’s the cutest thing you’ll ever see.
Cute isn’t usually a word you would attach to a car, but it really does fit in the case of this extraordinary ride.
The Baby II was created to commemorate the maker’s 115th birthday.
Its designed as homage to the legendary Type 35 race car and is described as bringing together ‘heritage, artistry, and personal passion’.

The Baby II – a tribute to the history of Bugatti
This pint-sized car was the product of a collaboration between Bugatti and British company, Hedley Studios.
The UK company describes itself as working ‘at the intersection between art and automotive excellence’.
We can think of no better way to describe the Baby II.
Decked out ‘Nocturne’ black and ‘Giallo Midas’ yellow – colors loved by Ettore Bugatti himself – the three-quarter scale car is like a trip back in time.
It’s also adorned with hand-drawn sketches, which depict the history of the car brand.
Ettore and his son, Jean, were featured on there, alongside nods to the company’s racing legacy.
And it’s not just on the outside where special details abound.
The interior is decked out in black leather from the Bridge of Weir, UK, a Scottish village which was formed around its leather industry back in the 18th century.
Jascha Straub, the supercar maker’s Manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization, designed the Baby II.
“Maintaining and celebrating the heritage of the brand and its founder was a major consideration,” he said of the project.
Hedley Studios founder Ben Hedley voiced similar feelings, as he branded the collaboration a ‘brilliant canvas for a one-of-one piece of art’.
After all, 115 years of successful motoring is well worth celebrating.
Even 100 is a remarkable milestone in the world of automotives, as demonstrated when this 100-year-old car got fixed up.
A meeting of two worlds – the arts and the automotive industry
In a video shared to the manufacturer’s YouTube channel, Straub expanded more on the project’s deeper meaning.
“More than any other car brand, Bugatti has a deep connection to the arts.
“We are not building for the next 10, 15, 20 years.
“We’re building cars for the next 100 years.
“If comparable, it’s no longer Bugatti,” he said.
That’s one effective slogan.
Small cars are something of a rarity in an industry that seems to live by the motto of ‘the bigger the better’.
Dodge was known for selling smaller cars in Mexico, and BMW’s Microlino is also on the teensy side.
But they’re not one-of-one cars made with Scottish leather and decorated in hand-drawn art, so perhaps it’s an unfair comparison.
Which just makes the teeny tiny Baby II all the more adorable.
