Bugatti Type 35
Odette — The Courage to Race
The Story
There was a time when racing demanded more than speed. It demanded courage.
Introduced in 1924, the Bugatti Type 35 became one of the most successful racing machines of its era, combining Ettore Bugatti's extraordinary engineering with a level of elegance rarely seen in competition. With its exposed wheels, open cockpit, and unmistakable horseshoe radiator, it helped define the golden age of Grand Prix racing.
Odette — The Courage to Race celebrates that fearless era. Her rich French Racing Blue, bold number 14, and vintage pinstriping capture a time when drivers faced the elements with little more than skill, determination, and an extraordinary machine beneath them.
For me, the Type 35 represents a beautiful connection between early motorsport and the craftsmanship that continues to inspire hot rod and custom culture. Its exposed mechanical details and purposeful design remind us that performance and artistry have always belonged together.
Odette is a tribute to those pioneering drivers and the machines that transformed racing into a passion shared across generations.
Because before racing became a science, it was an extraordinary act of courage.
